  1. Grouped Words: The AI insights groups similar words and corrects any spelling or typographical errors to improve the readability and relevance of the cloud
  2. Key Themes: The AI insights identifies the main emerging themes from the contributions and visually highlights them using color codes.
  3. Sentiment: The AI insights evaluates the sentiment behind each contribution and visually represents it with distinct colors (positive, neutral, or negative).
