From Costly Complexity to Efficient Insights: Why UX Teams Are Switching To Voxpopme

Summary

Explore why UX teams are moving from you-know-who to Voxpopme. In this fireside chat, Andy Barraclough, Voxpopme's CEO will explain why his company is experiencing a flood of UX researchers looking for a more efficient, user-friendly UX research platform. During the talk, he will also give a walkthrough of Voxpopme’s core functionality -- screen recording, moderated interviews, respondent recruitment, and AI -- and provide a glimpse into its friendlier pricing model.

Key Insights

  • UX teams prioritize four core functions: screen recording, user conversations, sourcing participants, and strong analytics.

  • Many existing UX research platforms are overly complex and charge for unnecessary features, driving users to seek simpler, flexible options.

  • A recent merger of UX research giants has led to higher prices and stricter commercial terms, encouraging teams to switch providers.

  • AI accelerates qualitative video research by enabling analysis of hundreds to thousands of hours of data quickly and efficiently.

  • Generative AI can create discussion guides and screener questions based on research objectives, reducing setup time for studies.

  • Real-time, chat-based querying of a centralized insights repository allows researchers to quickly find past relevant user data and avoid duplicate research.

  • Providing video evidence alongside AI-generated summaries helps stakeholders connect better with research insights.

  • AI-moderated interviews are an emerging feature that combine the depth of moderated sessions with the scalability of unmoderated research.

  • Advanced AI vision capabilities are expected to enhance analysis by detecting user emotional cues and interaction moments in video.

  • Centralizing qualitative insights builds durable competitive advantages and shifts UX research from isolated projects toward continuous, shared knowledge.

Notable Quotes

"There’s a big merger in this space and two UX giants haven’t been behaving nicely, introducing higher prices and stricter commercial terms."

"UX research teams spend significant time manually analyzing interviews, limiting capacity to focus on higher-value tasks."

"Our AI tools help with speed and efficiency, and also help save money by reducing redundant research."

"With proper prompting, AI can get you really close to a deliverable summary, much closer than expected."

"You can chat with large sets of data in real time, not waiting hours or days for answers."

"Many customers struggle to get anyone to listen to actual insights because of the volume and complexity of raw video data."

"Anyone can do a basic AI summary with zero control, but we offer robust, evidence-backed, scalable chat analysis."

"Providing stakeholders with real user voices alongside insights is key to internalizing and acting on research."

"AI-moderated interviews will help drill down on depth without sacrificing scalability or requiring scheduling moderators."

"How do you build in the context of what you specifically need rather than having tools drive the research process? That’s the future."
