User Research Skill (by Cookiy AI) is the world's first agentic AI user researcher that transforms months of user research into days. It acts as a dedicated AI User Researcher, conducting human-level interviews at 10x speed and 10x lower cost than traditional methods. The platform combines advanced conversational AI with proven qualitative research methodology, adapting follow-up questions in real time and picking up on emotional cues to generate insights that rival experienced human moderators.
Key features include autonomous AI-led interviews with real or synthetic participants, automated participant recruitment from a pool of 170M+ respondents, real-time analytics dashboard, automatic synthesis of findings into shareable deliverables, ready-to-share presentation slides with charts and metrics, interview clip generation with timestamps and tags, custom discussion guide creation, and export to CSV & PDF.
