Discourse Analyzer Advanced gives you two powerful ways to work: Free Mode and Tool Mode. Each approach fits a different style of analysis, so you can choose what suits you best.
Free Mode: Ask Anything, Get Flexible Answers #
In Free Mode, you do not need to pick a specific tool. Just leave the tool selector set to “–Choose a Tool–” and type your question or analysis task into the box. The AI will decide how to handle your request using the model you selected. Free Mode is great when you want maximum freedom, have a complicated or unusual question, or just want to see how the AI interprets your prompt. Think of it as an open space where you can explore discourse or linguistics without restrictions.
Tool Mode: Focused and Targeted Analysis #
Tool Mode gives you more precision. Here, you choose a tool from the dropdown menu, and each tool is designed for a specific kind of analysis. For example, you can pick tools for finding main themes, mapping arguments, or analyzing images. When you use Tool Mode, your prompt becomes your instruction manual for the AI. You can guide the analysis to focus on certain aspects, use a preferred method, or combine different approaches. This helps you get the most relevant and actionable results.
There are tools for almost every research need. You can try topic modeling, structure analysis, critical discourse, genre comparison, visual analysis, and more. If you are not sure which tool fits your question, try a few and see what kind of insight each one gives you.
The Bottom Line #
Free Mode is your space to ask anything and let the AI figure out the best approach. Tool Mode is your toolbox. Pick what you need, give clear instructions, and get focused results. Switch between them whenever your project requires it, and you’ll always have the right tool for the job.
