AI Annotations for User Research

Surfaces the moments that matter. You decide what stays.

Your sessions are full of insights but identifying them quickly continues to be a workflow bottleneck for researchers. The all-new AI Annotations fixes this by surfacing key moments, sentiment patterns, and usability friction the moment your transcripts are ready, and packaging them into shareable clips and highlight reels. Every AI-generated annotation card is flagged and you can edit, refine, delete, or add your own. The model proposes and you get to decide what stays.

HOW IT WORKS

How AI Annotations Works

Every user session now comes with an AI-generated session highlight that automatically identifies the key moments and stitches them into a Reel: a compilation with the parts that truly matter.

Every AI-generated annotation lines up chronologically with a timestamp, summary, and tags, all editable. 

Want to go straight to the full session? No problem. All annotations will appear in order for your review. Then, complement these findings with your own annotations, saving you hours that you can spend on drawing conclusions.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL

Every Annotation Labeled and Every Timestamp Citable, With You in Control 

You’re still the researcher. The AI proposes and you get to decide what stays.

BENEFITS

Built to Scale UX Research Output Without Scaling the Team

Speed to Insight

The moment a transcript is ready, AI Annotations scans the session for speech, navigation, and sentiment. It returns a stitched Reel of the key moments alongside a chronological list of editable annotations, each one delivered with a timestamp, summary, and tags. What used to fill a half-day of session review now fits inside a focused review.

Scalability

Run more studies, with more participants, without growing the team. AI Annotations handles the first pass on every session in your study, whether you’re testing three participants or thirty, one of the most scalable user research tools available for session analysis. Analyst time per study stays roughly flat, and researchers can reinvest those hours in study design, synthesis, and stakeholder reports.

Stakeholder Clarity

Every AI annotation comes with a shareable clip already generated. Stakeholders can click the link, watch the exact moment in question, and move on without scrubbing through the full session. The complete annotation set exports to CSV with text, tags, session references, annotation source (AI-generated vs. manual), and timestamp included. Product managers, designers, and executives get a polished highlight reel they can digest in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Insights

AI Annotations is Userlytics' built-in AI video annotation tool for user research sessions. The moment your transcripts are ready, it automatically identifies key moments, sentiment patterns, and usability friction, packaging them into a shareable highlight reel and a chronological list of editable, timestamped annotations. Every AI-generated card is flagged so you can edit, refine, or remove it.
Manual review requires watching every session in full and tagging moments by hand and it can typically half a day per study. AI Annotations delivers a complete annotation set automatically the moment transcripts finish processing, turning hours of session review into a focused analysis with your UX research tools. Researchers review and refine instead of starting from scratch.
Yes. Every AI-generated annotation comes with a shareable clip link already generated. Stakeholders click the link and watch the exact moment, without scrubbing through the full session. You can also download clips for presentation decks, or export the full annotation set to CSV with text, tags, session references, annotation source (AI-generated vs. manual), and timestamp included.
Yes. Every annotation is fully editable. You can adjust timestamps, swap AI tags for your own taxonomy, add manual annotations alongside AI ones, or delete any suggestion that doesn't fit your findings. The annotation source — AI-generated vs. manual — is preserved in every export.
AI Annotations works across Userlytics studies including moderated and unmoderated sessions, prototype testing, and concept evaluation. It scans for speech patterns, navigation behavior, and sentiment patterns, making it effective across study formats and participant sizes.
