Buyer API Fail Detection

Description: This API checks for the Open-Ended (OE) survey responses to ensure data quality. It performs language comparison, AI-generated answer detection, exclusion list checks, and response deduplication. Implement the API endpoint after every open-ended question into your survey.

  • Language Mismatch: Compares the language of the OE answer with the survey language determined from the transaction ID.

  • AI Detection: Detects patterns to flag if the answer is AI-generated content.

  • Excluded text: Flags any unacceptable responses such as jibberish, curse words, etc.

  • PureText Deduplication: Ensures the answer's uniqueness through deduplication.

PureText should only be used:

  • For expected responses with at least one meaningful sentence (not categorical responses such as brand names, people and place names, slang, etc)

  • Expected responses are in the same language as survey language (For example, if the survey is in French, response should be only in French)
