The use case: how Microsoft deploys Listen
Microsoft's customer research team uses Listen Labs to run qualitative interviews with customers at scale, in multiple languages and formats (video, text, voice). It also used the platform to collect global customer video stories for the company's anniversary.
In the customer’s words
It takes 4 to 6 weeks to get to insightsBy the time we get to them, either the decision has been made or we lose out on the opportunity to actually influence it.If I want to do 100 interviews with customers, I’m able to do it at scaleI can reach out to hundreds of users at one third of the cost.I am not only able to scale the why, but also enable inclusivityOur customers are able to answer in a mode of their choice — whether it’s through a video, whether it’s through text, whether it’s through voice — in a language of their choice. And at a time that works for them, unlike the traditional qualitative research where people are boxed in a certain time and the date.We wanted users to share how Copilot is empowering them to bring their best self forwardand we were able to collect those user video stories within a day.Our leadership team was very thrilled at both the speed and the scale that Listen enabledI feel like Listen lets me focus more of my time on strategic work, talking to the customers. The bonus is it brings a little bit of the fun and joy back to my work.It takes 4 to 6 weeks to get to insights,” Romani said. “By the time we get to them, either the decision has been made or we lose out on the opportunity to actually influence it.Research can be a lot of manual work.” she said, “I feel like Listen lets me focus more of my time on strategic work, talking to the customers. The bonus is it brings a little bit of the fun and joy back to my work.I enjoy uncovering what motivates people, why they make certain decisionsand how the products or the experiences make users feel.Think about it as 100 studies for the price, at least in terms of time, of five or six. Our researchers' time is one of the scarcest commodities.Other AI tools used by Microsoft
