## Overview

Round 3 extended the survey-map approach with conversations between cluster personas. Users can explore the themes visually or listen to contrasting viewpoints with synchronized transcripts.

## Process

OpenAI embeddings, silhouette-selected K-Means, and 3D t-SNE organize responses across 16 open-ended fields. Generated roundtable scripts connect cluster themes, while distinct synthesized voices, per-line audio, and transcript playback add an accessible narrative layer.

## Result

Published an interactive survey exploration with semantic maps and narrated roundtable dialogues. The dialogues are generated representations of survey themes, rather than recordings of respondents.
