Build Confidence in Your Research With Delve’s AI Assistant

Delve’s AI Assistant acts as a virtual peer debriefer to review and discuss your findings, and a virtual research assistant to help you deductively code your qualitative data.

AI can be a powerful tool for analyzing qualitative data, but it cannot automatically complete your whole research project for you. You (a human researcher) still need to design your study, understand the context behind the research, be familiar with your data, and construct meaning from your codes. 

However, AI can help give you a second opinion on your codes, or speed up the tedious tasks of applying a well defined codebook. AI can act like a collaborator, helping you explore and critique your findings, especially if you’re working solo, or don’t have frequent communication with your dissertation chair and peer debriefers.

How AI Can Help

 

AI Acts as a Peer Debriefer

  • Problem: You’ve worked hard to code your data, but not sure if it’s making sense. You want someone to double check your work and brainstorm ideas with, but your dissertation chair and peer debriefers aren’t available. 

  • Solution: Use “AI Chat” to review your codes and let you know if any codes seem unclear. Have a discussion that enables you to clarify your codebook, write more effective code descriptions, and stress test your findings.

 
 

Apply Codes with AI

  • Problem: You have developed a codebook, but are running out of time to code all the transcripts yourself. You’re considering simply dropping some transcripts from your study due to the time constraints.

  • Solution: Use “Apply Codes with AI” take your codebook and code your transcripts. AI will take your code names and code descriptions and automatically apply them to a transcript. You can review the AI’s work as you would any other peer-researcher, or explore the findings with our AI Chat feature.

 
 

After Initial Coding, AI Provides Ideas for Sub-Codes

  • Problem: You did a few rounds of initial coding, where you made some high level codes. Now you want to explore how to break those codes into subcodes.

  • Solution: You use “AI Chat” to brainstorm potential subcodes.. Discuss what the AI Chat has come up with,  until you have a solid set of subcodes that add more nuance to your final codebook.
