Current Character Limits

The AI Assist functions in MAXQDA employ state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) to support your qualitative data analysis. These models are inherently subject to limitations regarding the amount of text they can process.

To maintain optimal performance and accuracy, some AI Assist functions have text quantity limits. These restrictions vary by function and will continually expand with advancements in AI technology, as long as it aligns with each function's methodological and content requirements.
