ReadingMinds Named to Quirks' 2026 Top 14 Home Use Testing/Research Companies

ReadingMinds.ai has been featured in Quirks' 14 Top Home Use Testing/Research Companies list for 2026, alongside established providers in the in-home use testing (IHUT) category.

Quirks is the market research industry's primary trade publication. Being listed in their top-providers directory means recognition from the practitioners and buyers who define what good qualitative research looks like.

Why IHUT Matters

In-home use testing answers questions surveys cannot. How does a customer actually live with the product over a week? When do they get stuck? What do they say to themselves when they unbox it? Traditional IHUT captures this through diaries, photos, and scheduled check-ins. The output is rich, but slow and expensive to analyze.

What ReadingMinds Brings to IHUT

Emma, the ReadingMinds AI interviewer, runs short voice interviews with IHUT participants at any point in their usage window. Participants describe what is working, what is not, and how they experienced it, in their own voice, on their own schedule. No moderator coordination required.

The ReadingMinds Expression Fingerprint™ tags each response by expression and intensity, so the analysis team sees not just what users said but how they said it. Hesitation around setup. Cheerfulness at first use. Anger on day three. Patterns that written diaries flatten, voice surfaces clearly.

Architecture, retention, and compliance details live in the Trust & Compliance Center, including how transcripts are handled and how audio is processed (no permanent recordings stored).

Thank You

Thank you to the Quirks team for the recognition, and to our customers whose IHUT programs put the platform through its paces.
