How does AI-driven UX research differ from traditional user research?
AI-driven UX research combines machine learning algorithms with traditional research methods to analyze user behavior at scale and speed. While traditional research relies heavily on manual analysis of smaller sample sizes, our AI tools can process thousands of user interactions simultaneously, identifying patterns and insights that would take weeks to uncover manually. However, we maintain human oversight to ensure strategic interpretation and contextual understanding of the data.
