What researchers are saying about NVivo AI Cloud
“I’m excited to see Lumivero enter the online GenAI-assisted qualitative analysis space with the release of NVivo AI Cloud. The platform harnesses the capabilities of LLMs in a clearly methods-driven way, offering a balance between automation and interpretation at each step of its pipeline. I will observe with great interest how applied, academic, government and commercial qualitative communities engage with NVivo AI Cloud—specifically how its capabilities contribute to methodological debates, and how its use reinforces and/or changes established analytic practices.”
“Most of the AI tools, they just put your information and get what you want and then present that information. But this one is like we are working, actively working with the system to review and get what you want and then present that information.”
“AURA welcomes AI in a very good way but keeps the tradition and keeps the human as a subject in the space.”
“I absolutely loved the way it set up the cases. That was brilliant, because that's the bane of our lives.”
AI-powered research you can defend
NVivo AI Cloud keeps you in control to trace every action or decision from the researcher to AI and back to the source.

Frequently asked questions
NVivo AI Cloud is Lumivero’s new AI-native, cloud-based solution for qualitative and mixed-methods research, with a built-in AI guide for setting up a research project. Powered by AURA (AI Unified Research Assistant), it helps researchers import, transcribe, summarize, code, and analyze first - and third-party sources. Every AI-assisted step includes a transparent audit trail, so researchers can review how results were generated and keep their findings defensible.
Yes. NVivo AI Cloud is AI-powered qualitative research software for qualitative and mixed-methods research. It supports researchers across project setup, source exploration, coding, analysis, and grounded AI-assisted inquiry in one cloud-based environment.
NVivo AI Cloud is built for academic social science researchers conducting qualitative or mixed-methods studies, including individual researchers, students, and academic teams working on projects that need to be defensible and grounded in rigorous methodology.
NVivo Desktop is Lumivero’s established, license-based qualitative data analysis software, installed on your computer, with AI Assistant available in the application. NVivo AI Cloud is a separate, cloud-based subscription product. Collaboration, transcription, paper search, and AI assistance are built into the solution rather than purchased as separate add-ons. Its AI assistance is woven through the research workflow, helping you set up, code, and analyze a project from the start.
General-purpose AI tools are not restricted to your research questions or your data and do not retain persistent memory of a researcher's codebook or project structure between sessions. NVivo AI Cloud works within your existing project, codes, memos, and analytical structure, and is designed specifically for qualitative and mixed-methods research.
AURA, our AI-powered Unified Research Assistant, is NVivo AI Cloud's agentic AI chat feature. It answers questions grounded in your project data, provides click-through citations back to source material, and can save answers as memos. Its Devil's Advocate mode is designed to surface disconfirming evidence or negative cases so you can challenge your interpretation, pressure test findings, and explore alternative explanations before reaching a conclusion.
No. Data uploaded from NVivo AI Cloud is not used to train OpenAI models. AI processing uses zero data retention after task completion, helping keep your research data private while you use AI-assisted features.
Every AI-generated theme, code, or insight links back to source data through a citation-linked coding trail. Every AI write action requires human approval before it becomes part of your project, and a full, exportable audit trail, including AI prompt inspection, is available so AI-assisted coding can be reviewed the same way manual coding is.
NVivo AI Cloud pricing varies based on the license and plan that best fits your needs, including options for students and other individual researchers. Explore NVivo pricing and start your AI-powered qualitative research today.
On October 6, NVivo AI Cloud will be automatically added to the accounts of current NVivo Desktop customers. You’ll receive an email with instructions for accessing it. If you have a MyLumivero account, you can also access NVivo AI Cloud through that portal. New individual customers seeking a single license can purchase NVivo AI Cloud starting October 6, 2026 from the Lumivero E-commerce shop.
NVivo AI Cloud is a web-based application with no desktop installation required. Access it from any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) with an active internet connection. You log in through MyLumivero using your institution or individual account. NVivo AI Cloud runs on Microsoft Azure for security, performance, and compliance. The platform supports project sharing and collaboration features, with each team member requiring their own NVivo AI Cloud license. Full real-time multi-user editing is planned for early 2027.
NVivo AI Cloud is hosted on Microsoft Azure across four global regions. During the closed beta, data is hosted in the European region. At launch on October 6, 2026, NVivo AI Cloud will also be available on Azure in the United States, Canada, Singapore, and Australia.
