***

## Getting Started

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is User Intuition?">
    User Intuition is an AI-powered customer intelligence platform that conducts natural voice interviews to uncover the "why" behind customer decisions. Our AI interviewer has deep conversations with your customers, and the platform synthesizes findings into actionable insights.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is User Intuition different from surveys?">
    Traditional surveys collect structured, quantitative data. User Intuition conducts actual conversations—asking follow-up questions, probing deeper on interesting responses, and adapting to each participant. This reveals motivations, emotions, and context that surveys miss.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need technical skills to use User Intuition?">
    No. Creating a study is as simple as having a conversation with Charles, our AI researcher. The only technical requirement is implementing the widget if you want to embed it in your app (and even that's just copying provided code).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long does it take to set up a study?">
    Most users complete setup in 10-15 minutes. You'll work with Charles to customize your research plan, configure your interviewer, and launch.

## Studies and Interviews

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What types of research can I do with User Intuition?">
    User Intuition supports Win/Loss Analysis, Churn Analysis, NPS/CSAT Deep-Dives, Customer Onboarding research, Brand Health tracking, and fully custom research designs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long are the interviews?">
    Most interviews run 10-20 minutes, depending on your research plan. You can adjust the depth and number of topics to control interview length.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I edit my study after launching?">
    Yes, but we recommend against making changes after participants have completed interviews. Changing methodology mid-study compromises data comparability.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if a participant drops off mid-interview?">
    Partial responses are recorded and marked accordingly. You'll have access to whatever portion of the conversation was completed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I run multiple studies at once?">
    Yes. You can have multiple active studies running simultaneously. Each study has its own dashboard.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Participants and Recruiting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I interview my own customers?">
    Yes—and we recommend it. User Intuition is designed for interviewing your actual customers, which produces more relevant and actionable insights than panel participants.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I don't have customer email addresses?">
    You have several options: use our research panel of 4M+ participants, share a study link on social media or your website, or embed the widget in your app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does the research panel work?">
    Our panel includes over 4 million verified participants across diverse demographics. You specify how many responses you need, and we recruit qualified participants.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I offer incentives to participants?">
    Yes. You can set a reward amount (between $5 and $250) per completed interview during study setup or from the dashboard **Actions** menu. Rewards are sent as digital gift cards and debited from your wallet. You need a [payment method on file](/essentials/billing-and-credits#payment-methods) to send rewards.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I improve response rates?">
    Send personalized invitations, set clear time expectations, mention any incentives, send reminders to non-responders, and time invitations appropriately.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## AI Interviewer

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Who are Elliot and Clara?">
    Elliot and Clara are our AI interviewer voices. Elliot is a male voice with an American accent, known for a soothing, friendly tone. Clara is a female voice with an American accent, known for a calming, professional demeanor.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does the AI know what to ask?">
    The AI follows your research plan but adapts dynamically to each conversation. It uses laddering techniques to probe deeper when participants say something interesting, much like a skilled human interviewer would.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can participants tell they're talking to an AI?">
    Participants are informed they're speaking with an AI moderator. However, our conversational quality is so natural that many participants report feeling like a genuine conversation—leading to our 98% participant satisfaction rate.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What languages are supported?">
    English is the default. You can also configure interviews in other languages — including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and more — via the study's voice settings. Screener questions are translated automatically when you set a non-English language. If you need a language that isn't currently selectable, contact our team.
  </Accordion>
