The User Research Round-Up: CW45

Idea to launch, writing recommendations, keeping research human, collabing with product analysts, make your research hard to ignore

The UXR Tools Bundle is designed to take the chaos out of research. Paid subscribers to The User Research Strategist get free premium access to four top platforms that make research actually run smoothly:

• User Interviews → 5 participant credits, no ghosting, no chasing

• Askable → 1 month of Industry Stream, recruitment on autopilot

• Lyssna → 6 months of quick-turn usability testing

• Condens → 6 months of a real repository (not 47 Google Docs)

That’s roughly $1,200 worth of tools, included in your £132/year subscription. The goal is simple: help you spend less time managing research, and more time doing it.

Perfect for:

• Researchers juggling too many projects and not enough structure

• Teams trying to build better workflows without buying 10 new licenses

• Anyone tired of messy transcripts, ghosted participants, or duct-taped tools

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get organized, this is it.

Using AI to go from Idea to Launch (Event) by Askable

I’m co-hosting this one with Askable, and it’s going to be a good one. We’re cutting past the buzzwords and talking about what it actually looks like to use AI in research and product development from the first spark of an idea all the way to launch. You’ll hear real examples, real tools, and a few lessons learned the hard way. The best part is, we’re not talking hypotheticals. These are teams who’ve shipped things with AI in the mix and have the scars (and wins) to prove it. If you’ve been trying to figure out where AI fits into your process without turning your work into a science experiment, this session will get you there.
