Diary Study Analysis

Turn thousands of journal entries into measurable behavioral intelligence.

Diary studies capture how customers behave over days, weeks, or months, revealing needs and frustrations that rarely emerge during interviews. Unfortunately, analyzing thousands of journal entries, photos, videos, and observations is one of the most time-consuming forms of UX research. Steeped AI transforms longitudinal diary studies into measurable behavioral intelligence by identifying recurring habits, emotional states, product frustrations, workarounds, purchase triggers, and evolving customer needs.

Automatically compare journeys across participant groups, quantify emerging themes over time, and discover which behaviors predict satisfaction, retention, or product adoption. Researchers spend less time coding entries and more time delivering evidence-backed recommendations.
