Tired of jumping between views to narrow down your data? We’ve revamped and unified filters across the entire Caplena platform—so filtering is now smoother, smarter, and more consistent than ever:

🧩 Filter by Topics & Categories

Pinpoint themes or topic sets right within your reports—no need to switch between Topics and Reports view.

🔢 New Smart Numbers Filter

Need to look at scores, ratings, or counts? Our smart numeric filter lets you quickly slice data by exact values or ranges.

📅 Two Great Date Range Filters

  • Static Range (e.g. Jan 1–Mar 31, 2025)
  • Rolling Range (e.g. Last 7 days, Last quarter) Perfect for trend analysis without manual date entry.

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.
