What is this?

An AI agent skill that enables any AI platform to plan, run, and synthesize user research — both qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (surveys) — without leaving the conversation.

Use it for general-purpose research (design research plans, interview guides, synthesize reports), or connect to Cookiy AI to run end-to-end studies with real or synthetic participants.
