AI-Powered Text Analysis Tool for Innovation Research
Study the market and scientific discourse. Identify opportunities and trends.
InfraNodus Features
Using this tool you can analyze any text — industry discourse, competitors' mission statements, customers' open survey responses — as a network, revealing the recurring patterns, the main topics, and gaps within.
Typical Workflow:
Import Google search or Google Scholar results for a query, GPT AI generated content, product descriptions, corporate mission statements, scientific research, your own own data from spreadsheets, plain text, or CSV / PDF files.
InfraNodus will show you the main topics and trends that tend to come up in your data. Using the AI, it'll reveal the high-level ideas in the current market discourse.
Reveal the gaps between different parts of the discourse that are normally hidden by all the noise. Discover what everyone else is missing.
Use the built-in GPT AI to study the discourse and develop a narrative that will lead to innovative market opportunities.
The advantage of InfraNodus is that it shows you the structural gaps in the discourse, which indicate market opportunities. No other tools offer this functionality.

How Text Network Analysis Works
Network analysis and graph visualization help you cope with the informational overload and make sense of data.
Here is how it works:
1. Add Any Text or Data
You can use this approach for any existing discourse: Google search or Google Scholar results for any query, company mission statements, scientific papers, news, open survey responses, etc.
Add any text manually or using one of our multiple import apps (we provide Google import, CSV / PDF upload, Amazon product search, Amazon customer reviews, and much more).
The text is converted into a concept map visualization where the words are the nodes and the co-occurrences are the connections between them, so you can see all your disjointed bits and pieces of data at once, as a big picture.
2. Get a Visual Overview
The network will then be generated from the text or data you added. The most influential words in the graph (nodes with the highest betweenness centrality) are shown bigger, while the words (nodes) that occur more often together are aligned into topical clusters and have distinct colors.
The graph will show you not only the main topics and the most influential terms, but also the relations between them, making it a much better visual summary tool than the traditional tagclouds.
You will also see high-level ideas: categories generated by GPT AI, so you can better understand the main threads in any discourse.
3. Generate Insight with Networks and AI
InfraNodus will identify the structural gaps in the network: parts of the graph that could be connected but are not.
It will propose you the different ways how you can bridge these gaps to produce insight and generate new ideas. You can use the built-in GPT AI to help generate ideas.
You can also export your data as a CSV file (with the InfraNodus insights) for further analysis or to use as a training data for your neural network applications.

About InfraNodus: Our Philosophy
Any market has a discourse. If we want to bring a truly innovative product to a market, we need to understand the existing discourse and to embed our message into this discourse in a way that would seem special, set us apart from everyone else, and make it interesting for potential customers. We also need to make sure that we stay at the leading edge of the current discourse in order to innovate and generate products and ideas that help us evolve. How do we do that?
InfraNodus' special sauce is applying social network analysis techniques to discourse analysis. Once you start seeing the words as people and their co-occurrences as the connections, you can build a network representation of ideas, which helps you see the most influential hubs and cliques — highly effective points of entry. Moreover, you can detect the existing blind spots and structural gaps: the ideas that should be connected but are not yet and develop a marketing message that would bridge those gaps.
The good news is that InfraNodus is not that popular yet, so not many people are using it. That's why using the tool you will get access to the knowledge and insights that most of your customers will not have. In fact, most of our users are consultants and strategists who work in niche areas from climate change to high-tech innovation and InfraNodus helps them understand the trends and the gaps in the market, making their work more effective and helping them generate innovative ideas.

Adaptive Market Discourse with InfraNodus
InfraNodus is specially designed to promote resilience in public discourse. Too often companies get stuck with a certain idea or a pattern of thinking. InfraNodus can be used as an antivirus against those recurrent patterns — biased ideas, mundane patterns, totalitarian thinking, propaganda, and narrow-mindedness — proposing a kind of thinking that is panarchic: spanning a range of states and modalities.
Using text network analysis, InfraNodus identifies the structure of the discourse through the measures of network modularity, distribution of influence, and narrative variability. It then uses its algorithms and AI to help you steer this structure toward a more adaptive and open state.
For example, if a market discourse is too biased toward a certain idea, InfraNodus will help diversify it. If the market discourse is too dispersed, InfraNodus will help make it more focused.
In plain terms, if InfraNodus was a conversational partner (which you can experience with the AI Chat App), it would support a conversation for some time, but then also switch the subject and go on a tangent towards a different topic. After some time, it will bring the conversation back to the central ideas, stay there for a while exploring the nuance, and then shift the subject to a new topic again.
To learn more about this approach, please, read an article on ecological thinking and cognitive variability.
Testimonials
InfraNodus is used by researchers, writers, marketing professionals and corporations. Here's what some of our supporters have to say:
Technical Support
Check out our support pages, so you can see how to create the new network graphs, how to read and interpret them, how to discover the hidden patterns in your data and share the results of your research.
1. How to Create a New Graph
The most basic way to create a new graph is to use the hashtags. Each hashtag is a node, their co-occurrence is the connection between them. You can also use normal text to build your text graphs automatically. More on Creating the Graphs
2. How to Read and Interpret Network Visualization
Studies have shown that diagrams and especially network representation of data makes you think more of connections in your data. You can identify the main elements as well as the relations between them and — most importantly — discover the gaps in your knowledge using the graphs. More on Reading the Graphs
3. Find the Right Excerpt in Text
Network graphs are great for non-linear reading. Look at the graph, find the part you like, click on the nodes, and you'll see the excerpt of your original data that contains this exact combination. More on Nonlinear Reading
4. How to Import Text and PDF files
You can import and visualize your text files or PDF documents. In order to do that, just upload the file and InfraNodus will do the rest. More on Visualizing PDFs
