Prompt-based Topic Generation — Take Full Control of What Gets Detected

Ever felt like automatic topic suggestions were close... but not quite what you had in mind? We've got your back!

Introducing Prompt-based Topic Generation — your new secret weapon for steering topic detection exactly where you need it to go. Whether you want to zoom in on very specific themes or just give our AI a nudge in the right direction, this feature lets you shape the outcome with precision.

Here’s how it works:

💬 Customize the prompt
Use your own instructions to guide topic generation. Want to extract pain points? Surface brand mentions? Focus on pricing concerns? Just tell the system what you’re after.

🧪 Test first, apply later
Use the Playground to run your prompt on a sample of your data — no impact on the rest of your project unless you decide to move forward. 

Once you’re happy with your new prompt, apply it to your Entire project — either by selectively adding the most relevant topics based on the full dataset, or by going all-in and regenerating your entire topic collection.

🎛️ Two flexible modes

  • Only: Stick strictly to your prompt. Perfect for laser-focused extractions.
  • Also: Combine your prompt with Caplena's standard suggestions. Ideal for a broader scan with added intent.

💡 Great for:

  • Analysts extracting specific business questions
  • Teams looking to compare known themes across projects
  • Power users wanting to refine noise-heavy data

Now available in your Topic Assistant — look for the "Prompt-based topic generation" toggle and start shaping your insights your way.
