Selected milestones in making continuous research trustworthy, recoverable, fast, and native to agents.

Choose how the interview invitation looks

  • A Study chooses how its launcher is dressed: calm, which holds completely still, or one of three treatments carrying a single moving element. Corner radius and glyph are separate choices.
  • The Invitation editor keeps a live preview beside its settings: the launcher in the Study's own colour and label on a light and a dark page at once, and the expanded Invitation on a page when the Study shows one.

Recognize products that keep listening

Why it matters. Products that turn completed customer interviews into source-linked Evidence can make that practice visible and help people discover teams that keep listening.

  • A public leaderboard ranks participating customer domains by collected Evidence, with completed Interviews as the tie-breaker.
  • Owners decide whether to publish, can refine the automatically fetched title and description, and can unpublish later.
  • Listings use live research counts and direct website links; payment is only a private anti-abuse eligibility check and never changes rank or promotion.
  • Listings display the product's own site icon, fetched from the listed website at publish time and served from UserTold rather than hotlinked.
  • The Terms of Service gained a Public Listings section covering listing content rules and UserTold's right to suspend or remove a listing.
