Summary

Product Context Analyzer is an AI-first solution that automates the discovery and analysis of product usage context, instantly synthesizing insights into industry-standard requirements models. By transforming raw inputs like tasks, personas, user journeys, or interview transcripts into structured design inputs, this tool dramatically reduces reliance on time- and labor-intensive primary research. It empowers any team, at any time, to generate actionable user insights in minutes, enabling continuous learning about user needs and scaling research operations across an organization. In this session, we’ll demo how to go from raw input to clear, structured requirements and user stories and illustrate how AI is reshaping the way teams develop a more inclusive and deeper understanding of users to make the right strategic and tactical design decisions to deliver successful products.

Key Insights

  • Most product teams struggle to complete full human-centered design cycles due to late, insufficient or unsupported user research.

  • The Context Analyzer leverages large language models to automatically generate structured context, tasks, needs, and user requirements from minimal input in minutes.

  • The tool models user contexts as knowledge graphs linking tasks, subtasks, goals, pain points, stakeholders, and resources, rather than flat text.

  • Multiple research artifacts are generated simultaneously, including journey maps, task fact sheets, empathy maps, and user story maps.

  • Designers and product managers can use the tool to generate research outputs without needing direct access to users or specialized research skills.

  • The system's outputs follow ISO standards for requirements and structure, facilitating better shared understanding within teams.

  • While the tool captures broad, representative insights, it cannot fully uncover unique psychological or hidden user needs uncovered by direct research.

  • Incorporating contextual prompts about location or culture can reduce biases in AI-generated research outputs.

  • The tool supports uploading interview transcripts to further enrich context analysis and integrate with existing data.

  • It is not recommended for use by developers directly, but rather product owners, analysts, and designers who can interpret and leverage the structured outputs.

Notable Quotes

"Our vision was to create an AI first tool for user research that delivers instantly well structured requirements and design inputs."

"Most product teams don't really have user research outputs or they come too late and disconnected from design."

"This tool radically automates user research steps so that no facilitation is needed, it’s actually automatic."

"You get a lot of different research outputs in a matter of minutes from your scope input."

"We model context of use as knowledge graphs with tasks, sub-task goals, task objects—all linked in relations."

"You can refine your scope and run the analysis loop multiple times in one or two hours to explore an entire domain."

"This is pure context information, not requirements yet, but it’s structured and detailed for design."

"The tool enables designers and product managers to generate high-quality context and user requirements without dependency on user access or research skills."

"The golden nuggets—the unique insights—still require direct user engagement, but many teams have no time or access for this."

"We believe in coexistence of our tool, ChatGPT, and real customer visits where possible."
