Unmoderated Testing That Feels Human—Powered by AI

Most teams know user feedback is essential. But live research takes time. Finding people, scheduling calls, running sessions—it slows everything down. And when you're done, you still need to comb through hours of footage and notes.
That’s where unmoderated usability testing comes in. It’s faster. Participants give feedback on their own time. No meetings. No calendar chaos. But traditional unmoderated tools often feel impersonal. And they miss the human touch that makes live interviews so valuable.
So, what if your unmoderated tests didn’t feel cold or generic? What if they asked smarter follow-up questions—and actually learned from what users were doing?
That’s the problem Userology solves.
What is AI-Moderated Usability Testing?
Userology adds a layer of intelligence to unmoderated research. It’s not just a set of static tasks and questions. Instead, our AI moderator guides participants like a thoughtful interviewer would—asking context-aware follow-ups, responding to what users do, and digging into what matters.

We’ve trained it on 2,200+ hours of real research content so it knows how to probe deeper—without going off track.
With Userology, your usability tests become:
Faster to launch
Branded and human-feeling
Rich in insights, not just recordings
Let’s Break That Down
1. Setup in Minutes, Not Days
Most teams waste time building and rebuilding tests from scratch. With Userology, you get:
Reusable templates for different test types (tasks, prototypes, feedback loops)
Study duplication, so you can run variations quickly
One-click participant sourcing from a pool of 10M+ vetted users across 160+ countries (via User Interviews, Prolific, Respondent)
Or bring your own. Userology supports both panel and self-recruit paths.
2. Branded Participant Experience
Most unmoderated tools feel cold. Not ours.
Userology lets you personalize each study to reflect your brand:
Add a welcome video to greet participants
Use your logo, colors, and voice
Customize the AI’s tone, voice, even its avatar
This makes your tests more inviting—and helps users open up. It also gives non-research teams a simple, structured way to run quality studies without deep UX expertise.
3. The AI That Knows What to Ask
This is where Userology sets itself apart.
Our AI doesn’t just walk through a script. It listens to what users are doing and saying, and asks smart follow-up questions—just like a real moderator.

Example:
If a user hesitates or retries a task, the AI might ask: “You paused for a moment—was something unclear?”
It also tracks:
Task completion time
Success/failure rates
Abandonment
And auto-generates a usability score
You get both quantitative and qualitative data—without lifting a finger.
4. Built-In Analysis Tools
No more watching full sessions or digging through messy transcripts.
Uerology’s built-in analysis includes:
Auto-tagged transcripts
Pattern and sentiment detection
"Ask AI" to query transcripts like: “What pain points came up during onboarding?”
Highlight clip creation for quick sharing
Export everything—video, audio, notes, and summaries—easily.
Who This Is For
Userology is built for:
UX Designers who want to test more ideas, faster
Researchers who need quality data without running every session
PMs who want quick user feedback, not guesswork
Founders who need insights but can’t afford a full research team

Whether you're scaling your research or trying to democratize it, AI moderation lets your team move fast without sacrificing depth.
Final Word
Unmoderated usability testing shouldn’t mean shallow insights or a poor user experience. With Userology, it doesn’t.
Our AI moderator brings structure, curiosity, and analysis to every session. Your team gets richer feedback, in less time—while staying true to your brand.
If you’ve struggled to run quality research at scale, it’s time to try a better way.
