How much does AI analysis cost?
PlaytestCloud's AI analysis is included at no charge in all plans on all playtests, and does not cost additional Video Tokens to use. Some plans have limitations on report regenerations. Check with your customer success manager for details.
How does AI analysis work?
PlaytestCloud's AI analysis analyzes playtest video transcripts and survey responses to generate annotations, summaries and the playtest report: your "First Findings" designed to highlight where you might uncover crucial insights. Choose up to 6 research categories from a list of 13, add context about your game and share your research questions — and the AI shapes the analysis around all of that. Results show up alongside your playtest videos so insights and evidence stay connected.
What playtest data is used to generate the AI analysis?
The AI-Powered Analysis is based on the transcripts of the playtest videos and the survey responses from players (when PlaytestCloud's survey tool is used). If you choose to add a game description or research questions, that context is also shared with the AI to improve the accuracy of the analysis. No other information regarding the player, game studio, or game is shared with the AI, and no personal data is shared alongside the transcript and survey responses. All playtests within the same order will be analyzed together and separately.
We currently use OpenAI API and have not opted-in for playtest data to be used for training (OpenAI's data usage policy). No personal data of players or our customers is shared with OpenAI.
As the field of AI is rapidly developing, we are constantly evaluating new AI systems to improve AI-Powered Analysis. If we switch to another solution, we will ensure that similar guarantees on data use are in place.
What if something in the AI analysis doesn't seem right?
You can edit and customize all annotations directly, so you are never stuck with something that doesn't sound right. To make sure your insights are correct, all AI generated summaries and observations are individually linked to clips from each playtest that support the analysis.
Can I customize the analysis?
Absolutely! You can describe your game, pick up to 6 research categories from a list of 13 and add your research questions before the analysis runs. The AI uses all of that context to shape the report around your game and your research goals. Not happy with the result? Use "Regenerate Analysis" to update your settings and run it again. Some plans have limiations on regenerations. Check with your customer success manager for details.
