Course overview

Does this sound familiar?

You’re sitting in front of a mountain of raw data—interview transcripts, survey results, and feedback from multiple sources.


Your brain is fried from collecting it all, but the real challenge hasn’t even started yet: turning that pile into clear, actionable insights.


Stakeholders are emailing:

👋 “Where’s the analysis?”

👋 “When can we share this with the team?”

👋 "We need to decide about [product change] NOW."


You look at the clock. It’s later than expected. 🤦


You've been trying to use AI to speed things up, but it gave you results that didn’t feel reliable.


Vague themes, out-of-context quotes, or flat-out fake "user insights."


You have a constant fear that it missed something critical that *you* would have found.


And after all the time spent, you decide to re-do the analysis manually anyway.



Sound familiar?


I’ve been there. 🙋‍♀️



If you’ve felt stuck in endless ChatGPT loops, redoing AI’s work, or wondering if there’s a better waythis is for you.


With the right knowledge and systems, AI stops being such a gamble.



As a result of taking this course, you will cut your analysis time measurably, without sacrificing the quality of your work -


✅ Turn piles of feedback into insights in a fraction of the time.


✅ Prompt AI to deliver results you can stand behind, so you can actually trust it to support you.


✅ Build your own best-fit system for customer research that’s fast, scalable, and repeatable—without sacrificing depth.


✅ Figure out which tools and workflows work best for specific research tasks.


✅ Present findings that capture stakeholders and clients—going beyond themes to opportunities others miss (and written in language that feels like it's just for them).


✅ Have a repeatable, efficient way to vet tools to identify the right ones now and in the future.


✅ Make better use of tools you *already have* in your team, and cases for adopting other tools.




Why trust me?


I've run AI training with teams at FAANG companies and top scale-ups.

My newsletter subscribers from companies like Shopify, Spotify, Lufthansa Airlines, Namecheap and more rely on my AI guidance for their team's decisions.


I've run 400+ hours of tests with 70+ individual AI tools in customer research tasks.


As a result, I’ve cracked what makes the most difference when using AI for research.

Hey, I'm Caitlin. ✌️


I've spent 14 years helping companies crack the power of customer insights—as a strategist, marketer, designer and researcher - and lately, as a guide to integrating AI into customer research.


〰️

Along the way, I’ve:

  • Tested 70+ AI tools specifically for customer research tasks.


  • Trained teams at FAANG companies and top scale-ups to transform their workflows with AI.


  • Run a premium newsletter on AI in Customer Research with subscribers from Shopify, Spotify and more.


  • Helped startups and scale-ups launch products that have added up to 30% in profits.


  • Run the largest semi-public test of AI moderation tools for qualitative research (Dec'24).


  • Taught foundational research skills to 250+ non-researchers.


  • Guided eight scale-ups to establish their first research teams.


I’ve also worked with major names like Fjord (Accenture), North Kingdom, Google, LEGO and Lufthansa Airlines group.



〰️

Why I Created This Course -


Nearly everyone I talk to says they've used AI but are disappointed with the results.


I created this course to share exactly what I’ve been doing to get better results with AI—turning it into a trusted, seamless partner in my research workflows.


My systems let me deliver high-quality work faster, so I can spend more of my time doing what matters most—strategic thinking and leveling up more designers' research skills.

Outside of Work -

When I’m not testing AI tools or training teams, you’ll find me with my toddler, advising female founders on cracking their markets, or hanging from some rocks 🧗‍♀️
