ONLINE COMMUNITIES

The depth of conversations and the confidence of data in a single study

Online communities are the heart of Bilendi Discuss. Whether you're running a three-day sprint or a month-long exploration, the platform gives you a space where consumers think out loud, react to each other, and build on shared experiences, while anchoring your findings to quantitative data you can segment, size, and act on. This is qualitative research at its best — and the quality of what you learn leans strongly on how engaged your participants are.

Engagement is the method, not an option.

Designed with engagement in mind

A community only delivers when people genuinely show up: when they share openly, react to one another, and treat the study as a conversation rather than a chore. Thin, dutiful answers produce thin insight. Open, expressive participation produces the kind of depth that changes decisions. So we designed the participant experience to do one thing above all — make people want to take part, and keep them coming back.

Quant cues where they sharpen the story

Bilendi Discuss is first and foremost a true online qualitative tool, built for the depth, nuance, and human texture that insights teams need to understand the why. But we don't stop there. You can also drop in quantitative tasks like multiple-choice questions, rating scales, and matrix questions, to gauge reactions and give quantitative measures to your qualitative findings for an additional sense of scale. It's qual with a quantitative pulse: the best of both worlds.

Quantitative foundations, qualitative depth

With Bilendi Discuss, your recruitment goes beyond just finding participants. While your recruitment screener qualifies participants and captures profiling, behavioural, and attitudinal data, that data can be fed directly into Bilendi Discuss. That means your community becomes a segmented dataset from the start. If you have a proprietary segmentation — a shopper typology, a media consumption model, a brand relationship framework — it can be embedded directly, so every qualitative finding maps back to the audiences that matter to your business.

 

A community, not a survey.

Collaborative
Web Portal

Communities are most at home in our Web Portal, and our new experience is built to feel like the social platforms participants already use every day. They view multimedia stimuli and respond in whatever way suits them, be it text, image, video, or voice note. They comment on each other's posts, follow the conversations they find interesting, and see what's gaining momentum in a trending view of the most-discussed topics. Staying on top of the study is effortless, with outstanding tasks always a tap away. The result is a space that invites participation rather than demanding it, turning a group of respondents into a genuine community.

Individual
Messaging

When you need primarily individual, uninfluenced responses or to catch up with participants while they are on the go, the Messaging format captures insights directly via messaging apps WhatsApp or Messenger. It's the ideal format for clean first impressions, personal reflections, or in-context feedback.

BARI keeps the conversation moving, and moves with you from insight to deliverable

In a busy community, keeping every thread productive is a full-time job. But our AI, BARI, is there to support you! BARI follows up with participants, detecting contributions that deserve deeper exploration and sending probes, without stepping on future questions' topics. Your moderators get to focus on the strategic questions rather than the logistics of keeping participants engaged.

At the end of your study, BARI can generate structured reports: task-level summaries, cross-segment comparisons, or full community narratives delivered as editable PowerPoint decks. What used to take days of manual synthesis is available in under an hour.
