Use cases & example prompts

Copy-paste prompts for exploring research, analyzing transcripts, and managing projects through your AI assistant, plus a walkthrough of what each one does.

Everything here works through natural conversation. Copy a prompt, paste it into your AI assistant, and adjust the project or participant names to match your own data. The prompts are grouped by what they do:

  • Explore: browse your data safely. Nothing changes.
  • Analyze: get AI-powered insights from your interviews. Still read-only.
  • Create: creates or edits projects. Updates your Strella data, so it isn't available to Viewers.
