Why teams pick Askable

Askable is a professional research grade platform. Here’s why it matters to the modern research team. 

Trust the data when you need it. 

Teams are moving faster than ever before, making decisions in real-time not waiting days or weeks. Askable allows your team to access research on demand with 100% traceable evidence, you can trust the research your team is producing. Look up the data directly in Ask AI or in the tools your team already uses for a seamless research experience.

AI-backed research on demand. Get insights not data points.

Askable’s AI works across the entire research lifecycle. AI Moderator runs interviews in 18+ native languages. AI Synthesis clusters themes and links every insight back to its source. Ask AI lets you understand every study you’ve ever run creating insights, not just data points. 

A single source of truth. Participants you can trust. 

AI speeds up the process but oftentimes AI systems are not built around trust-based protocols. Every Askable participant undergoes a triple-verification process ensuring each and every response is evidence based, not based on faith. Our engine scores, connects, and tracks every piece of evidence so nothing is taken on face value. Poor quality responses are automatically excluded from your study, so you only get real valuable insights. 

All methodologies, all users at a single price.

The Askable platform supports moderated interviews, unmoderated testing, prototype testing, card sorting, tree testing, surveys, and more. A number of other research tools gate a number of these features behind higher tier plans, making you pay more to access basic research methodologies. In addition to this many tools also make you pay for each and every user, whereas with Askable you have no user limit by design.
