Viewing & analyzing responses

Once respondents start completing your interview, you can review their answers and turn them into a structured analysis.

Viewing responses

Open your Ask project and click Responses. You see a table with one row per respondent, showing:

• Date — when the respondent completed the interview.
• Email — the respondent's email address (if provided and anonymisation is off).
• Key insights — Skimle automatically extracts bullet-point summaries for each question, giving you a quick overview without reading the full transcript.

Click Responses on any row to open the full transcript. The transcript dialog groups the conversation by question theme, showing the original question, any follow-up questions the AI asked, and all of the respondent's answers.

Creating an analysis project

To perform deeper analysis on your collected responses, click Analyze from the project list or the responses page. Skimle creates a standard analysis project where:

• Each respondent becomes a document.
• Questions are organised as categories.
• Key insights are extracted and assigned to categories.
• The full toolkit of categories, views, metadata, AI chat, and exports is available.

Analysis options

Depending on the current state of your project, you may see different options:

• Create — generate the first analysis. This uses credits based on the number of respondents.
• Analyze new — if new responses have arrived since the last analysis, add only those to the existing project.
• Recreate — delete the previous analysis and regenerate it from scratch with all current responses.

The credit cost is shown before you confirm. Analysis runs in the background; you receive a notification when it is complete.

Tips

• You do not need to wait for all respondents to finish before analysing. You can create an initial analysis and add new responses later with the Analyze new option.
• Use the key insights column in the responses table for a quick scan before committing to a full analysis.
• If you update your questions and collect new responses, consider using Recreate to ensure the analysis reflects the latest question set.
