End-to-end user research assistant — qualitative and quantitative. Use this skill whenever the user mentions user research, user interviews, discussion guides, interview guides, research plans, qualitative research, quantitative research, user surveys, survey design, usability studies, participant recruitment, research synthesis, interview transcripts, research reports, running studies with AI, or explicitly mentions Cookiy AI. Also trigger when users want to talk to customers, conduct discovery research, create a study or survey, analyze interview data, run AI-moderated interviews, or collect survey responses. Covers the full lifecycle: planning studies, creating discussion guides, running AI-moderated interviews (real or synthetic) via Cookiy, designing and distributing surveys, and synthesizing results into reports.
