Themes extracted using semantic embeddings

How Theme Extraction Works

We use semantic embeddings to understand meaning, not just keywords. Similar ideas cluster together even when worded differently.

Semantic Embeddings

Each response is converted to a vector that captures its meaning. "Better pay" and "compensation could improve" cluster together.

AI Naming

AI generates clear, descriptive theme names and summaries. Not just "Cluster 1" - meaningful labels like "Work-Life Balance Concerns".

Impact Scoring

AI analyzes each theme for business impact - retention risk, productivity, financial impact. Tags as Critical, High, Medium, or Low.

Feeds Validation

Themes automatically become candidates for cross-validation. See which themes are widespread vs vocal minorities.

AI-Powered Prioritization
