AI User Research Workflow

Design a user research plan. Product: [describe]. Research goal: [what decisions will this inform?]. Create: 3-5 specific research questions (not just "do they like it"), recommended method (interviews/surveys/usability testing) with justification, participant criteria and recruitment strategy, interview guide with 10 open-ended questions, and a discussion guide with follow-up probes for each question.

Synthesize these user research notes: [paste interview notes or survey responses]. Identify: recurring themes across participants, notable outlier responses and why they matter, user needs (stated and unstated), pain points ranked by severity and frequency, and behavioral patterns (what they do vs what they say). Use affinity mapping: group related findings into clusters.

Create user personas from this research data: [paste synthesized findings]. For each persona (create 2-3): name and photo description, demographics and context, goals and motivations, frustrations and pain points, current workflow/journey, a day-in-the-life scenario, and a quote that captures their mindset. Also create a journey map for the primary persona showing: stages, actions, emotions, pain points, and opportunities.

Create a user research findings presentation. Research: [paste key findings]. Audience: product team and leadership. Structure: research objectives recap, methodology, top 5 insights (each with: finding, evidence, implication for product), user personas summary, prioritized opportunity areas, and specific product recommendations. Make it scannable with clear "so what" for each finding.
