Improved AI Summary Insights

From bullet points to story-driven insights

Knit’s Summary Insights have always helped translate data into digestible bullet points on each slide. Now, we’ve upgraded how those insights are generated – applying a smarter, structured analysis to surface the most meaningful, story-forward findings.

Instead of simply quoting the highest numbers or most frequent responses, Knit’s AI now looks deeper:

• Applies structured analysis across dimensions like distribution, rankings, correlations, outliers, and subgroup contrasts
• Ranks findings based on how strongly they support (or challenge) the core intent of the survey question
• Builds cohesive, non-redundant insight statements that flow naturally from one to the next

AI-Generated Key Takeaways

Turn data-heavy decks into strategic summaries

Knit’s AI-generated summary slides help you synthesize your findings into clear, concise, and actionable takeaways – automatically. Each report includes 3–7 key takeaways, grounded in your actual data and fully editable to match your voice and context.

Now, we’re taking that a step further.

What’s new:

• Citations now appear for each takeaway, referencing the exact slide(s) where the supporting data lives
• Built-in logic shows how each insight was inferred, reinforcing Knit’s commitment to transparency
• Edits are still fully supported, and all generated content exports cleanly for stakeholder-ready delivery
