Turning hours of interview footage into an instant answer

Coral Reef Studio's researchers were re-watching hours of user interviews to pull quotes for client reports. Doculigent's local transcription and AI chat over recordings turned that into a search, cutting report time from two days to half a day.

The Bottleneck

As a product research agency, Coral Reef Studio ran dozens of user interviews per client engagement. Writing up findings meant scrubbing back through hours of raw footage to find the exact quote or moment that supported a recommendation — often 8-10 hours per project.

The Fix, and What It Was Worth

They moved all interview recording to Doculigent, which transcribes locally and lets the team chat with an AI over the full recording library to pull up quotes, timestamps, and recurring themes across sessions instantly. Report turnaround dropped from about two days to half a day, and the team now runs more concurrent client engagements without adding headcount.
