Ask your SPSS file questions in a Claude chat
Connect Survey Coder to Claude, upload your .sav and ask for crosstabs by age, city, promoters or people who chose a brand. A tabulation engine computes the percentages, with their bases and significance tests; Claude explains them and builds the dashboard or the deck. No SPSS install. If the study has open-ended questions, you code them in the same conversation. Also available in ChatGPT.
What it looks like in a conversation
How this differs from uploading the .sav to the chat
The model does not compute the numbers
Claude asks Survey Coder for the table and receives percentages, bases and significance tests already computed by a tabulation engine. Its job is to explain them and draw the chart.
Every percentage comes with its base
Tables carry the base of each column and flag low bases, so a difference on a handful of cases is not read as a finding.
Cuts by the answer that matters
Beyond age, gender or city, you can cross by people who would buy, by promoters, or by those who chose a brand and those who did not. Up to four banners and twelve questions per request, with nothing saved.
SurveyCoder is now in ChatGPT
Work with your open-ended response coding projects from ChatGPT: check their status, explore results and get exports according to your permissions.
You need a SurveyCoder account and must authorize the connection. Coding uses credits under SurveyCoder’s terms, just as it does in the portal.
Connect and get started in ChatGPT
- Open the SurveyCoder listing by Insight Genius in ChatGPT using the installation link.
- Follow the listing’s installation and connection process. Sign in with your SurveyCoder account and review the permissions before authorizing access.
- In a conversation with SurveyCoder connected, ask for the status of a project you can access. If you do not have a project yet, create one and upload your data in the SurveyCoder portal.
Try it with an existing project
- “How is coding progressing on my satisfaction project?”
- “Show me the results for Q5 and the base used for the percentages.”
- “Export this project’s coded results to Excel.”
Advanced preparation remains limited to a pilot. Continue in the portal for Refine and tabulation. Available actions and exports depend on your permissions and the project’s status.
General MCP integration access is enabled by default for new organizations; this does not extend the advanced preparation pilot.
Why bring Survey Coder into Claude
Ask in plain language
“What needs my attention?”, “How is the satisfaction tracker going?”, “What are people saying in Q5?” No screens to navigate, no filters to build.
From .sav to plan in a minute
Claude analyzes the file and proposes which open ends to code, with which engine, which columns are “Other, specify” and how many credits it will cost. Adjust it by talking.
Results with their base
Frequencies are computed exactly like the dashboard — unique respondents over the question base — with sample verbatims per code.
Nothing runs without your yes
Importing, adding a question, generating or reorganizing the codebook, changing settings, resolving Refine and coding always show a summary and wait for your confirmation. If anything changed since the summary, it asks again.
Your team stays in charge
Reviewing the codebook, approving Refine suggestions and delivering to the client stays with the analyst. Claude saves you the back-and-forth, not the judgment.

What you can ask Claude or ChatGPT
Example requests. Anything on this list that changes your project, Claude summarizes first and waits for your confirmation. Exports are free.
Tables and crosstabs from your .sav
“I want crosstabs of my .sav by gender and city.” Without spending coding credits.
Cross by a key answer
“Compare people who would buy the product with those who would not, on Q8 and Q9.”
Query results by segment
“How does Q5 change by city? Show me example answers for each code.”
Dashboards, charts and summaries
“Using the results of Q5 by city, build a dashboard with charts and the three main findings.” Your assistant builds it from the results Survey Coder hands over.
Prepare your data before tabulating
“Group Q7_1 to Q7_8 as a single multiple-response question.”
Generate and review the codebook
“Generate the codebook for Q5 and show it to me before coding.” No coding credits.
Reorganize the codebook
“Move ‘High price’ to the Price category and create a ‘Customer service’ category.”
Resolve Refine in bulk
“Approve all of Q3's suggestions except the one about ‘Taste’.”
Add a question you left out
“Add Q12 from the file: it's a question with a follow-up probe.”
Exclude responses by a condition
“In Q7, leave out everyone who answered ‘Doesn't watch the news’ in Q2.”
Answer the brand portfolio question
“Of those brands, the first two belong to the client; the rest don't.”
Export your original file with the codes
“Export my original .sav with the codes as Excel, without the timing columns.”
Follow coding progress
“How is coding going? How much is left for each question?”
