Build Better AI Through Research
  • Usability Testing for AI Assistants Evaluate real-world use of your AI tool—chatbots, agents, copilots—and identify usability friction, misalignment, or breakdowns in user expectations.
  • Prompt Flow Research Understand how users respond to different prompts and design variations. Identify which prompt flows lead to success, confusion, or dropout.
  • Diary Studies & Ethnographic Research Capture authentic interactions over time as users engage with your GenAI tool in their own environment. Ideal for tools with learning curves or open-ended tasks.
  • Real-Time Feedback with Dial Testing Use our proprietary Dial Tester to collect second-by-second sentiment data during GenAI experiences—perfect for scripted demos or product walkthroughs.
  • Quantitative Testing at Scale Combine qual and quant to validate hypotheses at scale. Use surveys, card sorts, and performance metrics to complement in-depth UX insights.
