Outset is now a key tool for our team to get more, better, and most importantly, faster research done, accelerating our innovation pipeline substantially.
Michael Widenmeyer
Consumer Insights Senior Manager
The speed and quality of the responses were outstanding. Outset will afford my team the opportunity to significantly increase the speed of delivery.
Wil Readinger
Head of UX Research
Outset's AI engaged users and asked follow-up questions that elicited specific, long-form answers that helped us understand what was important to them. And it did so at 10x-20x scale of customer interviews.
Jeff Zimmerman
Chief Product Officer
Outset allows users to spend their time on what really matters, which is understanding the consumer and designing products, rather than on countless hours of interviewing and labeling.
Leo Velásquez
Senior Experiment Designer
Outset saved us over 120 hours of research on a single project while delivering high quality insights that cannot be achieved with a survey. This is the future of research.
Brynna Mann
Managing Director
Outset dramatically increases the productive potential of a single researcher, helping them uncover many more insights much more quickly.
Chris Monnier
Senior Staff User Researcher
I would have never been able to moderate 50 sessions in a reasonable amount of time, but with Outset, you can run 50 interviews while you’re on a 20-hour flight
