4 kinds of research, one search.

From research question to interview booked — in 4 steps

No panel signup. No screener approval. No waiting. Describe who, let AI do the rest.

1
Describe Who You Need

Natural language: by role, industry, geography, expertise, seniority — even niche signals like "shipped a feature in last 6 months" or "published in HCI journals."

2
AI Scans 100+ Sources

Lessie searches LinkedIn, company directories, professional databases, and verified networks — no panel signup, no screener approval, no waiting list.

3
Get Verified Contacts

Every result includes role, company, seniority, and a verified work email — with a relevance score. Direct outreach, no panel intermediary.

4
Run Your Study, Your Way

Send invites, book interviews via Calendly, run surveys, conduct usability tests — your tools, your incentives, your relationships. Lessie just brings the people.

Built for finding the right people — fast

Panels optimize for monetizing professional respondents. Lessie optimizes for your real problem: “find 10 specific people, fast” — whether for product, academic, or launch research.

🎯
Find the Right 0.1%

Prolific gives you students. Respondent.io gives you panel regulars. Lessie understands "fintech PMs who shipped in the last 6 months" or "HCI researchers at top-20 universities" — the niche populations panels can't reach.

  • Natural language: role, industry, expertise, recent activity
  • Multi-source fusion: LinkedIn + academic profiles + company data
  • Scored, ranked results — not a panel-ID dump
✉️
Direct Emails, Not Panel Handles

You contact participants directly through your own email — no panel platform sitting between you and them. Own the relationship, follow up, build a long-term research network.

  • 95%+ verified work emails
  • Send invites from your domain — better response rates
  • Build a private panel you own (not platform-locked)
Recruit in 60 Seconds, Not 6 Weeks

Stop waiting weeks for Respondent.io screener approval or Prolific to fill quotas. Type a query, get a ranked list of verified contacts in 60 seconds, send invites the same hour.

  • Under 60s from query to verified contact list
  • 1-click export to Calendly, Notion, Airtable, CSV
  • AI-drafted personalized invite emails included
💰
Flat $39.9/mo — Recruit Unlimited

Respondent.io: $50-100/participant. User Interviews: $30-75/session. Prolific: $0.50/participant + completion bonuses. Lessie: flat $39.9/mo, recruit 5 or 500 — same cost. Spend your budget on incentives, not platform fees.

  • No per-participant fees, ever
  • No quota limits or screener bottlenecks
  • You pay incentives directly — full budget goes to participants

FAQ

Get answers to common questions about Lessie AI.

How does Lessie AI find user research participants?

Lessie AI uses an agentic search engine that scans 100+ data sources — LinkedIn, company websites, professional networks, and B2B databases. Describe your ideal participant in natural language (e.g. 'fintech PMs at companies with 50-200 employees'), and Lessie surfaces matched professionals with verified emails and direct contact info, ranked by relevance score.

Why use Lessie instead of Respondent.io or User Interviews?

Respondent.io and User Interviews charge $50-150 per recruited participant, plus screener fees. Lessie is a flat $39.9/mo with no per-participant fee — recruit 5 or 500, same cost. You also get verified emails (not just panel handles), so you can reach out via your own email or Calendly invite, control the relationship, and follow up directly.

What kinds of participants can I find?

Any B2B persona you can describe: SaaS founders, product managers, UX researchers, growth marketers, engineering leads, RevOps, sales reps, customer success, and more. Filter by role, seniority, industry, company size, geography, tech stack, or recent funding. Lessie handles complex multi-criteria queries that traditional research panels cannot.

Can I run incentivized interviews through Lessie?

Lessie provides the participant list with verified contacts. You handle the incentive payment yourself (gift cards, Stripe, etc.) — but because Lessie is flat-fee, you can spend 100% of your incentive budget on participants instead of platform fees. Many teams report saving $1,000+ per study.

How accurate are the participant emails?

Lessie verifies every email in real-time before delivery, with 95%+ deliverability. We prioritize direct work emails over generic ones. If a contact bounces, it is replaced automatically.

Can I export to my recruitment tool?

Yes. Export to CSV, or push directly to Calendly, Notion, HubSpot, or Airtable. You can also use Lessie's built-in outreach to send personalized invitations and book interviews directly.

Can I use Lessie for academic research?

Yes — and this is one of Lessie's strongest use cases. Prolific and MTurk skew toward students and general consumers, which doesn't fit B2B or industry-specific academic studies (e.g. studying fintech adoption among CIOs, or HCI research with senior PMs). Lessie indexes professionals by role, expertise, and industry signals, giving you direct verified emails for IRB-approved outreach. Many academic teams use Lessie alongside Prolific: Prolific for general consumer panels, Lessie for niche industry populations.

How does Lessie work for pre-launch product research?

Pre-launch research is Lessie's sweet spot. You typically have 2-4 weeks before launch to validate messaging, pricing, or positioning with your target persona — and panels need 4-6 weeks just to fill the quota. Describe your launch target (e.g. "growth marketers at SaaS companies running paid acquisition"), get 50-100 verified contacts in 60 seconds, run concept tests or interviews the same week. Many teams use Lessie for both pre-launch validation and post-launch onboarding research.
