Kahubi for education research

Mixed methods without the mixed-up toolchain

Education research is structurally mixed-methods: test scores and survey scales on one side, classroom observations and interviews on the other, APA 7 wrapped around all of it. Kahubi is one of the few workspaces where both halves — and the writing — live in the same project.

Free plan included. No credit card required.

Where Kahubi fits your work

Statistics

Classroom data, analyzed properly

Compare conditions, correlate scales, and check reliability on your CSVs — with the caveat that matters in education (students nested in classrooms) flagged when designs need more than a t-test.

Transcription

Interviews and observations as data

Classroom and interview audio transcribed with speaker labels on an EU endpoint, then coded with thematic or other frameworks — segments linked back to the transcript.

Surveys

Instruments with live collection

Design questionnaires, share a collection link with teachers or students, and analyze responses — including scale reliability — in the same project.

Systematic review

Literature reviews that hold up

Search, screen, and synthesize the education literature with the process documented — for dissertations, funded projects, and journal submissions.

Library chat

A field with answers attached

Ask your library where interventions worked, for whom, and how outcomes were measured — with citations to the actual studies.

Writing voice

APA writing in your voice

Drafts start from a style profile learned from your own texts, cite in APA 7 from your library, and compile to PDF or export to .docx for whatever the journal or committee wants.

AI chat

Chat with your library, not a generic chatbot

Kahubi answers from the papers, drafts, datasets, and transcripts you actually have. Type @ to pull any source into the conversation; the agent reads it, searches your library, and cites what it used.

  • @-mention papers, drafts, datasets, interviews, and files
  • Select text in any PDF to explain, summarize, or translate it
  • Agent searches OpenAlex and the web, and imports papers for you

Writing

Write accurate manuscripts, grounded in your sources

Draft in a clean editor and let the AI help — it writes in your voice, learned from your own publications, and every paragraph stays anchored to the papers, data, and notes you actually have, never invented. Read it as a formatted PDF, edit it like a Word document, or drop into LaTeX when you want fine control.

  • Writes in your voice: a style profile learned from your published work, not a generic chatbot register
  • Grounded in your library: the AI writes from your real papers and data, and cites what it used
  • One click to a compiled PDF, plus Word (.docx) export and full version history

What changes

  • Quantitative and qualitative strands of a mixed-methods study in one project
  • Consent-sensitive handling: EU transcription, no training on your content
  • APA 7 citations from a managed library with Zotero/Mendeley sync
  • Survey design, collection, and analysis without a second subscription
  • A free tier that covers a masters project

Common questions

Can Kahubi handle a mixed-methods dissertation?
That is its natural shape: survey and score data analyzed in the statistics flow, interviews transcribed and coded in the qualitative flow, and both written into the same draft with a documented methods trail for each strand.
What about student data and consent?
Uploaded data stays in your workspace and is not used to train models; audio is processed in the EU. De-identify per your ethics approval before upload - Kahubi’s role is to keep the subsequent handling documented and compliant.
Does it know education research methods?
The flows cover the field’s standard toolkit — group comparisons, scale reliability, thematic analysis, survey design — and the agent can discuss design choices (like nesting and clustering) with citations from your library rather than generic advice.
