A customer-led workflow

Customer research, from question to evidence

Run AI interviews and surveys, recruit and pay participants, record your own research calls, test ideas on synthetic personas, and get a report your team will read, next to every other customer conversation.

Every study, end to end.

BoB drafts the study. An AI interviewer runs it by video, by voice, or as a survey. Participants come from your customers or a research panel and get paid through Tremendous. The answers land as recordings, signals, and a report.

A real study report: an executive summary and themes backed by participant quotes.
A live video interview with Bea, the AI interviewer, with the recording status, timer, and call controls
Video interviews: participants talk with an AI interviewer on camera.
A survey question with an AI follow-up about the participant's previous answer
Surveys: the AI asks one follow-up when an answer is thin.
An audio interview in progress, with the interviewer's questions and the participant's answers as a transcript
Audio interviews: a voice conversation, saved as a transcript.
An interview saved as a recording, with an AI summary that cites timestamps
Recordings: every interview gets a summary that cites the moment it came from.

Put it to work.

01

AI interviews by video or voice

Participants open a link and talk with an AI interviewer. You set the questions, the time limit, the language, and how far it probes.

02

Surveys with AI follow-ups

Native surveys by email, link, or in-app. When an answer is vague, the AI asks one more question before moving on.

03

Recruiting and rewards

Invite your own customers, or recruit new people from Prolific, Respondent, User Interviews, CloudResearch Connect, or Dynata. Thank participants with gift cards through Tremendous.

04

Your own research calls

Record the interviews you run yourself. Each call gets a transcript, a summary, and signals, next to the AI-run interviews.

05

Synthetic personas

Test an idea against AI personas of your customers before you spend a participant's time.

06

Reports and signals

Every study ends in a report with themes and quotes. Every answer becomes a signal your whole team can search.

A practical place to start.

Run your first study: day 1
  1. Ask BoB for a draft

    Describe what you want to learn. BoB writes the questions, picks the audience, and saves a draft for you to review.

  2. Choose the format

    Pick a video interview, an audio interview, or a survey with AI follow-ups.

  3. Send it

    Email your customers, share a link, or send the study to a research panel.

Read the results: week 1
  1. Read the report

    Get an executive summary and themes backed by participant quotes, then save it to Knowledge.

  2. Open the recordings

    Open any interview as a recording with its transcript and the signals it produced.

  3. Pay participants

    Each participant who completes gets a reward through Tremendous.

Keep listening: month 1 and on
  1. Mix in your own calls

    Record live research calls so moderated and AI-run interviews land in the same place.

  2. Test with personas

    Run new ideas past synthetic personas before your next study.

  3. Act on the evidence

    Turn signals into projects and tickets, then tell the people who answered what you built.

Keep the workflow useful
  • Ask one thing per question, and let the AI handle the follow-ups.
  • Keep interviews short. Ten minutes gets more completes than thirty.
  • Recruit from a panel when you need people you don't know yet.
  • Read the quotes, not just the summary.
  • Tell participants what you built from their answers.

Keep exploring.
