LIVE FROM THE FIELD

Q · On arrival

How easy was getting into the venue?

🎙 0:14 voice note
“Step-free entrance was clear, but the signage was hard to read in low light.”

Why in the moment

Retrospective surveys forget. Live data doesn’t.

No recall bias

Prompts land during the experience, not days later — capturing the moment before memory, peak-end effects and rosy hindsight reshape it.

📲

A platform people know

No app to install or learn. WhatsApp is already on two billion phones, with screen-reader support, voice notes and adjustable text built in.

Inclusive by design

Built for research with disabled and under-represented audiences — voice-first input, low barrier to entry, and a consent flow that works with assistive tech.

How it works

From sign-up to insight

01

Design the study

Write questions, set the schedule, add photo or audio prompts, and invite participants by link or QR.

02

Participants respond

Questions arrive over WhatsApp on cue. People reply with text, voice notes, photos, video or a location pin.

03

Read & interview

Every reply lands in a live diary you can tag, annotate, and walk through together in the follow-up interview.
