Dcipher Analytics’ suite of tools have a wide range of use cases. Below are a few examples of how organizations in different fields and industries have increased their productivity using Dcipher Workflows, Dcipher Research Bots, and Dcipher Studio.

Dcipher Analytics’ Research Bots, built using the latest technologies in the areas of Natural Language Understanding and Generative AI, work like human researchers—but faster and on a larger scale. This has helped our users save time on research tasks and stay up to date on what is moving in fields relevant to them. Their research is also more informed, as the bots are able to process much larger amounts of texts and data than a human can do.

A research organization's team of researchers spent most of their workdays researching and analyzing information from various sources. The team sought to employ AI to enhance the efficiency and coverage of their work. To accelerate their research process, they asked Dcipher Research Bots to read the most recent news articles and reports in their areas of interest—and then engaged in conversations with the research bots to obtain the necessary insights and references. The researchers' efficiency increased by over 120%.

A key use of Dcipher Analytics’ toolbox is to get a comprehensive overview of a large set of text materials. This can for example be used to get an initial map of an area to guide further research. Using one of the content landscaping workflows, you will get an interactive report containing an AI-generated conceptual map of different topics in the input texts in the form of a “landscape” visualization, together with AI-generated summaries of the topics (with source references) and a set of charts showing their volumes and growth. The report can be used for quickly getting an overview of a field and to surface, and to guide further qualitative research of interesting topics. The content landscape often reveals “unknown unknowns”—relevant things that you did not know that you were looking for, that you might have missed if using other research methods.

An international research consultancy needed to get an overview of current developments in the field of knowledge automation on behalf of its clients. Its researchers leveraged Dcipher Analytics’ Insight Booster Toolkit, which combines content landscaping with a research bot. Using a content landscaping workflow to crunch various text data, including news and social media, the consultancy’s researchers could efficiently gain an overview of the knowledge automation field. The interactive report automatically generated through the workflow was shared with the consultancy’s clients. A Dcipher Research Bot, trained on the same data, was also delivered to the clients, who could chat with it to get answers to specific questions related to knowledge automation.

An EU agency aimed to map science, technology, and innovation within 20 areas in a third country. The objective was to identify collaboration opportunities between EU member states and the third country, as well as to understand the country's competitive position vis-a-vis Europe. The required information was scattered across various sources, such as academic journals, patent databases, startup funding databases, news sources, and government policy documents—making it challenging to analyze using manual approaches. With the help of Dcipher Analytics’ toolbox, the agency was able to translate the diverse input data into a comprehensive data report which was distributed to key stakeholders to inform decisions regarding science, technology, and innovation policies and strategies among EU member states.

Dcipher Analytics’ toolbox makes it easy to analyze online discussions of various topics. Typical use cases include understanding how a brand is seen by consumers, assessing sentiments related to current events and phenomena, and getting an in-depth understanding of attitudes and behaviors.

A large social media company sought to understand the impact of deplatforming events – the banning of certain hashtags and accounts – on their platform's community narratives. The enormous volume of posts rendered qualitative research methods impractical, while traditional quantitative content analysis methods failed to capture the rich nuances of the relevant discussions. The company utilized Dcipher Analytics's toolbox to analyze extensive volumes of social media posts in order to identify, quantify, and qualitatively describe narratives both before and after various deplatforming events. The analysis of how narratives had changed enabled the company to redesign their deplatforming policy to minimize adverse effects on community narratives.

An international organization working with overcoming vaccine hesitancy needed to better understand narratives around vaccination and vaccine hesitancy in several Asian and African countries. With social media platforms being important channels for conversations and dissemination of information as well as misinformation, it was important for the organization to understand what content was being shared there. However, the large volume, fragmented nature, and multiple languages of the relevant content made it difficult to analyze using traditional methods. Using the Dcipher Analytics toolbox, the organization was able to quickly map out narratives and themes around the issues of interest in news and social media. The analysis helped it design strategies for dealing with vaccine hesitancy around the world.

A European jewelry brand, looking for ways to make its marketing resonate better with its female consumers, decided to tap into insights from online conversations about beauty and wellbeing.

A European tourism organization wanted to understand what certain travel destinations look like in the eyes of their visitors. To get further than just relying on traditional surveys and focus groups, through which people’s answers tend to be influenced by the interview situation, the tourism organization utilized Dcipher Analytics’ workflows to map descriptions about the destinations that travelers are sharing in social media. This allowed the organization to cover various markets and languages, and to get an understanding of how travelers really see the places that they have visited. The results were used for destination development and marketing.
