UI Research at Scale
Usability testing and UI research are essential for building products people love. But traditional methods — moderated lab studies, unmoderated task-based tools — each have limitations. AI-moderated interviews offer a powerful middle ground.
Setting Up Your UI Study
Step 1: Define Your Objectives Are you testing navigation, evaluating a new feature, or comparing design options? Clear objectives lead to better discussion guides.
Step 2: Write Your Discussion Guide Structure your guide around tasks and open-ended exploration. Let participants describe their experience in their own words.
Step 3: Screen Participants Define your target users and let our AI handle screening. You can target specific demographics, usage patterns, or experience levels.
Step 4: Run the Study Participants engage with your UI while the AI moderator probes their experience. The AI adapts follow-up questions based on what participants share.
Step 5: Analyze Results Receive automated analysis with categorized usability issues, severity ratings, and supporting participant quotes.
Best Practices
- Test early and often, not just before launch
- Include both task-based and exploratory questions
- Don't lead participants toward expected answers
- Use real prototypes when possible, wireframes when necessary
