Dovetail indicates when AI has contributed to your analysis and content in the workspace. The orange magic shuriken icon will appear as a contributor on summaries, highlights, and any other content generated by AI. If a user edits a summary or accepts a highlight, their avatar will also be added, making it easy to see where human input was involved.
In projects, AI analysis is enabled by default, but Dovetail lets you control the level you want through our magic automation options. These are configured by managers and contributors per project, where you can choose from fully automated, helpful suggestions, or disable AI completely.
Dovetail’s tailored AI infrastructure means that your data won’t be used to train models for Dovetail or other customers—it’s fully secure. We select a model for the task at hand—whether that’s summarizing an insight or clustering highlights by theme. While ChatGPT enforces character limits, tailored infrastructure means that our AI features can handle whole transcripts and multiple highlights simultaneously.
Using Dovetail’s AI features ensures that all your customer data is in one place, so you don’t need to copy and paste data between tools and risk human error.
We understand research data can contain lots of personal and commercially sensitive information, and participants trust you to keep it safe. That’s why we are committed to keeping this data secure and confidential.
Unlike tools like ChatGPT—which may use your data to train their models—we use tailored processing infrastructure on AWS, meaning your data remains your own. We deploy all our models in the same place it’s already stored. The request is sent to the model, and the response is returned. Models aren’t learning from your data.
You can read more about our data handling practices in our MSA (see in particular section 4, section 6, and section 11), our privacy policy, data processing agreement, and Dovetail trust center.
Dovetail uses a variety of market-leading LLMs. No customer data is used to improve or train our model—all training occurs before the models are deployed. Our models are constantly updated and improved to ensure you get the best experience.
Depending on the task, Dovetail’s AI features use machine learning (ML) or a combination of both ML and generative AI.
ML powers Dovetail’s transcription process. It allows us to identify positive and negative sentiments in transcripts and identify and blur faces to protect your users’ privacy. It’s also used to identify and cluster highlights by theme in canvas.
We use generative AI to summarize notes and insights that make it easy for you to keep stakeholders up-to-date. We also use generative AI to label your themes in canvas.
AI is foundational to many of Dovetail’s core features, including transcription and sentiment analysis, which means deactivating it for specific workspaces is not possible at this time.
