ResearchGOAT

ResearchGOAT targets the slowest part of qualitative research: finding participants, running the conversations, and turning hours of talk into findings. Instead of a researcher booking sessions and taking notes, the platform has an AI moderator conduct live one-to-one interviews while automated human participant recruitment fills the slots. Each session is recorded and transcribed, and the platform analyzes every interview as well as the project as a whole, so themes surface without a manual coding pass. Interviews can be conducted in more than 50 languages, which makes cross-market studies far easier to run than the traditional translator-plus-moderator setup.

The workflow is designed to be self-serve for small teams while still scaling to enterprise programs. An automated project builder sets the study up, collaboration tools let stakeholders share access to sessions and findings, and free human support is included so first-time researchers are not left alone with the tooling. Teams are typically UX researchers, product managers, marketers and customer-experience leads who need qualitative signal on a tight timeline and are willing to let AI handle moderation and first-pass analysis.

The pricing page positions the product as 'free to try, fast results'. Every month you get 360 free interview minutes; beyond that you pay $1 per interview minute plus any recruiting and participant incentive costs. The free tier includes the live AI-moderated interviews, automated human recruitment, one hour of human support, the automated project builder, automated in-depth analysis per interview and per project, transcripts and video recordings, collaboration tools, and interviews in 50+ languages. ResearchGOAT is operated by Synthetic Acumen, sells through a sign-up form and a Calendly demo booking, and maintains a LinkedIn presence. Because the pricing page is a marketing page, confirm current limits and any enterprise terms with the vendor before committing to a large study.
