How it works

From your question to evidence in days

Unity's AI business analysts handle the whole study, from setup to conversations, analysis and reporting, so your team can focus on acting on what you learn.

  1. 1

    Tell us your question

    Share what you need to understand, such as why users drop off, how a service feels, or what a device is like to use at home. We shape it into a study with you.

    A real conversation

    The analyst has a genuine back-and-forth with each person, following up on what they say rather than reading from a script. They can type, send a voice note, or simply talk.

    Hi, thanks for taking part. How do you usually take your medication?
    I use the app when I remember, but mornings are hectic
    That makes sense. What happens on the mornings you forget?
    The reminder goes off while I'm doing the school run and I swipe it away
    So the timing clashes with your routine. What would make mornings easier?

    We analyse every conversation

    The analyst brings every conversation together, drawing out the themes, how often each comes up, and the words participants actually used. Anonymised reports hide any group of fewer than five people so no one can be identified.

Studies over several days

Participants can stop and return over up to a week, which suits diary-style studies.

Privacy built in

Anonymised reports hide any group with fewer than five people, so no one can be identified.

Checked before launch

Quality checks confirm your study will collect what your report needs before anyone is invited.
