The problem it solves

After every round of user interviews you're stuck listening back to recordings, taking notes, and trying to pull out the patterns that matter. It takes hours you could spend acting on what you learned instead. Important quotes and pain points get lost in a pile of audio files nobody has time to fully review.

Who it fits

A product manager, researcher, or founder who runs user interviews and needs the insights organized quickly.

How it works

  1. You upload interview recordings to Google Drive
  2. AI transcribes each recording automatically
  3. AI reads the transcript and summarizes personas, needs, and pain points
  4. The summary is added as a new row in Google Sheets
What you get

Themes and pain points organized right after each interview

You get every user interview transcribed and summarized into personas, needs, and pain points automatically.

What you get

A Google Sheet with each interview's persona, user needs, pain points, and feature requests.

What you need

An OpenAI account, a Google Drive account, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
