The Update at a glance
New AI Assist features
Document Summary
Effortlessly condense long documents such as interviews, literature sources, newspaper articles, focus group transcripts, and more into concise, digestible summaries. AI Assist seamlessly distills the essence of your text-based data to provide you with a comprehensive overview. The summary is stored in the document memo, which is always accessible and securely linked to the original document.
Choose from three summary lengths and opt for a concise bulleted list format for quick reference. Language flexibility is at your fingertips: Select the preferred language for your summary, ideal for working with text in less familiar languages.
Explain text selection
Ever come across a term or concept in your text that needs clarification? With the latest AI Assist feature, you can simply highlight any term or phrase and get a clear explanation. These explanations are stored in memos that are linked to the highlighted text and remain accessible at every stage of your research workflow.
The AI Assist add-on, available in MAXQDA, can already summarize and analyze text passages and generate paraphrases. It can assist by automatically generating summaries for coded segments and preparing subcodes or code suggestions. A quick overview of the text content and the ability to easily customize the AI-generated summary to meet specific needs is highly beneficial. In addition, AI Assist can further streamline your research process by generating summaries for coded segments within a code memo.

If you need even more colors, you can still click on the color wheel and select any color you like.
