About us

UX Research Meetups is a group for people interested in user research, UX design, and product thinking.

We bring together UX researchers, designers, product managers, and anyone curious about how research shapes better products.

The goal is simple: share knowledge, discuss what’s happening in the field, and connect with people who care about evidence-based design.

Expect practical talks with UX experts, discussions on trends in the industry, and space to connect with like-minded professionals— whether you’re experienced or just starting out.

If you enjoy our events, you might also like our podcast UX Research Geeks, where we talk with practitioners about research in real teams.

This group and all events are free. They’re organised by UXtweak - the user research platform helping teams recruit and manage participants effortlessly, conduct studies, analyze data, and share insights - all in one tool trusted by top brands.

🎙 Speaker and topic:

Topic: AI Moderation in UX Research, Tested: Chatbot vs. Avatar
Speaker: Petra Rajkov, User Researcher @UXtweak

🧐 About the presentation:
Text-based chatbots are the default for AI moderation in UX Research, but they can often feel cold and impersonal, leading participants to give low-effort, surface-level answers.
This session shares and discusses results from a paper by UXtweak Research published in Journal of Behavior Research Methods in which we tested whether a photorealistic, voice-driven AI avatar can outperform a standard chatbot as a research moderator.
What we'll cover:
- Whether avatars get richer, more engaged responses than chatbots
- The "Uncanny Valley" effect and how it shaped participant trust
- Where AI moderation fits alongside human researchers, and where it doesn't
