As well as providing an easy-to-use, intuitive coding interface for manual coding, codeit has inbuilt power to support automated coding using text matching, text rules and machine learning. This section provides an initial summary of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) layers available in codeit and when to use each one separately or in combination.
Watch the video guide below for an introduction to the AI layers Text Matching, Text Rules, and Machine Learning. For an introduction to codeit's themeit tool, see this separate guide.
Summary of AI types
The table below summarises the layers of Artificial Intelligence that can be applied during the coding process, either individually or in parallel. Click on the hyperlinks for a full guide on how to use each method.
| AI Layer | Details |
|---|---|
| Text Matching | Automatically applies codes by matching verbatims against identical previously coded verbatims, or matching the verbatim text against the text of codeframe items. |
| Text Rules | Automatically applies codes by matching using user-defined text matching rules. |
| Machine Learning | Codeit learns from the coded examples you provide and uses this learning to autocode. |
| themeit | themeit performs an automated analysis of a set of verbatims using a combination of cutting-edge generative AI and our own proprietary AI techniques. As themeit is focused on the task of verbatim analysis it needs to provide tools and techniques that are optimised for this task - beyond those that are possible by "out of the box" generative AI tools. |
| Codeframe Builder | If you're starting a new coding project, you'll need to create an initial codeframe before you can apply any codes to your data. The process of building up a codeframe from scratch can be time-consuming. To help speed up this process, codeit's "Codeframe Builder" AI-powered tool can kick-start your coding and get you on your way much more quickly. |
