{"id":88025,"title":"Voicepanel: User research on autopilot","tagline":"AI agent that conducts user research for product teams","body":"**TL;DR: Voicepanel is an AI agent that automates user research end-to-end.** Given a simple prompt, Voicepanel conducts conversations with users and shares the learnings in Slack. Our platform enables product teams to continuously gather feedback, discovery usability issues, and test new product concepts without the overhead of traditional research methods.\n\n\u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dYtHN1TwuE\u003e\n\n### The problem\n\nAs shipping new products becomes easier, collecting quality user feedback is becoming a bottleneck to crafting successful products.\n\nFor decades companies have used basic surveys to keep a pulse on their users, but people are tired of them. The best product teams talk to their users regularly, but scheduling interviews for users to weigh in every product decision is an impossible task.\n\n### Our solution\n\nVoicepanel delivers detailed feedback from users over chat, voice, video, or screen share on a continuous or on-demand basis. No survey coding or interview scheduling is required: product teams tell Voicepanel their learning objectives and get back detailed responses \u0026 reports in Slack.\n\n### How does it work?\n\nVoicepanel requires setting up one or more intercepts:\n\n1. **Product embed** (currently web apps only; native mobile apps coming soon)\n2. **Link sharing** (e.g. by email when user reaches a key milestone)\n3. **Research panel** (based on unlimited custom screening \u0026 demographic criteria)\n\nFrom there, product teams simply state their learning objectives. Voicepanel automates the process of recruiting respondents, screening for quality, conducting conversations, distributing incentives, and sharing the responses in real-time.\n\n### **Who is it for?**\n\nProduct teams that lack dedicated resources for research.\n\n### **About us**\n\n[John](https://linkedin.com/in/john-provine) \u0026 [Asa](https://linkedin.com/in/asaschachar) met while working together at [Optimizely (W10)](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/optimizely), where they co-created the company’s developer-focused product. While they saw the power of analytics firsthand, they always felt there had to be a better way to uncover the ‘why’ behind the numbers. Before Voicepanel, Asa co-founded [Level (S21, acquired by Vouch)](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/level) and John led product teams at Google.\n\n### **Get in touch**\n\n* Book a demo at [voicepanel.com](http://voicepanel.com)\n* Try it out yourself!
