Strella
A customer-research platform where AI hosts voice and video interviews, listening in real time and automatically synthesizing interviewees' true thoughts
What is it
Strella is an AI-hosted customer-research platform that can conduct user interviews for teams automatically in conversational voice and video form. It doesn't just read questions by rote but, like a human researcher, follows up in real time and digs deep into interviewees' motivations, and provides a "live listening" feature during the interview so researchers can observe the conversation's direction alongside. After the interview, the system automatically synthesizes the verbatim content, organizing views scattered across multiple conversations into readable key points.
What problem it solves
The most time-consuming parts of traditional qualitative research are scheduling interviews, personally hosting them, and afterward listening to recordings and organizing notes. Strella automates these flows, letting one study reach more interviewees at once without sacrificing conversation depth. It suits product managers, user researchers, marketing, and startup teams needing to quickly validate ideas and understand users' true voices. For organizations with limited research manpower yet wanting to maintain interview quality, it offers a path to balance scale and depth. Overall, it pushes qualitative research from "doing a few at a time" to the magnitude of "launching many at once," while keeping the human touch and the flexibility to follow up, letting decisions be built on more sufficient firsthand information.
