Make Your Research Actionable and Impactful with Marvin and Dscout

Scaling qualitative research has always been one of the hardest challenges research teams face.

The result? Burnt-out researchers with growing backlogs and tough choices between speed versus depth.

At Marvin, we believe you shouldn’t have to settle for one over the other. By building a research stack of best-in-class tools, you can scale research operations without losing quality and depth.  

And this is exactly why we are thrilled to partner with Dscout to make research faster, smarter, and more impactful.

This partnership brings two research powerhouses together. Dscout makes it faster and easier to collect authentic user feedback, analyze that data, and share findings that move the needle. Marvin then becomes the central repository where that data lives for deeper AI synthesis and long-term knowledge building.

Built by researchers for researchers, Marvin can help you centralize research, slash analysis time, and connect actionable insights back to your entire org. Our Dscout integration is the bridge that turns raw fieldwork data into centralized organizational knowledge.

Together, we are helping customer-centric companies build the ultimate research stack for a modern workflow. Here’s how this powerful integration can transform your work.

#1 Build the stack you actually want

For a long time, researchers felt forced into a single ecosystem. You had to use a single “all-in-one” UX tool for everything, even if it wasn’t the best fit for the job.

Now, when you pair Marvin with Dscout, you have the flexibility that modern research demands. Use Dscout for its robust recruiting, range of methods, and analysis features, and then bring that data into Marvin for even deeper analysis and long-term storage.

As your research scales, instead of losing clarity, each conversation now refines your collective customer knowledge. Marvin automatically helps you build your own customer knowledge hub, giving your leadership instant, traceable customer evidence.

With the new integration, you get the best tools working in harmony to elevate your research.

#2 Turn hours of video into insights in minutes

Dscout is amazing for user testing and multimedia studies because you get longitudinal context on user behavior over time. But analyzing that footage manually can quickly become a problem.

Imagine you run a “Week in the Life” diary study with 50 participants. They each upload five videos a week, which creates hundreds of videos. Watching and tagging all that footage usually takes weeks of manual grunt work.

This is where Marvin steps in to save you time. The integration transforms raw data into searchable, queryable assets for deeper understanding.

Centralization & deeper synthesis with Marvin

Once you import your Dscout data, Marvin instantly processes the separate exports to create a single view of participant responses and media.

Supported study types: Marvin supports data import for usability tests, diary studies, and media surveys.

Data linking: For usability tests, Marvin automatically links the full session recordings to the participants’ survey responses. For diary studies, media clips map directly to the specific questions.

Instant Transcripts: Marvin’s AI generates full-text transcriptions for every upload. You can instantly search for specific keywords across hundreds of videos without watching or tagging them manually.

Automated Summaries: Slash analysis time with AI-powered summaries and customizable auto-notes for every entry.

Deep Research: Use Marvin’s Deep Research to run comprehensive, report-like analyses on your raw Dscout data. From Jobs-to-be-Done analysis to persona creation, choose from the list of pre-built analysis templates to generate automated in-depth insights.

Ask AI for instant insights: You can simply ask Marvin questions like “What are the top frustrations with the unboxing process?” Marvin AI will scan your data to give an immediate answer with the video evidence to back it up.

#3 Keep your insights active and alive

Great research should not have an expiration date. Too often, valuable data gets trapped in the fielding tool and forgotten once the project ends.

Let’s say you ran a Dscout usability test on your checkout flow six months ago. Today, a new Product Manager asks a question about payment preferences. The data is likely sitting in a closed project folder, disconnected from your current work.

But with this integration, your usability tests live in Marvin right alongside your Zoom interviews, sales calls, and support tickets.

Knowledge retrieval with Marvin

When you bring Dscout data into Marvin, it joins the rest of your knowledge.

Holistic repository: Centralize all imported Dscout studies alongside data from other sources like Zoom, Gong, and support tickets.

Cross-study analysis: Compare insights from multiple Dscout missions or link a usability test to themes from Zoom interviews. Find overarching customer themes across your entire research base.

Active knowledge retrieval: A product manager can search your Marvin repository for “payment preferences” and find the exact video clip from a Dscout study.

Compliance & PII: Marvin automatically detects and removes PII in transcripts and videos to ensure sensitive data is protected.

Actionable reporting: Share unfiltered customer feedback effortlessly. Create shareable research reports and pull in anything from video clips to graphs and notes to add customer proof. Want to polish the executive summary or report copy? Try our AI Writer. You can also stitch together clips from multiple recordings to create the ultimate Playlists to back your research.

Distribute insights: Marvin’s superpower is sharing research with anyone, even non-Marvin users. Export and download data at every step of your workflow to fuel future projects, decision-making, and strategic planning.

Ultimately, the Marvin and Dscout integration ensures that your work continues to provide value long after the study is closed.

Get the full picture

We made the process simple. You export your data from Dscout and upload it to Marvin. We handle the heavy lifting by automatically linking the video files to the right participant and the right question. You can now quickly capture participant voices and media in Dscout and find the deeper meaning in Marvin.
