Run persona research that brings your audience to life
Persona Discovery Interviews
Go deep on goals, context, behaviors, and emotional drivers to understand who people are and why they act the way they do.
Needs & Motivation Mapping
Uncover what people are really trying to accomplish, what blocks them, and what “success” looks like in their words.
Decision Journey Interviews
Map triggers, evaluation criteria, and tradeoffs — including the moments that tip someone toward (or away from) your product.
Persona-Driven Concept Checks
Validate how different personas react to features, messaging, or experiences — and why preferences diverge.
The advantages of AI-moderation segmentation and persona research
Personas only work when they’re grounded in enough real conversations to reveal stable patterns.
AI moderation makes it practical to run deep interviews quickly, at scale, and with consistent probing that minimizes error and makes insights reliably comparable..
Fast synthesis turns raw stories into clear archetypes, and highlight reels make personas easy to socialize — so they become a shared language across teams, not a slide that collects dust.
