Sloppy open-end classification


You can access the Sloppy open-end classification tab on your Participants page to review AI-powered classifications of open-ended responses, grouped by result category, and take bulk actions on respondents within each group.

How it works

The feature uses a large language model to classify each participant’s open-ended responses into one of four categories:

Category of responsesSignalDescription
Carelessopen-end-carelessResponses that are overly brief, vague, or fail to address the question adequately
Copy-pastedopen-end-copy-pastedResponses that appear to be copied and pasted from other sources
Keyjammingopen-end-keyjammingResponses containing nonsensical or gibberish characters
Goodopen-end-goodResponses that are relevant and related to the survey question

Clicking the number of participants opens a modal where you can review each respondent’s response text, quality rating, and inclusion status, and exclude specific participants from your analysis as needed.

Detailed respondent view

You can also click Actions for all respondents to apply inclusion, exclusion, or reset quality assessment actions to all respondents in that category.
