Repositories run on manual tagging. Customer intelligence runs on AI.

Aurelius handles the core research workflow well. Affinity mapping, automated reports, AI summaries, and unlimited projects make it a genuinely useful repository for teams running project-based qualitative research.

But a repository is only as good as its tags. Every insight depends on someone capturing, tagging, and filing the data first—and as feedback volume grows, that becomes the bottleneck. Tag hygiene drifts as typos and casing split the same theme across duplicates. Support tickets, sales calls, and NPS verbatims never make it into a project at all.

Dovetail removes that ceiling. Feedback flows in continuously from every channel, AI detects themes without manual tagging, and semantic search finds answers across everything—not just what someone remembered to file.

Feedback arrives without filing

Connect Salesforce, Gong, Zendesk, Intercom, Zoom, and Qualtrics so customer signals flow in continuously—no manual upload or Zapier glue required.

Themes surface without manual tagging

Dovetail’s AI analyzes new feedback as it lands, detecting patterns and shifts without waiting for someone to tag and organize it first.

Answers come with citations

Generate PRDs, voice-of-customer reports, and other AI Docs with citations that trace every claim back to the source evidence.

AI Agents keep watch for you

Set agents to monitor feedback channels and trigger actions when something changes, so emerging issues reach the right team automatically.

Search understands meaning, not just keywords

Semantic search finds relevant evidence even when nobody used the same words—or the same tags—and it’s included on every plan.

Security reviews don’t stall procurement

Dovetail’s SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance is publicly documented, so security teams get the answers they need quickly.

How Dovetail compares to Aurelius

Both tools handle the core research workflow—transcription, tagging, analysis, and reporting. The bigger difference is what happens beyond the project. Aurelius organizes the research you’ve tagged. Dovetail continuously analyzes feedback from every channel and turns it into customer intelligence your whole organization can act on.
