Priming before focus groups
Methodology
Online communities are not a single method. They are a flexible family of approaches that can be shaped to almost any research objective, duration, scale, or budget. Here is how researchers use incling.
The simplest form of an online community: a short-burst asynchronous space that runs alongside a live research event, before and after the session.
Ideal for
Priming before focus groups
Post-group follow-up
Homework and in-home missions
In-depth interview preparation

A community with a defined start, end, and objective. It runs from 24 hours to a few months, depending on the complexity of the question and the depth of insight required.
Ideal for
Rapid concept testing
Brand and category exploration
Quick-turn qual alongside quant
Agile product and UX feedback

incAI moderates across all task types in over 30 languages, around the clock, so every participant receives a considered follow-up rather than being left unengaged.
Ideal for
Large-scale qualitative studies
Time-zone spanning panels
Multi-market research at speed
Lean-team studies

Run human-like one-to-one interviews at scale, on your participants' schedule. incAI Interviews explores motivations and opinions in real time, with transcripts captured and summarised for fast analysis.
Ideal for
Large-scale, quick turn around studies

Customer advisory panels
Brand and product tracking
Ongoing agency panels
Employee insight communities

A permanent home on the incling platform from which any number of studies can be launched throughout the year, structured around a package of research days with no restrictions on how they are used.

Hybrid research design
Validation and follow-up
Global live research in any language
