Methodology

AI-moderated communities

incAI moderates across all task types in over 30 languages, around the clock, so every participant receives a considered follow-up rather than being left unengaged.

About this methodology

Moderation at scale

Once your tasks have been set up, you brief incAI with your research objectives and provide any probes or lines of inquiry you want it to draw from. It then reads every response as it comes in, crafts a relevant qualitative probe and posts it on your behalf, in the participant's language, at the right moment.

This is not a replacement for expert human moderation. Human moderators bring interpretive judgement, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to follow an unexpected thread that no brief anticipated. But for large-scale studies, multi-market panels, or projects where speed is the priority, incAI's moderation ensures that every participant receives a considered follow-up rather than being left unengaged.

Researchers can review, adjust, and override at any point. The moderation is automated. The thinking remains yours.

Ideal use cases

Best for

AI-moderated communities fit studies where scale, speed, or limited moderation resource would otherwise leave participant responses without follow-up.

Large-scale qualitative studies

When you have hundreds of participants across a community and cannot resource full human moderation on every response, incAI ensures every participant is probed and every thread is followed.

Time-zone spanning panels

Participants in Australia, the UK, and the US may be posting at times when your team is not available. incAI keeps the conversation moving overnight so no response waits until morning for a follow-up.

Multi-market research at speed

Run the same community across five markets simultaneously, with incAI moderating in local languages and your team focusing on analysis rather than response management.

Lean-team studies

When a single researcher is running a community without support, incAI handles the moderation workload, freeing the researcher to focus on analysis, reporting, and client management.
