User research, reimagined

The fastest way to
understand your users.

Your user knowledge, growing.

Feed it your research — reports, transcripts, findings — and Grove builds a structured, shared knowledge base your whole team can draw from.

AI-powered tools then put that knowledge to work: talk to synthetic user personas, generate interview guides, map user journeys, and challenge your assumptions — all grounded in what your team already knows.

How it works

🌱 A research flywheel, not a filing cabinet.

A grove is a living ecosystem — every piece of research becomes nutrients in the soil. Your user archetypes are the trees: they don't appear fully formed, they grow slowly and deliberately as insights accumulate around them.

📂01

Feed it research

Bring in what you already have — reports, transcripts, survey results. Or generate new findings by asking the AI to investigate a specific question or hypothesis.

🔍02

Review what the AI found

The AI extracts concrete, specific findings from your research — categorised by type and user journey stage. You stay in control: review each one and decide what goes in.

🌳03

Knowledge compounds

Approved findings build up in a shared knowledge base, organised by user type. Every entry is linked back to its source — so you always know where it came from.

04

Every tool gets better

The richer the knowledge base, the more useful every tool becomes. Conversations with synthetic personas feel more real. Insights get sharper. Decisions get faster.

Why Grove

🔒 You control what shapes your archetypes.

Most synthetic user tools are black boxes. They promise realistic personas, but you have no idea what trained them — and no way to know when they're hallucinating. Grove works differently.

🧱

Grounded in your research

Every insight in Grove was either added by your team or reviewed and approved by a human. Nothing enters the knowledge base automatically. No hallucinations, no mystery data — just what you choose to trust.

📚

Feed it anything

Your own reports. Public research. Interview transcripts. Survey exports. Industry studies. Grove accepts any format and extracts what matters — structured, categorised, and traceable back to its source.

No black-box personas

Unlike off-the-shelf synthetic user services, Grove's personas reflect exactly what your team knows. When a persona cites a source, it's a real finding your team approved — not a plausible-sounding invention.

The knowledge base

🧬 Your archetypes,
alive and growing.

Everything your team knows about your users — in one place. Not a document that gets stale, but a living knowledge base that grows every time you add new research.

Organised by user type, each insight is linked back to its source — so you always know how confident to be, and where to dig deeper.

🎯 Goals — what they're trying to achieve
😤 Pain points — the specific frustrations they face
🧠 Mental models — how they think and decide
🔄 Behavioral patterns — how they act at each stage
📊 Market signals — segment size, trends, comparisons

Pain pointTenant acquisitionHIGH

Landlords with 1–3 units spend an average of 12 hours per vacancy on tenant selection, with no trust in automated scoring.

Self-managing landlords prefer to negotiate rent increases in person rather than via app notification — consistent across age groups.

Core motivation is passive income stability — not portfolio growth. Success = zero unexpected contact from tenants.

The toolkit

🛠 Six tools, one knowledge base.

Every tool draws from the same shared knowledge. The more your team contributes, the better every tool performs — for everyone.

🌿Challenger Research

Have a hypothesis about your users? State it and let the AI investigate. It surfaces supporting evidence, contradictions, and open questions — giving you a structured starting point instead of a blank page.
