Multilingual AI-moderated consumer research

Understand consumers deeper, faster, and at larger scale.

Respondents answer structured questions and speak naturally in adaptive mobile interviews. MayAsks turns their responses into clear reports, transcripts, actionable insight, and follow-up Q&A from the discussions.

  • Voice-first AI interviews
  • Quant structure + qualitative depth
  • Reports in around 48 hours when setup moves fast
  • Example projects from n=30 to n=100

The problem

Most research still forces a compromise.

Surveys can measure what consumers do, but they often miss the reasons behind the answers. Traditional qualitative research gives depth, but usually with small samples, long lead times, and higher costs.

And once the report is delivered, teams often have new questions that require going back through transcripts manually or commissioning more work.

MayAsks closes that gap: structured enough to quantify patterns, adaptive enough to uncover why they happen, fast enough for live decisions, and interactive enough for clients to keep asking questions after delivery.

How it works

Structured where it matters. Adaptive where insight happens.

1

Recruit and qualify

Profile respondents through structured questions that can measure behavior, brand usage, attitudes, perceptions, category habits, stimulus reactions, or image dimensions.

2

Interview adaptively

Respondents speak into their phone while the AI moderator probes motivations, trade-offs, emotions, contradictions, and real-life context.

3

Use the insight

Receive reports, transcripts, outputs, and a client Q&A layer that answers follow-up questions from the full qualitative transcript base.

Can you tell me what made that brand feel more trustworthy?
I think it was the way people talked about results, not just the claim.
What kind of result would make you believe it?

Stimulus-ready

Show images or video, then probe the reaction.

MayAsks can expose respondents to concepts, packs, advertising, videos, claims, or product visuals and then dig into appeal, clarity, concerns, and suggested improvements.

Why MayAsks

More depth, more speed, more usable evidence.

Depth at scale

Larger qualitative-style samples than traditional qual, with probing that goes beyond surface-level answers.

Quant structure + qual depth

Structured questions quantify patterns, while AI-moderated probing explains the motivations behind them.

Voice-first mobile interviews

Respondents can speak naturally into their phone, leading to longer and more insightful responses.

Research in local languages

Respondents choose their preferred language at the start, then complete an adaptive voice or text interview in that language through a familiar mobile chat-style experience.

Fast enough for live decisions

With decisive guide approval, a complete project can be delivered in around 48 hours from setup to final report.

Interactive after delivery

Clients can ask follow-up questions from the transcript base and add selected Q&A back into the report.

The solution

One flexible research solution, configured around the question.

MayAsks can be adapted to many types of consumer questions, but the core idea stays the same: combine structured measurement with adaptive qualitative depth.

Projects can include category behavior, brand usage, attitudes, concept reactions, packaging or video stimuli, usage occasions, unmet needs, motivations, barriers, and emotional drivers.

Respondents first answer structured questions where useful. Then the AI interviewer probes the answers that matter most.
