My light was green. I am sure of it.

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 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.
Signal at Alder and Fifth was flashing red on arrival.
The camera turns to the traffic signal, which is flashing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Add sources to Alder Street collision
Sample files. Press a card to add it, or keep scrolling.
Analyze key themes
Which driver had the green light is disputed
The police report puts the crash at 21:41
Extract action items
Request the signal timing records from the city
Get the full body cam file from Unit 12
Review decisions
The sedan driver accepts the diagram in the police report
The repair estimate is not contested
Find open questions
Was the pickup signalling a left turn?
How fast was the sedan travelling?
Summarize speakers
The driver of the sedan says the light was green
The witness saw the pickup already in the intersection
Analyze sentiment
The 911 caller is calm and precise
The driver of the sedan turns defensive about speed
Build a timeline
21:41, the 911 call reports the crash
21:47, the body cam overlay shows the officer arriving
22:15, the police report records both statements
List the exhibits mentioned
Exhibit 3, the intersection diagram
Exhibit 7, the repair estimate
Where do the accounts of the traffic light differ?
The driver of the sedan says the light was green
The police report records the signal as flashing red
The body cam shows the signal flashing
The witness says the pickup was already in the intersection

Your workspaces
Sample workspaces. Each one has its own icon and color.
Work that spans many files
Three kinds of project where the answer is spread across recordings and the documents around them.
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
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
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
Editor or workspace
AI analysis in the editor works on the transcript you have open. A workspace is for questions that span many files.
| What matters | An AI workspace | AI analysis in the editor |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | Every source in the workspace, together | The transcript you have open |
| Sources | Transcripts, PDFs, Word, text and Markdown files | One recording's transcript |
| Answers | Cited to the moment or the page, one click to open | Shown beside the transcript they came from |
| Follow-up questions | A saved conversation you can return to | One prompt, one result |
| Made for | A project, a case or a study | A single recording |
| Moving between them | Opens with the recording and its summary already there | Choose Continue in Workspace on an AI summary |

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.
