Aha! Discovery puts AI where research happens. Record an interview and Elle transcribes it. Feed it a transcript and it returns sentiment, learnings, and quotes. Point it at a whole study and it finds the themes running through every conversation. This article breaks down what AI functionality is available in Aha! Discovery.

Elle's responses are generated automatically and might include inaccurate information. Please carefully review the results for errors. Your account data is never used to train the AI model.
AI interview transcription
Run the interview, not the note-taking. Aha! Discovery transcribes your recorded interviews automatically, so the conversation becomes searchable text the moment it ends and you can stay present with the person in front of you.

Interview transcript analysis
Insights in seconds. Use Elle to summarize interview transcripts and highlight key takeaways, including an overall summary, your participants' emotional sentiment, learnings, and quotes. The analysis funnels into an insights report you can share with stakeholders inside or outside your Aha! account. Read more about AI analysis.
Every chat interaction with Elle or use of AI capabilities will use credits from your account's shared pool. This pool automatically refreshes at the start of each billing period, and if you run out of credits before the end of the billing period, billing administrators in your account can purchase more credits. Purchased credits do not expire for active accounts.
Analyze customer research
One interview tells you about one person. Elle reads across your research — interviews, notes, and files — to surface the patterns that repeat, so you can act on what your market is telling you rather than on the last conversation you happened to have.

AI credits
Every chat interaction with Elle or use of AI capabilities deducts AI credits from your account's shared pool. The number of credits used depends on the size and complexity of your request. Long or detailed instructions, multiple PDFs or images, or large pasted text will require more processing.
Each prompt is unique and it is not possible to know ahead of time how credits will be used, but the table below gives general guidelines.
Prompt type |
Example prompts |
Approximate credit usage |
|---|---|---|
Quick edits and questions |
|
1 credit |
Short drafts and summaries |
|
1-2 credits |
Generated content |
|
2-3 credits |
Extended analysis and iteration |
|
3+ credits |
Your credit pool automatically refreshes at the start of each billing period. If you run out before the period ends, billing administrators in your account can purchase more, and purchased credits do not expire for active accounts.
If Elle experiences a technical error when providing a response, credits will not be deducted from your account.
To prompt efficiently, be specific in your requests, set a target output length, generate an outline before moving into a draft, and refine sections selectively by highlighting text. The AI prompt library helps you build prompts that are well defined and efficient for repeated tasks.
