Run a usability study
before your next standup.
Real participants test your product while an AI moderator asks the follow-up questions you would. No scheduling. No notetaking. Describe what you want to learn — Candor handles recruitment, moderation, and transcription. You get insights, not logistics.
Every evaluation on Candor is completed by a real person. Not an LLM. Not a synthetic label. Human judgment.
You spend more time on ops than on research
Recruiting takes longer than the research
You spend days finding participants, screening them, scheduling sessions, sending reminders, handling no-shows. By the time you run the study the sprint has moved on.
Moderation is a bottleneck
You can only run as many sessions as you have moderators and hours in the day. Five sessions takes a full week when you account for scheduling, running, and debriefing. And your best moderator is also your busiest person.
Insight delivery is always late
By the time you've transcribed, coded, synthesized, and presented findings, the team has already shipped. Research becomes a retrospective exercise instead of a decision-making input.
From usability tests to discovery research
AI-moderated experience evaluation
Real participants go through an experience — browsing your product, interacting with a chatbot, completing a coach session, using a service — while an AI moderator asks questions, probes on what landed and what felt off, and adapts follow-ups in real time. You write the interview guide and the AI runs the session. Every session is transcribed with key moments annotated. Run 5 sessions overnight instead of across a week.

You have 3 design directions and need to know which one users prefer. Run pairwise comparisons with real users — they see two options side by side, pick a winner, and explain why. Get a ranked result with agreement metrics in hours, not days. Works for mockups, copy variants, icon options, anything visual or textual.
“Which of these two onboarding screens feels easier to get started with?”
Concept validation with open-ended feedback
Show real participants a prototype, landing page, or concept description and collect open-ended reactions. Free text responses with optional follow-up from the AI moderator if you want richer signal. Use it to validate a direction before investing engineering time.
“After looking at this page, what do you think this product does? What's clear and what's confusing?”
Discovery interviews — understand your user's world
Not every study starts with something to test. Sometimes you need to understand your user's context before you build anything. Run AI-moderated interviews where real participants talk through their daily routines, what tools they use, where they feel supported, and where the gaps are. The AI moderator adapts across sessions — by session 5 it's probing the themes that emerged in sessions 1-3, giving you the coverage of a week-long field study in a fraction of the time.

Setup time
Traditional tools require project creation, screener surveys, panel selection, and scheduling windows. Candor: one command, participants recruited automatically. Your study is live in minutes, not days.
Moderation
Traditional moderated research requires a live human moderator for every session. Candor's AI moderator runs sessions in parallel, 24/7, and never forgets to ask the follow-up question.
Time to insight
The traditional pipeline is sessions, transcription, coding, synthesis, report, presentation. Candor delivers transcripts with themes surfaced automatically. Your job starts at synthesis, not transcription.
A note on research rigor
We know UX researchers care deeply about methodology — so do we. Candor uses randomized presentation order to prevent position bias, counterbalanced pairwise comparisons, and attention checks to filter disengaged participants. Every study includes inter-rater agreement metrics so you can assess consensus at a glance. This isn't a survey tool with a nice UI — it's a research platform with proper methodology baked in.
