Codex is a modern qualitative analysis workbench. Import sources, build a codebook, run AI-powered analysis — and let Claude help you find the patterns your data is hiding.
I never really felt like I belonged in that space — it was always clear that the rules were written by and for people who didn't look like me. When I started speaking up, things shifted. Not immediately, but gradually the dynamic changed.
My sense of identity had always been tied to place. Moving disrupted something fundamental — not just logistically but psychologically.
Everything you need
Codex covers the full qualitative workflow — data import, iterative coding, rich queries, and AI-powered synthesis.
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, Markdown, CSV — drag and drop into your workspace.
Whisper-powered transcription with automatic speaker-turn detection.
Paste any URL and Codex extracts clean, readable content automatically.
Import images; AI describes visual content and OCR surfaces embedded text.
Highlight any text, assign codes with color. Overlapping codes, hierarchies, and ⌘1–9 shortcuts.
Inductive, deductive, and hybrid approaches. AI suggests codes for selections or entire sources.
Visual sidebar stripes show coded regions at a glance. Coverage % per source.
Inline sticky notes, three memo types: project, source-linked, and code-linked.
Top-50 word frequency with stopword filtering and visual frequency bars.
Codes × Sources heatmap. See at a glance where themes concentrate.
Detect which code pairs appear together most — and in which sources.
Per-code vocabulary clouds and project-wide word clouds, size-weighted.
Ask natural-language questions about your data. Claude reads all sources, codes, and memos.
AI writes a methods section, findings, and abstract — academic-ready, codebook-informed.
Generate follow-up questions based on emerging codes. Thematic grouping with facilitator notes.
Compare two coders, calculate agreement ratios, and let AI mediate conflicts.
S3-backed project sync with 30-second polling and focus-triggered updates.
Trace how themes evolve across sources over time. Identify turning points.
Version history for your project. One click to restore any prior state.
JSON/CSV export. Shareable public read-only links — no login needed for collaborators.
