What it does
Outset is a research platform that conducts AI-moderated interviews through text, voice and video. Researchers define the guide, recruit participants and let the moderator ask follow-up questions based on their responses. The platform synthesizes interviews into themes, transcripts, reports and highlight reels.
Teams can also analyze uploaded interviews and explore Digital Twins, simulated audiences grounded in interview data. Simulated responses should be labeled separately from findings obtained from real participants. Subscription scope, recruitment and expert support are tailored to the research team rather than sold at a single public rate.
