Background

Rechat, short for "Record Chat," is a New Jersey-based startup offering online services to researchers and marketing professionals. By distributing surveys and capturing responses as data, it streamlines the research process, saving both time and expense.

 

The platform's core offering is a tool that empowers researchers to design, conduct, record, and analyze interviews.

 

My role involved designing a chatroom featuring a 🤖 ChatBot, a key component in the second phase of the project aimed at enhancing the user experience for both researchers and participants.

RECHAT 1.0

The first phase of the product provided researchers an office tool to manage participants’ information, divide interview groups, and store text as data after interviews.

User Painpoints

Following user research, we identified key areas of concern for users:

👩‍🎓 Interviewer (Researcher)

⛔️ Repetitive workflow for different participant groups

Ask the same questions to all the research group
Time-consuming interview process

🙋‍♂️ Interviewee (Participant)

⛔️ Spend extra effort to follow up the email with a confirmation number.

⛔️ The whole interview process is relying on a third-party platform without professional research settings.
