UserTesting is the leading on-demand user research platform, enabling product teams to get feedback from their target customers within hours — rather than the days or weeks traditional user research requires. AI capabilities accelerate analysis of qualitative research data that was previously time-intensive to process.
Human Insight AI analyses video recordings of user research sessions — automatically transcribing audio, detecting emotional sentiment in facial expressions and voice, identifying key moments where participants hesitate or struggle, and generating summaries of findings. For research teams conducting many sessions, AI analysis replaces hours of manual video review.
EQ (Empathy and Quality) scoring uses AI to evaluate response quality and participant emotional engagement — identifying which participants provided the most useful insights and filtering lower-quality responses. This quality filtering improves the signal-to-noise ratio in user research datasets.
AI insights generation synthesises findings across multiple research sessions — identifying themes that appear across participants, surfacing surprising findings that differ from expectations, and generating narrative summaries of research outcomes. Research teams can share AI-generated synthesis reports with stakeholders without additional manual writing.
The contributor panel provides on-demand access to millions of pre-screened participants matching specific demographic and behavioural criteria — getting target customer feedback within hours of launching a study.
UserTesting AI runs as ml platform software built around text and video workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web.
