What it is

An AI research assistant for social media content.

MetaCode is built for coding social media discussion, comment threads, or discourse data for research — auto-coding posts with AI, validating that AI against your own human coders with real intercoder reliability statistics, and mapping the social network structure underneath it all.

It runs on your own machine. Bring a free Groq key or an Anthropic key, point it at your own CSV data, and MetaCode handles the coding pipeline, the reliability math, and the network analysis — so you can focus on what the data actually says.

Inside MetaCode

Everything a coding pipeline needs, in one place.

AI Auto-Coding
Apply your codebook to thousands of posts automatically, with a confidence score and a written reason for every code the AI assigns.
Human–AI Reliability
Cohen's Kappa, Krippendorff's Alpha, percent agreement, and confusion matrices — computed automatically once you've dual-coded a sample.
Custom Codebooks
Define your own coding dimensions and codes, plus AI fine-tuning notes on any code that the model reads but human coders never see.
Social Network Analysis
Real Python NetworkX under the hood — degree, betweenness, closeness and eigenvector centrality, community detection, not a JS approximation.
Smart CSV Import
Works with whatever columns your export already has. When the structure isn't obvious, AI reads the header and sample rows and maps it for you.
Multi-Provider & Key Rotation
Free Groq tier or Anthropic — configure more than one key and requests automatically retry on the next one if a limit is hit.
Survey Studio

Collect your own data with surveys you design.

A separate workspace for building surveys, publishing them as a link and collecting responses. Open-text answers can then go into MetaCode to be coded.

  • Design anything. A freeform canvas where every part, down to a single answer choice, can be moved, resized, rotated and restyled.
  • Logic with blocks. Snap together Scratch-style blocks: when leaving page → if answer is “no” → skip page. Variables, scores and formulas included.
  • Publish and collect. Preview on phone, tablet or desktop, share a link, and export responses as CSV or JSON.

How it works

From raw CSV to validated results.

01
Import your data
Posts, engagement metrics, or a relationship CSV — any column layout works.
02
Build a codebook
Define your dimensions and codes, with optional notes the AI reads for accuracy.
03
Code with AI & humans
Run AI auto-coding, then dual-code a sample yourself for comparison.
04
Validate & explore
Check reliability statistics, then map the network structure in your data.
