Our AI Chat now works better for larger studies ? Plus, lots of small UX improvements Check out the full overview in the video!

We added a back button... and it was a ton of work. It's important to me that Versive is the most participant-friendly AI survey. Surveys aren’t just tools to gather insights –?they’re also a reflection of a company’s brand. We wanted to make it easy for customers to go back, review, and edit previous answers without needing to start over. Sounds simple, right? Dealing with AI follow-up questions, survey logic, and the ability to resume studies made this a challenge. We wanted to allow participants to move freely between questions, even if they resumed the survey on a different device. We also wanted to ensure that answers were preserved when earlier responses were changed –?unless those changes impacted the survey logic or AI follow-ups. This is a big step in making our conversational surveys even more user-friendly.?Huge shoutout to Gerardo Valencia Rivero for bringing this to life! ??

Here's how I built, launched, and analyzed a customer discovery study in Versive before finishing my morning coffee ? ??? Designed and built a survey (20 mins) ?? Recruited targeted participants through our panel partnerships (20 mins) ??? Created shareable transcripts complete with audio clips (0 mins) ?? Generated a shareable report with takeaways and insights, complete with quotes and citations (1 mins)

?? Spotlighting another one of our most requested features. You can now set limits on AI follow-up questions in Versive, giving you more control over how AI interacts with respondents. This has been a frequent request from customers—and one I’ve personally wanted too. Great for keeping survey durations predictable while still allowing AI to ask probing questions when needed.

We often get asked for advice on how to recruit participants for recurring research. Here are a few strategies that work well: 1?? Recruit from your own users At Uber and Bread Financial, we did the bulk of our research this way. Identify the users you want to engage, grab a list of emails, and send your survey link to a portion of them. If you also want to conduct live interviews, Versive's conversational surveys allow you to embed a Calendly link for easy scheduling. 2?? Recruit from a panel Panels are fast but may be more expensive than using your own users. Conversational surveys offer a cost-effective way to gather insights from panels without the expense of live interviews. Versive enables you to recruit from several partner panels. 3?? Embed surveys into your product Embed surveys directly into your website or app, and present them to users at key moments—like after completing an action. This takes a bit more work to set up but allows you to continuously gather feedback at the perfect time.

We've improved the participant experience at Versive! Here’s a look at what’s new: ?? Participants can resume studies where they left off, even across devices. ?? Warnings appear if a participant’s microphone volume is too low. ?? Survey creators can now allow participants to respond with text, voice, or both.

How to conduct AI usability interviews with Versive ?? Simply create a study, upload your Figma prototype or external website, and send out your survey link. Then, sit back and watch the insights roll in. ? Get results in hours, not weeks ?? Scale your studies without extra effort ?? Get deeper insights with AI probing questions and voice responses ?? Act faster with AI synthesis and chat We've helped teams conduct and analyze thousands of usability tests and user interviews. Curious to see how Versive can work for you? Reach out for a demo.

Versive (YC W23) just launched AI-powered synthesis for user interviews. User research helps companies make better decisions, but it’s often slow and tedious. Researchers spend hours watching recordings, extracting quotes and themes, and creating reports. With Versive, they can simply upload interviews and immediately get shareable reports with key quotes, actionable takeaways, and a built-in AI copilot. The team (ex-Google and Uber) has already helped leading brands accelerate research with their AI-interviewer. However, they believe human-moderated interviews still play a critical role in capturing nuanced feedback and building empathy. That’s why they’re expanding their platform to support both human and AI-moderated research. Congrats to David Correa Orozco, Eric Li, and the Versive team on the launch! https://lnkd.in/gMK6eJUz
