Rival boosts confidence in AI-analysis, reimagines grid questions and enhances storytelling capabilities.

VANCOUVER – March 26, 2024 – Rival Technologies, the pioneer and market leader in conversational research, announced the launch of enhancements to the company’s revolutionary AI Summarizer, grid questions reimagined for mobile devices, and additional reporting capabilities.

 AI-Summarizer Amplified
The company has enhanced their revolutionary AI Insight Summaries to provide researchers with confidence in AI-driven output. The tool can now analyse exponentially more information faster and run more complex analysis of qualitative data and video open ends. In addition to an evolved algorithm, the system now generates a Confidence and Relevance score and provides access to source verbatims offering greater transparency and interpretably for AI generated insights.

Rival’s AI-Summarizer platform aligns well with our needs as we explore AI-assisted research. The inclusion of a Confidence Interval score adds a degree of trust and transparency, which has been helpful in enhancing our approach to AI-augmented analysis, reporting, and storytelling,” says James Henderson, Senior Research Director, Urban One Inc.

Conversational Grid questions
Traditional grid questions have not changed for decades. They are also cumbersome to design and deploy and do not work effectively on mobile. Optimized for mobile, Rival’s Conversational Grid Questions boosts participant engagement and enhance the quality of data collected by offering clear, visually appealing, and easy-to-navigate grid questions that are deployed in a conversational flow. A streamlined authoring experience also makes it easier and less time-consuming for researchers to design activities.

 “Grid questions are foundational to research,” says Jennifer Reid, Co-CEO and Chief Methodologist of the Rival Group, “but they were not designed for the way people think or communicate on mobile. Rival has retained the rigour, while reimagining how Grid questions are deployed on mobile so participants can provide more thoughtful responses” says Jennifer.

Enhancements to Rival’s powerful storytelling capabilities have streamlined the end-to-end process of creating reports that focus stakeholders on the data that matters.
