Overview

Research Studio is a UX research platform built around AI-automated analysis: drag-and-drop widgets handle persona extraction, Jobs to Be Done analysis, sentiment classification, user journey mapping, user stories generation, competitor analysis, and questions analysis, plus a personal AI assistant that answers direct questions about the research data.

The breadth of input formats and languages is what makes the automation genuinely useful rather than a novelty – supporting 8-plus formats across 99-plus languages means a researcher can feed in interview transcripts, survey exports, and support tickets from a genuinely global user base and get the same structured analysis widgets applied uniformly, rather than manually coding themes across languages by hand, which is normally one of the slowest parts of qualitative research at any scale.

Research Studio targets freelance UX designers, researchers, agencies, and students, with direct Notion export for getting findings into existing workflows. Individual/Freelancer pricing runs $12/month (3-day free trial), Business $15/user/month, Premium $24-$30/month with annual discounts, and a 60% student/teacher discount.
