The work in front of you

Make audience evidence part of the weekly conversation.

Use the web app with your team, or run supported studies from a compatible AI assistant through MCP. Keep the next question close to the work.

  1. Depth interviews

    Turn support themes into discovery questions

    Explore the motivations behind recurring requests and complaints before deciding how to respond.

    Explore depth interviews
  2. Concept testing

    Compare ideas during planning

    Use concept testing to challenge competing approaches before design and engineering commit to one.

    Explore concept testing
  3. UX testing

    Review the first-use experience

    Investigate likely friction in onboarding and activation, then decide which changes deserve a live test.

Your next study

What should we learn before the next release?

Bring a real question. We’ll scope the audience, evidence and study together.

The audience

The customers most affected by the change

Ground the study in customer evidence relevant to this decision.

Bring to the conversation

Start with what you have

Release question

Product concepts

Customer and support evidence

From research to a decision

A research question the whole squad can act on

Keep the question, the evidence and the next action connected.

Ask

Does the proposed onboarding help a new customer reach their first useful result?

Examine

Review audience expectations against the steps in the experience. Look for uncertainty about what to do, why it matters and what happens next.

Act

Agree the next design change and the evidence you need from real usage after release.

In a market flooded with AI-generated noise, this was the first platform that genuinely earned our trust.

By grounding its models in research principles, behavioural science, and real customer data, it delivers insights that feel credible, transparent, and actionable.

It changed our perspective on what’s possible with AI in customer research.

A few useful answers

Before your first study.

Start with a clear audience, one decision and the evidence you already have. Sunzu supports the research workflow, while your team remains responsible for interpreting findings and validating important decisions.

The web app supports depth interviews, concept testing, UX testing and ad testing. Choose the study around the decision, from discovery and design to positioning and campaigns.

Sunzu creates audience characters grounded in customer evidence and enriched with a behavioural corpus. They are simulations. Use findings to explore directions and sharpen questions; lived experience, unexpected behaviour and consequential decisions still need research with real people.
