Outset invented a better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews. We created this new category of research technology and now it's growing wildly.
Global brands like Hubspot, Microsoft, Uber and Nestle use Outset to achieve deeper, qualitative insights about their users at unprecedented speed and scale.
