How to use the tool

From a folder of papers to a set of defensible themes in about two minutes. The first 3 studies of every analysis are free; each extra study is $0.50 (≈50p), up to 15.

1. 1

   Collect your studies

   Gather 3 to 15 studies on your topic — journal articles, dissertations, or reports. You only need the findings or results section of each one, not the full paper.

2. 2

   Paste the findings, one box per study

   Copy the findings/results text of each study into its own box and label it with a short citation such as “Smith et al. (2021)”. Skip abstracts, methods, and reference lists — the engine analyses what the study found, so pasting only findings keeps the coding sharp.

3. 3

   Choose an analysis framework

   Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke) is the default and the safest choice for most coursework. Choose Thematic Synthesis (Thomas & Harden) for systematic-review style syntheses, Framework Analysis for health/policy work, Grounded Theory for building categories toward a theory, or Qualitative Content Analysis for a descriptive category system.

4. 4

   Run the analysis and watch it work

   Each study is read and coded first — every code appears as a bubble with a verbatim supporting quote. Then the engine searches across studies, and the bubbles cluster into named themes. Hover any bubble to see its quote and source study.

5. 5

   Review the report and export it

   Below the visualisation you get the full report: a theme-by-study matrix, each theme with its contributing papers, how those studies support each other and where they diverge, supporting codes with quotes, a synthesis summary, and a limitations note. Download it as a Word document (.docx) or copy it as Markdown.

6. 6

   Review it like a researcher

   AI-assisted coding is a starting point, not a finished analysis. Check that quotes are truly from your studies, rename themes to fit your research question, and report in your write-up that analysis was AI-assisted and researcher-reviewed.
