AI-Powered Analysis

Polaris deploys state-of-the-art AI to transform conversations into insights.

From transcription to thematic analysis, we listen and learn at a depth and scale never before possible. We believe AI, used thoughtfully, doesn't replace human connection — it creates space for more of it.

Conversations

Question Design

Craft targeted questions about school climate, curriculum, belonging, pedagogy, and more — from curated question sets, AI-assisted creation, or built entirely from scratch.

Students & Adults Respond

Participants share through group empathy interviews, one-on-one conversations, or text — in their native language, in whatever format feels natural. Sessions run 20–60 minutes.

Game-Based Activities

Students choose images, sketch ideas, and participate through interactive prompts — turning reflection into something hands-on and engaging.

Post-Recording

Transcription

Voice recordings are converted into precise, timestamped text — preserving every nuance of the conversation.

Translation

Multilingual conversations are translated into the school’s primary language while preserving meaning and tone.

Red Flag Monitoring

Harmful or urgent content is identified and escalated to stakeholders in real time.

Data Clean-Up

Filler words, false starts, and non-responses are intelligently filtered to produce clean, analysis-ready transcripts.

Analysis

PII Removal

Names, locations, and personal identifiers are automatically redacted to protect every participant.

Content Analysis

Responses are organized by individual speaker turns, emerging topics, and thematic patterns across the full data set.

Identify Themes

Key concepts and patterns surface through agentic processing, enabling deep thematic analysis at scale.

Reporting

Research Connection

Findings are mapped to published educational research and evidence-based practices, grounding every insight in scholarship.

Listening Report

A comprehensive report surfaces key themes, actionable next steps, and strategic recommendations — every insight linked directly to real student audio.

Search
