To enable AI analysis on a free-form question, edit any assessment and navigate to the **Free-form** section. Then, toggle **Enable AI analysis**, so the green modal appears. ![CleanShot 2026-03-13 at 11.51.21@2x](https://help.coderbyte.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-03-13%20at%2011.51.21@2x.png?width=670&height=383&name=CleanShot%202026-03-13%20at%2011.51.21@2x.png) Once enabled, you can define how the AI should evaluate answers by entering a prompt in the AI analysis field. This prompt should describe the criteria the AI should use when reviewing each answer. For example, you can instruct the AI to evaluate answers based on qualities such as clarity, completeness, or relevance, or ask it to grade answers by assigning points when specific criteria are met. ### Free-form analysis responses Every candidate who completes an [Assessment](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/creating-your-first-code-screening-assessment?hsLang=en) will have a [report](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/understanding-the-candidate-report-and-plagiarism-issues?hsLang=en) that you can open from that Assessment's dashboard. ![](https://help.coderbyte.com/hs-fs/hubfs/report%20viewing%202-png.png?width=670&height=348&name=report%20viewing%202-png.png) If you have enabled *AI analysis* on free-form questions when editing your assessment and provided a prompt for evaluation, then you will see an automatically generated analysis of the candidate's free-form answer. For Video responses, the analysis is generated from the transcription of the candidate's recorded response. This is found under the section **Free-form** in the candidate's report. ![CleanShot 2026-03-13 at 11.34.07@2x-1](https://help.coderbyte.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-03-13%20at%2011.34.07@2x-1.png?width=670&height=384&name=CleanShot%202026-03-13%20at%2011.34.07@2x-1.png) - [Getting started](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Learn More](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#learn-more) - [Switching to Coderbyte](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#switching-to-coderbyte) - [Guides](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#guides) - [Screening](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/screening?hsLang=en) - [Assessments](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overview](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#overview) - [Code editor](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#code-editor) - [Reports and analytics](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#reports-and-analytics) - [Candidate Experience](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#candidate-experience) - [Settings and options](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/assessments?hsLang=en#settings-and-options) - [Interviews](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Settings and options](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#settings-and-options) - [Code editor](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#code-editor) - [Reports and analytics](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/interviews?hsLang=en#reports-and-analytics) - [Custom Library](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/custom-library?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Challenges & Projects](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/custom-library?hsLang=en#challenges-projects) - [Files](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/custom-library?hsLang=en#files) - [Account Management](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/account-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Users & Workspaces](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/account-management?hsLang=en#users-workspaces) - [Plan & Billing](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/account-management?hsLang=en#plan-billing) - [API & Integrations](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integration types](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations?hsLang=en#integration-types) - [Integration tutorials](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations?hsLang=en#integration-tutorials) [![coderbyte\_logo\_digital\_navy (1)](https://help.coderbyte.com/hs-fs/hubfs/coderbyte_logo_digital_navy%20(1).png?width=128&height=34&name=coderbyte_logo_digital_navy%20(1).png "coderbyte_logo_digital_navy (1)")](https://coderbyte.com) Coderbyte Help Center Copyright © 2025, Coderbyte
