QInsights is a qualitative analysis workspace for overloaded researchers who need traceable, transparent insights — not black-box AI guesses. AI helps with the volume. You stay in charge of the thinking.
Book a Demo
Yet most researchers are stuck between heavy software, messy spreadsheets, and AI tools that spit out "themes" from transcripts and open-ended responses that they can't defend.
Hours lost re-reading interviews, open-ended responses, and notes — just to remember what is where.
Traditional QDAS tools feel overwhelming. Excel breaks at scale. You're juggling exports, tabs, and colour codes instead of thinking.
Generic AI claims to "do your analysis", but delivers shallow summaries with no clear link back to evidence. You can't put that in front of a supervisor or stakeholder.
Behind the scenes, you worry: What if someone asks how I got from data to these conclusions? Will my trail hold up?
Not "themes in minutes". Not black-box AI. Just a workflow that lets you analyze qualitative research data, produce insights you can explain, and stand behind them.
Every theme, pattern, and answer links back to the exact underlying quotes. You always see where an insight comes from — ready for thesis defence, peer review, or stakeholder scrutiny.
You ask the questions and interpret the results. AI helps organise, retrieve, and surface candidate patterns. Decisions stay in your hands.
No more tool-hopping or guessing the "right" process. QInsights gives you a clear, question-driven workflow for moving from raw text to defensible findings.
Stop choosing between heavy tools and superficial AI. Get a structured analysis environment that respects your methods and your time.
Insights On-Demand:
Stay ahead of the curve with our collection of live and on-demand webinars. Learn best practices, discover industry trends, and gain actionable insights directly from our experts. Access the knowledge you need, whenever you need it.
How It Works:
Bring your interview transcripts, focus group notes, open-ended survey data, or audio files.
Ask targeted questions, compare groups, surface patterns — and always see the supporting quotes behind each answer.
Organise themes, evidence, and interpretations in one place. Export what you need for your thesis, report, slide deck, or stakeholder presentation — with your analysis trail intact.
Black-box "themes in minutes"
Every insight linked to underlying quotations
Shallow summaries with no clear evidence
Researcher-led, AI-assisted workflow
Steep learning curves and feature overload
Clear, question-driven steps instead of feature maze
Leave you guessing how insights were produced

"QInsights supports us with impressive quality in analyzing qualitative data, saving us a great deal of time. It’s developed with strong user focus and offers excellent customer service."
QInsights is built for qualitative work where confidentiality and ethics matter.
Data handling designed with European privacy standards in mind. You stay in control of what is uploaded and deleted.
Your project data is never used to train generic models. It stays your project, your context, your responsibility.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, so you can focus on analysis knowing that the basics are covered.
Bring one set of transcripts or open-ended responses into QInsights and see what it feels like to analyse with clarity instead of chaos.
No credit card required. Ideal for academic as well as professional research, market analysis, evaluations, and collaborative teams.
QInsights supports most commonly spoken languages. For example, if you upload a document in Spanish, the system will recognize the language and provide a summary in Spanish. If you then ask a question in English, the answer will be provided in English, while any quoted text from the source remains in the original language.
Tip: To view the QInsights interface in your preferred language, adjust your browser's language settings. Our interface will follow your browser preferences.
You can contact our support team by emailing support@qinsights.ai.
When you register, you'll also receive a series of onboarding emails with helpful information, including a link to our user guide and video tutorials to guide you through your first steps with QInsights.
You can upload and analyse a wide range of unstructured text formats, including:
Yes. When QInsights provides themes or answers, it includes supporting quotes or segments from your uploaded documents. This lets you verify and trace where insights come from—ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
Yes. QInsights supports team collaboration. You can share projects with team members who also have a QInsights account, making it easy to collaborate on data analysis within your research group, organization, or consultancy team.
NotebookLM: Is primarily an information retrieval and study tool. It is designed to help you synthesize facts, generate study guides, and find specific answers within a corpus of text. Its "intelligence" is geared toward summarizing what is there.
QInsights: Is a qualitative analysis platform. It does not just retrieve information; it is built to help you find patterns, derive themes, and explore the "why" behind human dialogue.
NotebookLM: Is methodology agnostic. It treats a research transcript the same way it treats a physics textbook or a legal brief. It has no inherent understanding of qualitative research rigor.
QInsights: The system is tuned to act as a thinking partner for researchers.
NotebookLM: Requires the user to provide all the work, for example "Summarize this" or "Compare Source A to Source B".
QInsights: Provides a guided environment. Because it knows it is a qualitative tool, it can proactively surface thematic patterns or suggest directions for analysis that are standard in qualitative research.
While NotebookLM can technically see demographic information if you paste it into the transcripts, it lacks the specialized brain to handle it systematically for qualitative research.
In QInsights, demographics are metadata, a separate layer of instructions that tells the AI how to slice and dice the data and distinguish between interviewer and respondent.
NotebookLM is a workspace for building a final document, whereas QInsights is a repository for an ongoing research journey.
