## What is Circle Panel?

Circle Panel is a user research platform for planning, recruiting, conducting, and analyzing studies in one workspace. It supports moderated interviews and prototype testing, combining study setup, participant screening, scheduling, recording, transcription, and synthesis.

Researchers can describe a research goal in plain language and use the platform to draft a study plan, discussion guide, and screener. Teams can recruit through a branded booking link, use Circle Panel's participant panel, or bring their own participants.

The platform provides live transcription in Arabic and English, session recordings, searchable quotes and clips, and AI-assisted theme clustering and insight ranking. It is designed for product managers, designers, UX researchers, and market research teams working with participants across MENA.

## What can Circle Panel do?

### AI-assisted study setup

Turn a plain-language research goal into a draft study plan, discussion guide, and participant screener, with frameworks drawn from a knowledge base spanning 100 industries.

### Participant recruitment and screening

Share a branded booking link, recruit from the built-in participant panel, or bring your own list. Screener questions filter participants automatically and participants can book available slots.

### Moderated video interviews

Run structured one-on-one sessions with an in-session discussion guide, live follow-up prompts, automatic recording, and one-click participant rescheduling.

### Arabic and English transcription

Capture live interview transcripts in Arabic and English, including sessions where participants switch between the two languages.

### Cross-session synthesis

Group themes across sessions, surface quotes and clips, and rank findings by frequency to support analysis after interviews or prototype tests.

### Prototype testing workflow

Test shareable prototype links, including password-protected Figma prototypes, with task-completion paths, click patterns, recordings, and follow-up answers.

## Use Cases

### Moderated user interviews

Create a guide from a research goal, schedule participants, conduct live video conversations, and review transcripts, tagged clips, clustered themes, and a shareable summary.

### Prototype testing

Put an early or polished prototype in front of screened participants, observe task paths and points of confusion, and use session evidence to guide design iteration before engineering.

### MENA market research

Reach verified participant segments across MENA in Arabic or English through the built-in panel, while retaining the option to recruit from an existing participant list.

### Continuous product discovery

Keep studies, findings, personas, and reports in a searchable repository so teams can revisit earlier research when planning subsequent studies.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can Circle Panel work with Arabic and English interviews?

Yes. Live transcription, summaries, and insight generation support Arabic and English, including sessions in which participants switch between the two languages.

### Do I need to provide my own participants?

No. You can use Circle Panel's verified MENA participant panel, bring your own list through a booking link, or combine both approaches in one study.

### What can I use for prototype testing?

Any prototype that can be shared as a link can be tested. Figma is supported, including password-protected files, and multiple prototype variations can be included in one study.

### What outputs are available after moderated interviews?

The platform provides a transcript for each session, clustered themes across the study, tagged clips, and a shareable summary.

### Is there a trial for paid plans?

Paid plans include a 14-day free trial, and the trial does not require a credit card.
