Product Learning at

the speed of AI

Scaling real-world insight to match the speed

of product development.

Role

Founder • Product Designer

Scope

Defined and explored an AI-powered product learning system across product strategy, system design, and engineering

work

Explored how AI can enable fast, decision-oriented product learning by combining scale with conversational depth

IMPACT

Developed and tested a system concept, led engineering, and evaluated market viability in a rapidly evolving AI landscape

Product development accelerated with AI,

User research and insights market

AI has rapidly reduced the cost of generating and analyzing user input, yet the way teams gather feedback has remained largely unchanged.

observation

Product teams consistently had critical questions, but no quick way to answer them

Big tech looked for ways to replace traditional research systems with AI powered solutions

Product learning is ready to operate at the speed of decisions

USER JOURNEY

Mobile Experience Deep Dive

I want to understand how the onboarding flow is working for users

Sarah, Product manager

01

Low-lift study creation

Collapse the effort required to go from idea to executable study.

Conduct bespoke user research studies without being a UXR expert

02

Adaptive AI Interviewing

AI-driven interviews adapt in real time, probing deeper without moderation

Produces richer, more relevant data without requiring expert moderation

03

Analysis made easy

Key insights and trends are generated across studies

Quickly gain a birds-eye view on the research findings

04

Actionable insights

Feedback is translated into signals for what is working, what is not, and what to do next.

Learn by screen or by question what users had to say.

05

Adaptive chat

Save hours on analysis in answering your research questions

AI agent adapts to do the searching so you don't have to

Context

CoCreate was incubated through Carnegie Mellon at the intersection of human-computer interaction and large language models. That academic foundation meant every assumption, including whether to raise, had to be tested and could not assumed.

Outcome

Choosing to self-fund was a deliberate bet on strategic control. In a category shifting monthly, owning the roadmap compounded faster than outside capital could.

Learnings

From big tech certainty to founder clarity,

01

I stepped away from the structure of big tech to test a belief: that adaptive AI interviewing could extend the reach of user research and re-center it in product development.


I designed a system to explore how qualitative insight could scale without sacrificing depth or essential human judgment.

02

Through building and pressure-testing the concept, I uncovered what actually makes AI-assisted research viable in practice:


Users need to trust AI-led conversations, insights must arrive in time to shape decisions, and humans must remain clearly in control of interpretation.

03

What began as a belief became a self-funded product exploration and a shift in how I operate. I learned that the hardest part is not technical execution, but knowing when to trust your own conviction before the market catches up.
