Discovery, letting the software's AI assistant Elle analyze highlights from multiple customer interviews and organize them into template sections. The feature supports three templates — affinity mapping for grouping related highlights into themes, customer journey maps, and opportunity solution trees — and is available to all Aha! Discovery Advanced customers, with a free 30-day trial offered. The update builds on existing export of interview clips, quotes and learnings to whiteboards, which are now embedded directly in research studies.", "body_md": "# Use AI to map interview insights on whiteboards\n\nBefore your next prioritization discussion, you return to a problem customers keep raising in interviews. How widespread is it? What did customers say about the impact? With today's update, you can examine evidence across customer interviews to better understand which problems need your attention.\n\nNow, you can ask Elle (the AI assistant in Aha! software) to analyze findings from multiple customer interviews and organize relevant highlights on a whiteboard in Aha! Discovery.\n\n## Compare customer needs from different angles\n\nYou could already [export interview highlights](https://www.aha.io/blog/analyze-customer-interview-highlights-on-a-whiteboard) (including clips, quotes, and learnings) to a whiteboard in [Aha! Discovery](https://www.aha.io/discovery/overview). Whiteboards are now embedded directly in research studies, giving you a convenient place to analyze the interviews associated with each study.\n\nWe also added a **Draft with Elle** option to whiteboard templates. Click this button, and Elle identifies relevant highlights from interviews in your study and organizes them into the appropriate sections on the template.\n\nChoose a template based on what you want to learn from your research:\n\n- **Identify common customer needs:** Use the new affinity mapping template to group related interview highlights into themes and distinguish recurring problems from individual requests.\n- **Understand the customer experience:** Use a customer journey map to examine what customers encounter at different stages of a workflow and where they experience difficulties.\n- **Explore opportunities:** Use an opportunity solution tree to organize customer needs and consider which opportunities might be most important to pursue.\n\nConsider which customer problem your team needs to understand better. You might have plenty of interview evidence already, but have not yet connected the findings across conversations. Use that research to help decide which problems to address next. [Whiteboards](https://support.aha.io/aha-discovery/support-articles/documents/whiteboards/visualize-interview-highlights-on-a-whiteboard~7548489866887263497) are available to all [Aha!
