Built around how
researchers actually work
Thematica AI is designed around one principle: AI can accelerate the mechanical parts of qualitative analysis, but the interpretation stays with you. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Surface potential codes as you read
As you work through interview transcripts, field notes, or open-ended survey responses, Thematica AI helps identify and surface potential codes directly in the text. You review each suggestion before it becomes part of your codebook — nothing is applied automatically.
"The programme assumed families could travel monthly, which didn't hold for the households furthest from the clinic."
"Staff started combining visits informally to cut down the burden, well before it became official policy."

Researcher control, by design
Every AI suggestion — a code, a cluster, a candidate theme — is presented for your review. Thematica AI is built so the final analytical judgment is always yours.
- AcceptAdd the suggestion to your codebook as-is.
- EditRefine the label or scope before confirming.
- Reject or ignoreDismiss it — nothing is applied automatically.
Examine relationships before you commit to a theme
Once codes start to accumulate, Thematica AI helps you examine patterns and relationships across them — surfacing candidate groupings so you can evaluate whether they hold together as a theme, rather than tracking co-occurrences by hand.
Trace every code back to where it came from
Analysis that loses touch with the underlying data is hard to trust. Where supported, Thematica AI lets you trace a code or theme back to the original excerpt it came from, so you can always ground a finding in what was actually said.
Reviewable outputs Details at launch
Your coded data and emerging themes are organized so you can review them and carry them into the rest of your workflow. We'll publish the specific export formats as they're finalized.
An approachable workflow
Whether you're experienced with research software or coding your first transcript, Thematica AI is designed so the software gets out of the way of the analysis.
What's not shown here yet
We haven't verified collaboration features, specific file-format support, integrations, or formal security/compliance certifications, so none of that is advertised on this page. As each is confirmed, we'll update this page rather than get ahead of what the product actually does.
