Sensemaking often demands significant human effort to identify themes, summarize insights, and share findings with community partners. This ongoing project explores how AI can support and streamline the process—reducing time and labor while preserving quality and human agency. By integrating AI, researchers aim to enhance consistency across sensemakers, offer training support, and facilitate the sharing of best practices. The goal is to design a human-led, AI-assisted approach that makes qualitative analysis more accessible and scalable.
