NewAI interviews, now in private beta

Understand what your users want, and why.

8xResearch’s AI researcher interviews your users one-on-one, asks the follow-ups a survey never could, and turns hundreds of conversations into clear answers, in hours, not weeks.

The difference

A survey gives you the what. An interview gives you the why.

The “why” is the part you can’t get any other way, and it’s exactly what tells you why users churn, ignore a feature, or never upgrade.

Static surveys

  • Only asks what you already thought to ask
  • Open-text boxes get “it’s fine”, or skipped
  • Can’t follow up on a surprising answer
  • Misses the reason nobody put on the form

8xResearch interviews

  • Asks the questions you didn’t know to ask
  • A real conversation pulls far more out of people
  • Digs in: “where exactly did you get stuck?”
  • Surfaces the churn reason hiding off the form

Surveys still win for quick quant signal, that’s the in-app feedback pop-up. 8xResearch is for the depth a number can’t give you.

Why teams choose 8xResearch

The best teams don’t guess why users churn, ignore a feature, or never upgrade. They ask. We built 8xResearch so you can ask hundreds of users, one at a time, and have the answers by morning.
