Generate easy access links for participants

Run pre-call tests
Participants can run a self-check for audio, video and connectivity before the session. Results are shared with your team so sessions run exactly as planned.
Capture genuine human insights
Brainstork's video-first tools record every expression, reaction and emotion.
Conduct online interviews or focus groups
Run online in-depth interviews and focus groups, or stream in-person sessions directly in your browser. Every session is automatically recorded for transcription and analysis.
Invite observers to the virtual backroom
Invite clients and team members to observe without disrupting the conversation. Invisible to participants, observers gain valuable context while keeping responses unbiased.
Engage participants with polls and exercises
Choose from seven built-in exercise types, including ranking, rating, sorting, multiple choice, and open-ended formats. Exercises can be prepared in advance and launched during sessions, with results saved automatically and displayed in real time to observers.
Share stimuli in high quality
Videos, images, and presentations can be uploaded directly into Brainstork and shared during live sessions with high-quality playback. Every moment is automatically timestamped, making it easy to revisit specific moments during analysis.
Save important moments
When a powerful quote or striking reaction comes up, moderators and observers can capture it instantly with a single click. These tagged moments, complete with notes and timestamps, become the foundation for analysis and storytelling.
From hours of video to insights in minutes
Brainstork's AI accelerates your analysis: identifying quotes, themes, and differences between segments in a fraction of the time.
Transcribe with AI in 75+ languages
Get instant, accurate transcripts in more than 75 languages and dialects. Search by keyword and jump directly to the right moment in the recording. Brainstork adapts to specialized terminology and industry jargon using your discussion guide.
Create an analysis grid with your research questions
Enter your research questions and Brainstork analyzes your transcripts automatically. It highlights relevant quotes, each linked directly back to the original video, ensuring full transparency and eliminating the risk of AI hallucinations. Researchers can double-check, save quotes, and turn them into video clips. The result is faster, trustworthy analysis that keeps researchers in control.
Search across all transcripts
Search across all your project transcripts and instantly locate the exact word or phrase you need. With a single click, jump to the transcript and video, verify the moment, and save it as a clip. This saves hours and makes analysis more accurate and reliable.
Analyze sentiments
Quotes identified by AI are automatically scored for sentiment, showing whether responses lean positive, negative, or mixed. This gives researchers a quick snapshot of attitudes toward a product, concept, or idea without needing to sift through pages of transcripts.
