Thorough, structured analysis of your text with AI
Skimle draws inspiration from social science methodology to leverage AI in an entirely new way to supercharge your knowledge work. Our iterative process turns your body of documents, such as interviews, call transcripts, reports, or legal contracts into structured knowledge, helping you surface patterns and anomalies in your textual data.
Think of Skimle as your tireless research assistant. You define what knowledge or information you want to extract from your documents (we call these insight types). Our AI workflow processes your documents thoroughly, identifying direct quotes that correspond to your interest. Initially similar quotes present in a single document are combined into insights. The AI then forms a parsimonious and comprehensive category scheme from your data and groups similar insights together. Categories and subcategories essentially synthesize observations across your documents, helping you move from individual documents, such as what one interviewee told you, to more abstract questions, such as what all interviewees say about a specific issue.
Innovative user interfaces provide transparency
At launch, Skimle's main view is the interactive "spreadsheet" that allows quick navigation from broad categories to individual insights and the content of documents. Each document is represented by a row, while the main categories are displayed as columns.
Clicking on an insight allows the user to immediately open a box displaying corresponding quotes and other information. You already find some of the traditional spreadsheet functionality, such as sorting and filtering, and we are constantly adding new features. You can expect highlight, comment, and hide/unhide functions for documents, insights, and categories.
Clicking the magnifying class icon on any quote immediately takes you to the context of original document, helping you zoom into the raw materials. Even though modern AI is fairly good at analyzing and grouping content, it is always important to go back to the original documents to verify the conclusions for yourself!
A rich chat interface to your data
Our service features a highly customized chat interface that leverages the abstract knowledge structure and behind-the-scenes reasoning process to answer your queries. Our chat does not only draw on the original document materials like all widely available "RAG Chatbots" (Retrieval Augmented Generation), but also utilizes the insights and the categorization scheme to serve you a superior, structured response.
Every part of our answers is grounded in the exact quotes from your data, and our interface provides effortless access to the quotes. By clicking the small diamond icon, the user interface opens the insights that the answer draws on. Clicking the magnifying class will then take you to the original document context of the quote.
