It’s too long to copy in here I’m afraid and a bit too specific to my client to share publicly.

Super excited by the results that AI deep research is giving me for user research. I can tell it search the web for mentions of a brand and identify sentiment, questions and objections relating to the companies products and services. It can even tell me about the people who are commenting.
