Introducing the new Chat feature

The freshly released chat lets you have a natural language conversation with the documents you’ve uploaded. Wether you want to chat and explore all of your data at once – or focus on a specific set of documents– this feature unlocks a new level of insight.

Instead of sifting through pages of text, you can simply ask your data questions and receive clear, conversational answers. This opens up the opportunity for an exploratory, interactive approach that can help you with multiple research tasks, for example:

  • Uncover patterns and connections: Easily identify relationships between different pieces of information that might have been missed through traditional research methods.
  • Identify key themes and trends: Quickly distill large volumes of data into actionable insights, revealing the most important topics and emerging trends.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of opinions and sentiments within in your data: Explore the nuances of perspectives and feelings expressed in your documents, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of your data’s meaning.

With Tailwind’s chat feature, your documents become dynamic resources, ready to answer your questions and reveal their hidden potential. It’s more than just searching – it’s a conversation with your data.

Interactive References

We believe in transparency and empowering you with control over your information. That’s why, just like all AI-generated outputs in MAXQDA Tailwind (Beta), the chat responses will include interactive references to the original documents. You can always verify the AI answers, explore the context, or use the answer as a starting point to dive deeper into your documents and any topic that sparks your interest.

Chat History

Need to revisit a previous idea or refine an earlier response? With the MAXQDA Tailwind (Beta) chat, you can! We’ve built in a comprehensive chat history feature, allowing you to easily pick up where you left off in any conversation.

But we didn’t stop there. Finding that specific conversation is simple thanks to our integrated search field. Just type in a keyword, and instantly locate the chat you’re looking for. Your chat history is a powerful resource, always at your fingertips, helping you build on your ideas and get the most out of your AI interactions.
