A team of specialists with over 20 years of experience in developing services, software, and managing businesses at various levels, from startups to FAANG. The first version of CODIFAST, which we are currently releasing, was created to solve the task of coding large surveys on social media.

CODIFAST is an online service for accelerating response coding using modern language models (AI).

We speed up coding by assisting the user’s actions.

CODIFAST is designed as a recommendation service. It helps find similar responses and code them with minimal clicks. The meaning, naming, and content of codes are entirely defined by the user. We deliberately avoid auto-coding algorithms due to widespread user complaints about auto-coding.

The CODIFAST interface is designed to speed up actions and provide transparency on what happens with codes.

Only a browser and a CODIFAST account are needed. CODIFAST installs nothing on the local computer and operates as an internet service, allowing users to change their workspace as they wish.

Any PC, laptop, or tablet with a reasonably modern browser(Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer) will suffice. All processing occurs on CODIFAST’s servers, so there are no specific performance requirements for the user’s device.

The service utilizes modern AI elements: language models and algorithms to speed up data analysis and provide recommendations. All data processing is done exclusively on CODIFAST servers, with no third-party services involved, ensuring data remains within CODIFAST.

CODIFAST is specifically designed for coding a large number of short responses, making it ideal for social media surveys, phone surveys, or data collection forms where responses are typically brief.

Currently, CODIFAST works with Excel files as we are in the early demo stage. CODIFAST will soon support SPSS SAV, CSV, and TXT files, with export options to all formats, maintaining the original technical fields.

At launch, CODIFAST supports English, German, and Spanish.

CODIFAST works with data “as is.” Just provide a file in one of the supported formats, with each response in a new row.

CODIFAST retains a copy of the survey being processed and the language model to speed up operations.

CODIFAST uses best practices for data protection at all levels. When interacting with the service, we use the HTTPS protocol. Data is stored in secure storage from global leaders in cloud hosting. Data remains within CODIFAST as we use only our own algorithms and services for processing and display of data.

All data processed, stays within the service. CODIFAST exclusively uses its own algorithms and services.

We are developing a feature to allow users to utilize their own S3 service for data storage. This option will be available in corporate plans.

Currently, data is not reused in any way. In the future, we plan to use anonymized and aggregated data to refine language models, enhancing coding accuracy and speed with CODIFAST.

This feature is planned for future versions. Users will be able to share files for read-only or coding access.

We are preparing the option for deploying CODIFAST as a virtual appliance.

Due to the large language models CODIFAST uses, a dedicated server with 4 CPU cores is required. For surveys with over 5,000 responses or for simultaneous use by 15 or more users, a GPU will also be needed on the server.

Yes, we plan to include this option in future versions.
