"Really like that it's more scalable than ChatGPT by analyzing a lot of files at the same time. Love that all insights are very accurate and are supported by quotes from the raw transcript automatically"

Scalable across many files, but lacks structured processing
Search & archive
Central repository with semantic keyword search and AI Q&A

Medium — chat may hallucinate depending on prompt
Collaboration

Summary
Breyta is designed for rigorous, team-oriented qualitative research: structured findings, timestamped citations, and large-scale analysis of interviews and tests.
ChatGPT Projects are useful for individual exploration, summarisation, and flexible Q&A — but lack structure, traceability, and researcher-grade workflows.
