An overview of AI Insights, Summaries, and Themes in Interviews

Learn more about the Insights section under Interviews.

Updated this week

When you upload videos to Interviews, AI automatically analyzes them and pulls out insights, which you can find in the Insights section in the left side panel under an Interviews study.

What You’ll Find on the Insights Page

Each Insights page includes an AI-generated summary as well as insights grouped into the following categories:

  • Key themes

  • Pain points

  • Opportunities

  • Behaviors

  • Wants

  • Positive sentiments

There are also customized additional insight categories that will be added based on your uploaded videos.

Click on one of the categories, e.g. key themes, to view all associated insights.

Individual Insights

To dive into a specific insight:

  1. Click on a category (e.g., Key themes).

  2. Select an insight from the right side panel.

  3. See the number of sources and citations associated with each insight.

Once an individual insight is selected, you can:

  • View the description and supporting points

  • Copy the description and supporting points

  • View citations

  • Bookmark it

  • Share a link to the individual insights

    • To view a shared link, the viewer must be logged into Optimal.

Bookmarks

When you upload new interviews to a project, you'll have the option to regenerate new insights.

A user will need to click on Regenerate insights above the insight Summary to incorporate insights from the new video(s).

When you regenerate insights, new insights will replace all current insights, except for insights that you choose to bookmark.

After regenerating, highlight reels only associated with bookmarked insights will be saved.

To keep any existing insights and associated highlight reels, be sure to bookmark your insights before clicking on Regenerate insights.

Highlight Reels, Clips, and Citations

Once an individual insight is selected, you'll see the associated highlight reel and can:

  • Download the highlight reel

  • Click on citations indicated by an icon and number to jump to the exact timestamp in the highlight reel. Each speaker will be associated with their own dedicated icon.

  • Download clips by clicking on ... then Download clip in an individual citation box

  • Click on Show quotes

Once a quote is shown, you can:

  • Copy the quote

  • Click to view the full transcript

Note on Languages

Please note that AI in Interviews will support English video recordings for the initial early access launch. It is not intended to be used for non-English at this time.

We’re currently exploring how to expand Interviews beyond early access with additional capabilities, including non-English and multilingual support. If this capability is important to you, we’d love to hear your feedback through our feedback form
