Start with a question
Every study begins with what you're trying to find out, like “What gets people buying coffee locally, and what stops them?”. Everything you collect hangs off it.
Run a study around one question. Ask through surveys people answer in their own time, or talk it through in interviews, and see everything they told you in one place, with your interview notes turned into evidence automatically.
Every study begins with what you're trying to find out, like “What gets people buying coffee locally, and what stops them?”. Everything you collect hangs off it.
A survey is an interview people answer in their own time: open questions for the why, choices for the how many. Anyone who'd rather talk can sign up for a chat, and it becomes an interview with the same person.
Written answers and interview notes land in the same place, organised against your questions, so what people chose and why they chose it sit side by side.
Whether someone ticked a box, wrote a few sentences in a survey, or talked it through with you, it ends up in one place: counted together where there's something to count, and quoted in their own words where there isn't.
Written in a survey“If the Elm Street café opened before 7 on weekdays, I'd be there every morning.”
Said in an interview“I used to go every day, but the place near me stopped opening before 8.”
Each question is checked as you write it for common pitfalls: leading or vague wording, asking two things at once, leaning on memory or predictions, and choice lists with no “Other”. You'll also see roughly how long the survey takes.
At the end of a survey, people can ask to chat or to hear what you find out. Everyone who does becomes a participant you can follow up with.
Keep your notes exactly as you wrote them. AI reads them and pulls out what people said, each point linked to the prompt, survey answer or question it relates to.
See everything someone shared across a study: their survey answers, with what they said in interview right beside the answer it explains.
Send a survey to someone you've already spoken to, and their answers join their page instead of arriving anonymously.
Connect the AI assistant you already use, over MCP, to draft surveys with the same guidance and to ask questions across your studies, like “how often do people buy coffee, and why?”.
