Unlocking Efficiency & Depth with AI: Launching Our Comprehensive Report on AI-Augmented Research

Over the past few months, the VaporAviator team has been exploring a critical question for today’s researchers: How can we reshape the user and market research workflow through AI?

Today, we’re proud to officially publish our full report: Comprehensive Report on AI-Augmented User and Market Research Workflows — a practical guide to integrating AI into every stage of the research process

Why This Report?

Working with early-stage AI and Web3 startups, we’ve repeatedly encountered the same challenges:

• Scattered information and low research efficiency

• Repetitive manual work in surveys, personas, and interview guides

• Research design overly reliant on individual experience

• Traditional workflows failing under fast iteration cycles

With the rapid advancement of AI tools—especially LLMs—we saw an opportunity to rethink the entire research paradigm.

What’s Inside?

This report breaks down AI’s real-world performance across four key research modules:

• Information Gathering & Trend Scanning – How tools like Perplexity and Elicit help build early-stage knowledge frameworks

• Methodology & Survey Design – Using Claude and Typeform Copilot to accelerate research strategy and tool generation

• Unstructured Data Analysis – How AI extracts insights from interviews, feedback, and open-ended responses

• Content Writing & Output Structuring – From draft generation to narrative organization using LLMs and tools like Notion AI

We’ve also documented the risks—like hallucinations and cultural blind spots—and offered suggestions for mitigating them in practice.

Who Should Read This?

• Independent researchers & UX teams seeking faster research kickoff and structured ideation

• Growth & marketing teams looking to test hypotheses, generate personas, and automate tool creation

• Designers, strategists, and operators exploring AI-assisted workflows in real client or product scenarios

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. We’ll be releasing additional content in the coming weeks—tool comparisons, scenario demos, implementation guides, and more. Stay tuned for the next sessions in this research series.
