| 3 | Askable (askable.com) is an **all-in-one AI research platform** — the **research-ops / real-participant** |
| 4 | class, a **panel-first peer of Great Question**. It does the whole loop on **real people**: |
| 5 | - **Recruit** — from its own **verified participant panel** (triple-verified, fraud/voice-clip/LinkedIn |
| 6 | checks, a high self-reported show rate) **or bring your own** (BYO) via a share link. |
| 7 | - **Run any method** — **AI-moderated interviews** (the **Askable AI** moderator runs multilingual |
| 8 | interviews at scale), remote/live interviews, unmoderated prototype & usability tests, surveys, **card |
| 9 | sort / tree test**, five-second, first-click, website & mobile testing, diary studies. |
| 10 | - **Analyze** — AI theme/pattern analysis, heatmaps/path flows, and **Insight Streams** (continuous |
| 11 | weekly insights with video evidence), with findings linked back to quotes and clips. |
| 12 | - **Project Delivery** (its differentiator) — hand a whole study to **Certified Askable Researchers** who |
| 13 | recruit, run, and deliver findings for you in ~48h. A **done-for-you** service layered on the self-serve tool. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Australia-founded; the panel is **strongest in AU / NZ / UK / APAC**. Compliance: SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | **Two things to say almost every time:** |
| 18 | - **It's real people, but a study "I'd pay" is still not a purchase.** Real interviews and panel research |
| 19 | beat synthetic signal (genuine reasoning, objections, language) — but the willingness-to-pay go/no-go |
| 20 | belongs to a **real behavior test** (pre-sale, smoke test), not a study transcript. Route that to `/sales-idea-validation`. |
| 21 | - **It's UI-only — no public REST API, webhooks, or MCP surfaced.** Native integrations are with **UX |
| 22 | research tools** (Lookback, Optimal Workshop, Loop11, UserZoom) plus **SSO**; data-out is **manual |
| 23 | export**. "Call the Askable API / fire a webhook on study completion" is the wrong mental model — for an |
| 24 | API/webhook-native research pipeline, route to `/sales-great-question` (REST API + webhooks + MCP). |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ## Step 1 — Gather context |
| 27 | |
| 28 | If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Ask only what you can't infer: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | 1. **What do you want from Askable?** |
| 33 | - A) **Recruit participants** — from the Askable panel, or **BYO** (your own users via a share link) |
| 34 | - B) **Run a study/method** — AI-moderated interview, unmoderated prototype/usability test, survey, card sort/tree test |
| 35 | - C) **Managed research** — Project Delivery (Certified Askable Researchers run + deliver it for you) |
| 36 | - D) **Analyze / Insight Streams** — themes, heatmaps, continuous weekly insights |
| 37 | - E) **Get data out / automate** — export, or an integration (there is no public API/webhooks) |
| 38 | - F) **Pricing / plan gates** — credits, the Pro vs Enterprise split, the recent pricing change |
| 39 | - G) **Choose** — Askable vs Great Question / Respondent / User Interviews / Chikka |
| 40 | 2. **Is this discovery (strangers off the panel) or feedback from your own users (BYO)?** That changes |
| 41 | whether you pay for recruitment and how honest the signal is. |
| 42 | 3. **Where are your participants?** Panel depth is strongest in AU/NZ/UK — niche or non-APAC B2B audiences |
| 43 | are where reach/screener limits bite. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Skip-ahead: if the user wants to **compare research tools across the market** or the |
| 46 | validate-before-building **method**, that's a `/sales-idea-validation` question — route in Step 2. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly |
| 49 | |
| 50 | | If the user's question is about… | Route to | |
| 51 | |---|---| |
| 52 | | Comparing research/recruit/idea tools across the market, or the validate-before-building **method** | `/sales-idea-validation {question}` | |
| 53 | | A **REST API / webhook / MCP**-native research pipeline (Askable has none — it's UI-only) | `/sales-great-question {question}` | |
| 54 | | Running a **real behavior** demand test (sm |
