AI Compute Logic Node

What Is AI Compute?

AI Compute is a logic node in Forsta Surveys that enables automatic classification of open-ended text using Microsoft’s Azure-hosted OpenAI integration. It supports up to 20 types of text analysis-including summarization, sentiment detection, translation, and more-based on participant responses. Results are available in crosstabs for real-time insight delivery.

Why Use AI Compute?

– Unlock deep insights from open-ended feedback with minimal manual effort.

– Detect emotions, grammar issues, outliers, or bias at scale.

– Translate responses into any language.

– Integrate directly into existing survey flows and reporting structures.

– Improve data accessibility and classification for large-scale surveys.

Available AI Prompts (20)

– summary: Generate concise overviews of the input text.

– topic: Identify main topic(s) from a predefined list.

– sentiment: Classify as Positive, Negative, Neutral, or Mixed.

– sentiment_score: Numeric rating from -5 (very negative) to 5 (very positive).

– pii: Detect personally identifiable information.

– invalid_text: Flag nonsensical or irrelevant content.

– outlier: Detect responses that are statistically unusual.

– translation: Translate while preserving tone and meaning.

– language_detection: Identify the language of the response.

– relevance: Determine how relevant a response is to the topic.

– emotion_detection: Identify and label expressed emotions.

– actionable_feedback: Detect useful suggestions or ideas.

– spelling_and_grammar: Flag writing issues.

– complexity: Measure readability and simplicity.

– objectivity: Detect bias or opinion-heavy statements.

– consistency: Ensure logical coherence with context.

– engagement: Gauge interest or participant involvement.

– originality: Flag novel or unique ideas.

– bias: Identify discriminatory or biased language.

Configuration in the Survey Editor

– Fields: Specify which response fields (e.g., q1, q5r1c2) to analyze.

– Prompts: Choose one or more of the 20 supported AI tasks.

– Target Language: When using translation, define the destination language (e.g., ‘french’).

– Topics: Override default topic detection with your own categories separated by commas.

Important: If settings are changed post-launch, you must restart the feed via Logic Debug for changes to apply.

Additional Considerations

Only the first 2,000 characters per response are sent due to OpenAI token limits.

– Editing response data does NOT trigger automatic re-analysis. Use Logic Debug to restart manually.

– Field changes (e.g., prompts or topics) post-launch also require a restart.

– Compatible with crosstab tools for visualization and filtering.

– Works well with any open-text question format.

Data Privacy & Security

– Only text responses and prompts are submitted to Azure OpenAI. No metadata or identifiers are shared.

– Responses are NOT shared with OpenAI or other customers.

– Data is NOT used for model training or commercial reuse.

– EU-based surveys use a Stockholm-region OpenAI instance. Others are routed to the nearest

available node.

Forsta’s Azure OpenAI usage follows strict compliance:

– Microsoft Azure is ISO/IEC 27017 certified

– Logs related to OpenAI activity are retained for 5 weeks (separate from survey data)
