Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Ask for the jobs lens, or give it research about buying or switching decisions. It writes job stories ("When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [expected outcome]"), maps the four forces of progress (push, pull, anxiety, habit), and turns each feature request in your sources into the job behind it. This replaces the former JTBD Extractor skill.

JTBD is a framework that focuses on the underlying goal customers are trying to achieve, rather than their demographic or the features they request. It helps you understand the "job" your product is "hired" to do.

Research synthesis combines findings from multiple research activities (interviews, surveys, analytics) into coherent insights. It identifies patterns, contradictions, and key takeaways that inform product decisions.

Use affinity mapping: write insights on sticky notes, group related ones, identify themes. Look for patterns across sources. Distinguish between what users say, what they do, and what they need.

Lead with insights, not methodology. Use the format: "We learned [insight] which means [implication] so we should [recommendation]." Include supporting quotes but don't overwhelm with data.
