## Topic analysis chat
- Gives you a quick overview about a certain topic, concept or phenomenon in your empirical corpus without coding your data first.

- Use this as a first exploration and to familiarize yourself with the data.

From the AI Chat tab, click "New > New Code Analysis Chat". In the following window, select a code or a category you want to analyze, and choose between several analytic prompts:

- **Code summary** will give you an overview of the data associated with the selected code
- **Analyze unexpected** will look for the most interesting, unexpected insights in you coded data
- **Analyze unexpected** will look for the most interesting, unexpected insights in your coded data
- **Analyze differences** will examine whether there are significant differences between your empirical cases/documents with regard to the selected code.

Note that a code analysis will send **all the data collected under that code or category** to the AI, up to the maximum input length set for the AI model, which is about 100 pages of text in the case of GPT-4 turbo. At the time of this writing (Nov 2024), sending a 100-page text to GPT-4 turbo for analysis would cost you about 60 US cents. Your actual requests are likely to be much smaller and cheaper. However, keep the cost in mind when doing extensive code analysis with the AI.

Use this for testing and for brainstorming with the AI about theories, methodology, or what to cook for the next dinner with the research team. Note, however, that this chat has no access to your data and relies only on the internal knowledge of the language model.
