Introducing Iris

Research with a little help from agents

We heard you:

You want more control over your studies.

More flexibility in how you craft the parameters that will drive the research.

More precision in outputs with full control over the table of contents of your reports.

It means you work side by side with agents in an ongoing conversation: you tell them what to do, and they proactively suggest next steps and the best way forward.

1. Iris is a new type of project, not a new type of interview. Create a project (1) and simply choose Iris.

Why is it a new type of project and not simply another interview type? Because it's an ongoing conversation with the agents that help with research. A new way of running research.

Click on New Project

Make sure you enable Iris

2 . Specify who and what you want to research.

3 . The interface is conversational. The agents will be your 'partners' in this process.

Be clear in your directions.

You can change the way your agents will operate within Iris by clicking on the settings of the chat panel.

You can change the settings for how the agents behave.

And changing the tools they access.

Ultimately how autonomous you wish it to be.

4 . You will be driving towards creating a study with full control over the parameters that will govern that study.

You just elected to create a study and now you have full control over it.

5 . A study consists of interviews. Each interview is one credit. Another way of thinking about it is a study is made up of Synthetic Users. Each time you generate one Synthetic Users you spend one credit.

You have a number of interviews in your plan (unless you are enterprise with unlimited). That means that before spending your credits we ask you.

6 . Your interviews will run inside the study. Once they are done you are able to open the study (see below red circle with 1).

Interviews running (you can see the progress bar).

Note that the agent will be pro-active in asking you what next by suggesting pragmatic next steps (2) and you always have quick links to create reports or summaries.

You are able to then open your study or continue the conversation with the agents.

7 . If you ask for a report to be generated you will be able to control its table of contents.
