International market research is the practice of brands and agencies running studies across multiple countries and languages — traditionally requiring local fielding partners, hand-translated screeners, and back-translation that strips out idiomatic and cultural signal. User Intuition is international market research software powered by AI-moderated interviews, running 5-7 levels of laddering depth natively in 80+ languages and capturing cultural nuance and idiomatic expression that back-translation strips out. Across 30K+ AI-moderated interviews on User Intuition in 80+ languages, the AI moderator ran native-language interviews with 5–7 levels of laddering, probing cultural nuance, idiom, and emotional drivers in the participant's own words. That depth is possible because AI moderates in-language, rather than translating questions and answers across the conversation. A User Intuition multilingual study starts at $150, returns panel results in 24 hours with 98% participant satisfaction, and is backed by 4.9/5 on G2 and 5/5 on Capterra. The output is practical: native-language transcripts, English-translated themes, regional cuts, and cultural-context evidence for global brand, regional marketing, and international expansion teams.
What is international market research with User Intuition?
International market research with User Intuition runs 20–30 minute AI-moderated interviews natively in 80+ languages, with the same 5–7 levels of laddering in every market. Results auto-translate to English while the original-language transcript is preserved, with 200+ panel interviews in 24 hours from a 4M+ vetted panel across 58 countries, or your own customers, run in parallel as they respond.
Who is international market research with User Intuition for?
Research agencies running multi-country studies for global brands, and in-house insights teams comparing markets without a bilingual moderator in each one.
How does AI-moderated multilingual research work?
Design the guide in English and set the interview language, or let participants choose. The AI moderator interviews natively in voice, video or chat, and every English finding links back to the source-language verbatim and recording.
What do you get from a multi-country study?
English themes with source-language verbatims, market-by-market comparisons, an editable presentation, and every transcript and recording, with panel studies back in 24 hours.
Why does international market research stay shallow?
Teams that want real insight from non-English markets hit the same walls every time. Here's what researchers tell us, and how User Intuition closes each gap.
- Sound familiar?
Finding a moderator fluent in Portuguese and in laddering took three weeks, and that was one market of five.
Native AI moderation in 80+ languages
The AI moderator conducts the full interview in the participant's language, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Mandarin, with no bilingual moderator to recruit.
- Sound familiar?
The translated transcripts came back word-perfect, and we still missed what people meant.
Cultural nuance, preserved in the source language
The moderator probes in-language rather than reading a translated script, handling idiom and cultural context; results auto-translate to English while the original transcript stays available for review.
- Sound familiar?
Brazil got three levels of probing and Germany got six. We can't tell market differences from moderator differences.
One methodology across every market
The same guide and 5–7 levels of laddering run in every language, so cross-market comparisons reflect real differences, not moderator variance.
- Sound familiar?
At $20K–$40K a market for moderators and translation, we picked two markets and guessed about the rest.
Every market at the same per-interview rate
No language surcharge and no translation agency: run a 5-market study in 24 hours from a 4M+ vetted panel across 58 countries, one country per panel launch.

“Basically, because we use those things all a lot We try to always have you know, certain things in the house at all times because we use them very frequently. So we don't like to run out of them.”
What was making you want those specific things right then? Beyond just being out? Was it about being able to make certain meals or something else?
Basically, because we use those things all a lot We try to always have you know, certain things in the house at all times because we use them very frequently. So we don't like to run out of them.

“It made me feel so safe so relieved, and it brightened my day.”
Sounds like you knew exactly what you want. A Google Pixel 6 Pro. What was it about that phone that made it the right choice for you, especially in that moment?
Yeah. Thank you. So the the the phone had a lot of features. I I heard friends were talking about this phone. So in terms of the camera setting, it can take pictures and refine them into good quality. It has its own internal scanner, like I don't need to download other apps to scan to do scans. And of course, it has high quality for recording, which has been helping me in my meetings. In the office. So it's really amazing, and I love festival the quality of the phone in terms of the camera, because the previous phone I had was a Samsung. And the quality was really frustrating. And it had it has a very good processor speed as well. It's very fast. It's very efficient, and I like it. I like it. I'm enjoying the features.

What researchers say
"We used User Intuition to conduct user research when people signed up for our product as part of the onboarding flow. This consisted of 50 interviews per week across different languages and countries: where the biggest drop-offs were and what people's initial reaction to our product was. It helped us understand where to streamline the onboarding flow."
