UX Maven: UX Research Methodology Companion
Choosing the right UX research method can be challenging. With a wide range of methods and tools available, it often feels like choosing from a 10-page restaurant menu—overwhelming, confusing, and frustrating. In the dynamic world of user experience at companies like Amazon, intuition alone doesn't cut it. Your choices need to be well-informed and precise. Daily, I receive numerous requests from PMs, UX Designers, and junior UX Researchers asking which research method best suits their specific problems and goals. After spending countless hours sifting through methodologies and deciding which ones best fit various project needs, I distilled all this knowledge into UX Maven.
Selecting the right research method involves not just time and effort, but also mental endurance. From battling decision fatigue to overcoming doubts like "Will this method uncover what I need?" or "I want results that resonate with stakeholders," UX Maven transforms your project’s requirements into a clear, actionable research plan. It's a game-changer and a confidence booster.

UX Maven is your go-to research methodology companion. It is your trusty sidekick—whether you're a UX researcher, designer, product manager, or anyone else in need of the right research method. To get started, simply type “Recommend a method” into the message field. You can also explore specific methodologies using targeted prompts.
I created UX Maven to streamline my research process and preserve my sanity. It has been a huge time-saver for me and my colleagues, so I decided to make it public to help fellow UX professionals (note: requires the paid version of ChatGPT).
Keep in mind, this AI is still learning, so please consult with a UX Researcher to confirm that the recommended method is fully viable and accurate for your project requirements.
