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.

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.

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 🧗‍♀️
