Panel data is demographic, not motivational
Checking boxes tells you who your respondents are. It doesn't tell you why they'd buy, what they compared you to, or what stopped them last time. The strategic question always needs the why.
AI market research, at moderated-conversation depth.
Diaform is the AI agent behind your market research. You set the research questions, send the conversation link to your customers, prospects, or panel, and Diaform runs every 1:1, probes unmet needs and buying signals

Why market research rarely informs decisions in time
Agencies are slow and expensive
By the time a traditional market research engagement produces its final report, the product is already in review cycles and the campaign has been locked in. Insight arriving post-decision is decoration.
Most 'AI research tools' are just AI survey tools
If the AI isn't conducting the conversation, probing, adapting, following up, it's just a chatbot wrapping a Google Form. The data quality is the same.
AI market research in real time
The AI runs a jobs-to-be-done-style conversation with a target customer, capturing unmet needs, switching triggers, and price sensitivity as they come up.
Hedge & Trim
01
Probes for the why
Static forms accept vague answers. Diaform spots them and asks intelligent follow-up questions to uncover the root cause.
02
Dynamic & Adaptive
Real conversations can unfold in infinite, unpredictable directions — too many to map into a logic tree. Diaform doesn't build one; it just responds to each answer naturally, the way a person would.
03
Zero-Friction Launch
No login walls or scheduling links. Your audience starts instantly in their browser. No signup required. Works on any device.
What Diaform handles for your market research
You design the study and recruit the audience. Diaform conducts the conversation and organizes each completed response.
01
AI agent, not AI summarizer
The AI is the researcher. It conducts a structured conversation, probes vague answers, and adapts to what each participant actually says while preserving the full transcript.
02
Bring your audience, bring your context
Run research with your current customers, prospect list, free tier, beta, or a separately recruited panel. Upload product briefs and market context so the AI uses your vocabulary.
03
Voice AI for natural answers
Participants can speak, not type. Voice conversations unlock richer, more candid responses, especially for brand, positioning, and sensitive purchase-motivation questions.
04
Summaries, sentiment, and evidence
Every completed response includes per-question summaries, sentiment, answer confidence, optional notable quotes, and the original transcript. Use search and export for study-level analysis.
05
30+ languages, global research
Run market research in your customers' native languages. The AI matches tone and follow-up style; summaries come back in English for your global team.
06
Export-ready briefs
Filter and search completed responses in the dashboard or export them to CSV when your strategy team needs a study-level analysis or presentation.
How to get market insights with AI
A lightweight flow that fits into a normal product week.
- 01
Frame the research question
What do you need to know, demand, positioning, pricing, jobs-to-be-done, brand perception? Write the question and a few probes. The AI uses this as its guide.
- 02
Load the context
Upload product briefs, competitor notes, pricing, and any positioning documents. The AI references them mid-conversation to keep the conversation grounded.
- 03
Share the link with your audience
Email your customer list, post to a beta community, paste it in a panel recruitment tool, or drop it in-product. Every participant gets a private 1:1 session.
- 04
Review the completed responses
As sessions complete, review each structured response, summary, sentiment label, answer confidence, optional notable quote, and transcript. Export the dataset for further analysis.
Market research studies you can run in a week
Demand validation research
Before committing engineering or media spend, validate whether a segment has the problem, how acute it is, and what they're currently doing about it.
Pricing and willingness-to-pay
Run structured conversations against your pricing tiers. The AI probes reference points, decision gates, and objections, not just 'would you pay $X'.
Competitive and positioning research
Understand how your market describes your category, who they consider alternatives, and where your positioning actually lands.
Brand and category perception
Probe brand associations, recall, and category fit with open-ended prompts. The AI captures the language your market uses, the language your copy should match.
Buying journey and JTBD
Reconstruct the trigger, the consideration set, the decision, and the objections overcome. Jobs-to-be-done conversations at the scale of a survey.
New market / new segment exploration
Before entering a new vertical, run structured exploratory research with target customers. The AI probes pain points, alternatives, and buying behavior before you commit.
