Why should joining a research interview be so complicated that it needs dedicated technical support? flowres.io lets participants use familiar conferencing tools, reducing the learning curve and the need for technical handholding. Respondents can join with less friction, moderators focus on the conversation rather than troubleshooting. Of course, some sessions genuinely benefit from hands-on technical support. That's why flowres.io makes dedicated live assistance available when needed, rather than making every study dependent on it.
End-to-end should mean more than fieldwork and analysis. With flowres.io, recruitment comes with upfront, fixed rates: $40 per attended B2C participant or $80 per attended B2B participant, excluding incentives. Our Respondent.io integration gives you access to a panel of 4.3M+ verified participants, with Respondent.io reporting an average of just 15 minutes to the first qualified match. And the workflow doesn't stop at insights. Take your findings all the way into editable PowerPoint slides, using your own presentation template.
Why reinvent what specialist tools already do exceptionally well? We believe in bringing together proven tools for recruitment, conferencing, scheduling and incentives, rather than building everything into one proprietary system. flowres.io connects these services within a single research workspace, giving you the benefits of specialist technology without the complexity of managing disconnected tools. With modular, usage-based pricing, you pay for the capabilities your project needs, not unnecessary extras.
“Analysis was actually really great... the platform learned and understood the conversation flow pretty soon and accurately. So when I prompted, it accurately answered the questions and provided quotes that accurately reflected what I was trying to capture. The synthesis reflected what I was hoping for summarize, as a moderator and analyst.”
“We used specialized platforms only for a few projects when clients demanded it. When I realized how much we had spent on these platforms in 2022, I decided to search for a better option. I spent days looking at several platforms out there, and the platform that I found to be meeting all our needs was flowres.”
“I took the same questions from my interview guideline and asked them to that collective set of 20-plus interviews. I was able to catch nuances- see the thread and the corresponding quotes. Digging in, uncovering, discovering. A perfect example of human-centered AI: I'm in the driver's seat.”
“What I appreciate most is that the technology doesn’t replace the researcher. We’re still reading, questioning, checking themes against the transcripts, looking for contradictory evidence, and discussing where our interpretations differ. flowres.io helps us get closer to the data and makes it easier to explore patterns across a large body of qualitative work. And that is exactly how I want to use AI in research: not to hand over thinking, but to give researchers more capacity to think.”
“There's so many examples of how supported we felt and how we really appreciated ways of working that you guys demonstrated to us. There's several times the Tech team went over and above, to help work with the tool.”
