Summarize: Generate initial summaries from your Remesh Conversation – Remesh

Overview

Quickly and effortlessly generate initial summaries from your Remesh Conversation. Summarize is a new feature that leverages a large language model (LLM) from OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. The LLM technology is used to power a new approach to qualitative analysis and enhance the Remesh experience.

How it Works

First, Remesh Summarize generates a summary for each open-end question, covering Ask Opinion, Branch Opinion, and Ask Experience. The system selects key responses to summarize from each question that optimize for the spread of thought, overall performance, and technical limitations around LLMs. This selection process currently uses existing analysis algorithms like Highlights for Ask Opinion, Branch Opinion, and Thematic Clusters for Ask Experience, with others to come.

Next, Remesh Summarize creates a comprehensive Conversation-level summary based on the individual question summaries. Users are able to create new slices of Conversation-level summaries by selecting their own set of questions.

When a user lands on the page, they see the individual and default Conversation-level summaries.

Reviewing & Accepting Summarize Terms

In order for any user within a Workspace to use this feature, a Workspace Admin must review and approve Summarize terms.

Non-Admins are able to see the “Summarize” tab within the Analysis Page but must Request Access via the interface. An email will be sent to Workspace Admins to notify them of a user request, with a link to Summarize terms within Workspace Settings.

Admins are able to see the “Summarize” tab within the Analysis Page, and can approve the feature directly within the interface. Only one Workspace Admin needs to Accept in order to avail the feature to all users of the Workspace. At any time, Workspace Admins can also access, review, manage enable/disable within Workspace Settings.

Filter by segment when using Summarize

By generating AI-powered text summaries of responses from specific segments, you can better understand your target audience in seconds. This applies to question-level and Conversation-level summaries.

Whether you’re generating summaries at the question level or Conversation level, you can find the Segment filter dropdown menu on the top-level page.

When filtering by segment, there may be time delays. The blue checkmark icon indicates that the data should populate quickly. Segments with a “~60s” clock icon have data that may require some loading time.

Question-level Summaries

Users will be able to review question-level summaries for each open-end on the left side of the screen. Each question summary can be quick-copied.

Summaries for Ask Opinion and Branch Opinion questions are based on Highlight responses.
Summaries for Ask Experience questions are based on central responses from each Thematic Cluster.

Conversation-level Summary

Users are also able to review a default Conversation-level summary on the right side of the screen. New summaries can be generated based on a custom selection of questions that the user selects. Requests for summaries should take no longer than a minute, with most being faster than 15 seconds. For Conversation-levels, three Summary Formats are available using the drop-down menu above the summary text. These reflect the length of the summary outputs.

Paragraph: The default format, around a single paragraph
Half-Page Summary: A few paragraphs
Bullet Point Summary: Individual bullet point instead of paragraph

Providing Feedback

A feedback mechanism accompanies this feature, with gathered feedback used to improve the overall feature. Users are encouraged to apply a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down and an optional further explanation for each Conversation-level summary. Users can apply another set of Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down and comments if they change their minds.
