Review the Analysis
Storytel will instantly generate a new response based on the focus you have chosen.
Option 1: What feelings and emotions were expressed?
This option helps you identify the emotions conveyed in the response. It could highlight feelings like frustration, excitement, confusion, or contentment. It’s ideal for understanding the emotional tone of the conversation.

Use this option to evaluate what could be improved in the response. This helps to pinpoint areas where the conversation may have lacked clarity or effectiveness, providing suggestions for enhancement.
Option 4: What's really happening inside this person right now?
This choice encourages a deeper look into the psychological state of the speaker, helping you interpret what might be underlying their words — feelings, thoughts, or concerns that may not be immediately apparent.
Option 5: What's happening under the surface here?
This option focuses on uncovering the deeper context, such as external factors or personal experiences that may be influencing the response. It helps you understand more than just the surface-level conversation.
Ask a Follow-up Question
Click 'Ask a Follow-up Question'

Wait for the Prompt to Appear

Modify or Submit Your Question
You can edit the prompt or add more context before submitting your follow-up question.
Follow-up Question Example: Feature Limitation
Imagine you’ve just learned about the limitation of uploading large files to the platform, which can only support up to 10GB of data.
When you click the follow-up action, a detailed prompt is generated in the input bar:
“I have this follow-up question about this data:
[Full content of the original response explaining the 10GB file limitation].
Are there any workarounds or future updates planned to support larger files?”
This prompt allows you to expand the conversation by asking for additional insights or clarifications, helping you stay informed and make better decisions.
Follow-up Question Example: User Experience Feedback
Suppose you’ve received feedback on the user interface that suggests the sidebar navigation is confusing. The response you receive explains the current structure and user testing data.
After clicking the follow-up button, the prompt will look like this:
“I have this follow-up question about this data:
[Full content of the original response with user testing data].
