Process

How it works

A simple 3-step flow that non-technical users can follow.

Step 01

Capture context

Collect organization, product, and research goals via an online form to seed the UX research plan.

Step 02

Generate and refine questions

AI creates research questions and method rationales, then refines them based on human feedback.

Step 03

Example

Example workflow

A realistic scenario showing time and outcome.

Scenario: A UX team plans a usability study for a new checkout flow. They submit context via the form, and within about 90 minutes the AI agent generates 14 questions, recommends 3 methods, and drafts an HTML report. After reviewer feedback, the questions are refined, the methods clarified, and a ready-to-share Google Doc is created. The final output is an approved UX Research Plan ready for stakeholder presentation.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about using the AI agent for UX research planning.

The AI agent automates core planning tasks: it captures context, generates questions, suggests methods with rationales, routes for human feedback, and formats the final plan. It preserves human oversight by requiring approvals before finalizing deliverables. The result is a structured, shareable UX Research Plan. All steps are designed to be auditable and reproducible, so teams can trace decisions back to goals and evidence.

Typical runs start with context capture and produce a draft plan within minutes to a couple of hours, depending on complexity and feedback loops. The system is designed to provide a complete first pass quickly, so reviewers can focus on substantive insights rather than formatting. If multiple stakeholders are involved, the approval step may add some minutes for review cycles. You can also pause or re-run to incorporate new goals or constraints.

Yes. The AI agent adapts questions and method suggestions based on goals, product context, and feedback. You can edit prompts, adjust the assumed research goals, and re-run the generation. Changes propagate through the plan, with updated rationales and revised method recommendations. This keeps the plan aligned with evolving priorities.

Data is stored in the form and document repositories used by your organization with standard access controls. The AI agent operates within those permissions, and sensitive content follows your existing privacy and security policies. Access is limited to the involved stakeholders, and audit trails are maintained for changes. You can revoke access or export data according to your data governance rules.

Yes. The AI agent creates and updates a Google Doc with the final plan and formats it as an HTML report for easy sharing. You can also export the content as a PDF or copy the plan into other documentation systems. The export workflow preserves structure, headings, and bullet lists for consistency. Deliverables stay in sync with the latest approved version.

Human feedback is invited through a designated approval step where researchers or designers review generated questions and method rationales. Feedback is used to refine wording and adjust recommendations before finalizing the plan. The system logs changes and preserves a clear history of decisions for audit and learning. This keeps the workflow collaborative without sacrificing speed.

Human review is strongly recommended and built into the workflow to maintain quality and accountability. The AI agent handles generation and formatting, but final approval and any significant edits occur through your team. This ensures the plan reflects real goals and stakeholder needs. If you want a fully automated pass, you can configure strict automation rules with guardrails.
