Meet your first project

A project is its own database where you can dive deep into a specific topic or area of interest and transform your data into insights. In this lesson, you will learn how to create a project, what you can use projects for as well as setting up automation for transcribing, summarizing, and analyzing data in your first project.

Projects are a space for you to thoroughly analyze data-rich sources like customer interviews, usability tests, sales calls, or surveys to draw very detailed insights.

Projects can also house existing research, so it's always on hand and able to be referenced by your team.

• To create a project, navigate to + New and select Project.

• From there, you can start from one of our templates or from a blank project. We recommend that you start from our Customer interviews template as it contains a simple starting set of tags that you can work with.

When creating a new project, Dovetail's magic automation is turned on by default. This means that Dovetail's magic features will do the work in transcribing any video or audio files upon import, automatically generate summaries of your customer data, and surface notable quotes for you to accept or reject.

You can decide how much AI you want working with your data in your project's settings.
