## Overview
Evidano is an AI qualitative data analysis platform for researchers, academics and organizations, previously known as AILYZE. It covers the whole research cycle rather than analysis alone: teams can collect data with an AI avatar interviewer that runs semi-structured voice interviews, upload documents, spreadsheets, audio and video in over 100 languages, or pull comments and posts from sources such as YouTube, Reddit and X.

The analysis is methodology-led. You pick a named approach, such as reflexive thematic analysis, grounded theory, phenomenological analysis or content and framework methods, or write your own prompt, then apply an AI-suggested or your own codebook across the material. Results land in an insights hub with thematic, content, frequency and cross-segment analysis, interactive visualizations, custom reports and a chatbot that answers questions across the uploaded sources. Findings stay tied to clickable source quotes with AI explanations, which is the platform's main argument against tools that only summarize. Independent validations are published: Arizona State and Penn State researchers measured 96% coding accuracy across 371 transcripts, and the UN Evaluation Group measured 92% across 298 evaluation reports.

The main limitation is the cost structure rather than the capability. The free plan allows one theme and one question per project, and the avatar interviewer, transcription, translation and web data extraction are pay-as-you-go add-ons billed on top of any plan.

## Cons
- AI avatar interviewer and advanced transcription features require paid add-ons ($0.60/minute and $1.00/hour respectively), increasing costs for comprehensive research
- Free plan limited to 50 files per project for document analysis and 90,000 words for spreadsheet analysis, requiring project splitting for larger datasets
- Relatively new platform with less market adoption and established workflow integrations compared to legacy tools like NVivo and MAXQDA
