Frequently asked questions

Mixed methods research combines quantitative research, such as surveys and ratings, with qualitative research, such as interviews and usability testing. It helps teams measure trends while understanding the experiences and motivations behind them.

It’s one study that combines survey questions, prototype tasks, and AI follow-ups, with optional video, audio, and screen recording. You get the numbers and the reasons behind them from the same person.

Single choice, multi-choice, rating, NPS, ranking, image preference, open-ended, and card sorting are available, along with Figma prototype tasks. Prototype testing for live websites and other tools is coming soon.

Survey tools collect standardized responses, but open-ended questions often produce vague answers you can’t follow up on. Marvin pairs structured questions with AI follow-ups and optional recording, so you capture the answer and the reasoning behind it from the same person, at the same moment.

AI-Moderated Interviews are conversational and best for open-ended exploratory research. Mixed Method Study is structured, with AI probing on top, and is best for validating hypotheses, designs, messaging, and concepts.

Yes. You can use a participant’s answers to route them to different questions or screen them out early, sending them straight to the closing screen.

You decide which open-ended questions get follow-ups and what the AI should probe on. Structured questions always produce clean, structured answers.

No. You choose whether to record camera, microphone, and screen. You can also run the study as a structured survey with no recording at all. Prototype tasks require audio and screen sharing.

Every response flows into Marvin, where you can view charts for each question, review individual participant responses, and ask AI about your results alongside your existing research.
