Building transparent AI tools for UX research

Do you remember those transparent science toys where you can see how all the inner mechanisms work? I want researchers to have that, but for AI tools.

That’s why Vitorio Miliano and I built our own AI moderation tool for my upcoming workshop (AI for UX Researchers, from Rosenfeld Media).

Our workshop tools are designed to give you a transparent view inside the black box of commercial research tools. With our new tool, you get direct access to the prompts that guide the AI moderator, so you can see for yourself how changes impact your results.

Is this going to teach you the entire pipeline used in commercial tools like Listen Labs or Userology? No, but it’s going to help you understand the limitations of the LLM part of the equation. And that lets you form more intelligent assessments of what AI moderators can and can’t do, and when to use them.

If you just want to learn how to operate commercial AI tools and crank out more research deliverables faster, you don’t need my workshop.

But if you want to understand how AI research tools work under the hood–and how to become an authority when choosing between AI and human methods–then you should join us for our next workshop.
