AI-Powered, Human-Refined

Outset automates interviews. Knit automates the entire research process.

Unlike point solutions that only cover qual conversations, Knit unifies quant + qual and pairs AI automation with human expertise. That means speed, rigor, and decision-ready reporting with less work for your team.

Quant + Qual in One Study

Why settle for just interviews? Knit combines quant scale with qual depth in a single survey, so you get a full picture of your consumer in days.

AI Analysis + Researcher Oversight

Knit auto-generates analysis plans, cuts, cohorts, and reports within ~24 hours of fielding — then researchers refine outputs to ensure methodological rigor.

Managed-for-You Support

Research management, programming, and AI + human QA are included in every project. With Outset, you do the heavy lifting; with Knit, it’s handled.

What people are saying about Knit

Ready to see the difference?

While Outset offers quick AI-moderated interviews, it wasn’t built to deliver quant + qual or researcher-level rigor. Knit was — and that makes all the difference. For teams that want speed, depth, and decision-ready reporting without the DIY lift, Knit is the modern alternative to Outset
