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.
