AI Workspaces

Your recordings.
Your documents.
Ask them anything.

Put everything a project produces in one workspace, then ask. Every answer shows where it came from.

Add finished transcripts, whole folders, PDFs and Word files. Run one of six built-in analyses, or ask in your own words.

Included with Core, Advanced, Pro and Enterprise plans. Start with 30 free minutes.

The problem

The answer is never in a single file

A new case arrives as 11 depositions, a scanned police report, a 911 call, a witness call and over an hour of body cam video. The answer to one question sits in three different places.

By hand, that means listening to every recording and reading every page. In a workspace, you ask once, and each answer takes you to its source.

See it work

The case, in a workspace

Scroll to follow the case through four steps. The demo window is live, so pick any lettered point to see it.

Step 01 / 04 · Gather

Gather the whole case

A case is more than its depositions. Bring in the folder, the documents, and the recordings from the night it happened.

Step 02 / 04 · Ask

Ask across every file

One question reads every source in the workspace. Start from a built-in analysis, a prompt you have saved, or your own words.

Step 03 / 04 · Check

Check every answer

Each point carries a citation, and each citation is a link. One click takes you to the source, so nothing has to be taken on trust.

Step 04 / 04 · Keep

Keep it, then start the next

The conversation stays in the workspace, ready to pick up or to export. When the next case arrives, it gets a workspace of its own.

Who it's for

Work that spans many files

Three kinds of project where the answer is spread across recordings and the documents around them.

Researchers

A study you can question

Every interview in a study and the reports around them, read together.

  • Run key themes across every interview in the study
  • Follow a quote back to the second it was said
  • Add the survey report and ask what it confirms
Sonix for researchers
Legal teams

A matter in one place

Depositions, witness interviews and the documents that go with them.

  • Ask where two accounts of the same event differ
  • Open each cited passage and read it in context
  • Export the conversation to Word for the file
Sonix for legal teams
Journalists

Hours of tape, one conversation

Interviews, press conferences and the background documents for a story.

  • Find every time a source mentions a name
  • Pull the strongest quotes with their timestamps
  • Check a claim against the document it came from
Sonix for journalists
Which one to use

Editor or workspace

AI analysis in the editor works on the transcript you have open. A workspace is for questions that span many files.

Common questions

Questions people ask about AI Workspaces

What is an AI workspace?

A workspace is a place in Sonix that holds the transcripts and documents for one project. You ask questions in plain language and Sonix answers from all of those sources together, with a citation on each point. You can create as many workspaces as you have projects.

What can I add to a workspace?

Any finished transcript in your account, from audio or video, and whole folders of them at once. You can also add documents: PDF, Word (.docx), plain text and Markdown files. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR.

What can I ask?

Anything about the sources in the workspace. Six analyses are built in: key themes, action items, decisions, open questions, speakers and sentiment. The custom prompts you have starred are there too, and you can type any question of your own.

How do I check an answer?

Every point in an answer carries a citation. A citation on a recording opens the transcript at that second with the player cued to it. A citation on a document opens the document at the cited page.

How is a workspace different from AI analysis in the editor?

AI analysis in the editor works on the transcript you have open. A workspace reads every source you add to it, recordings and documents together, and keeps your questions as saved conversations.

Which plans include AI Workspaces?

Core, Advanced, Pro and Enterprise. Core includes 5 AI Workspace hours a month, Advanced 25 and Pro 100. Enterprise hours are set with your contract.

How are documents counted?

By length. Sonix counts 9,000 words of a document as one hour, so a 4,500-word report uses half an hour.

Is my data used to train AI?

No. None of the data processed through Sonix is used for training purposes. It is a standing policy on every plan.
