AI Research Platform Use Cases for Market Research & Candidate Screening

· 2 min read

AI-powered research platforms like Agent Interviews aren't just a technical novelty; they offer practical solutions for gathering insights across a wide range of business functions. By enabling scalable, consistent, and in-depth qualitative research conversations, AI research agents open up possibilities beyond traditional research methods.

Let's look at some compelling use cases:

1. Product Feedback & User Research

This is a primary application. Instead of (or in addition to) surveys, use AI research agents to:

  • Gather detailed feedback on new features, prototypes, or existing products through qualitative research studies.
  • Understand usability issues by conducting research interviews asking users to describe their experience in their own words.
  • Explore user needs and pain points through open-ended conversational research prompts.
  • Conduct beta testing feedback sessions consistently and at scale through structured research interviews.

Example Research Focus: "Conduct qualitative research to gather detailed feedback on the usability and design of the new checkout page, focusing on pain points and suggestions for improvement."

2. Candidate Screening (Initial Rounds)

AI research agents can handle initial screening conversations, freeing up HR teams:

  • Conduct consistent screening research interviews with all applicants.
  • Assess basic qualifications and experience based on predefined research criteria.
  • Evaluate communication skills through the conversational research interaction.
  • Provide candidates with a flexible way to complete initial screenings on their own schedule.

Example Research Focus: "Screen candidates for the Junior Developer role by conducting research interviews about their programming language experience, relevant projects, and salary expectations."

3. Market Research
