We're excited to welcome Nancee as Strella's first Researcher! Nancee has spent the past decade+ in the market research industry, honing her expertise across digital solutions driving actionable insights for clients across all industries in her hometown of New York.
When she isn't chatting about design best practices or digging into a dataset, you can find Nancee on a dancefloor / in a concert crowd somewhere, spending precious down time with her loved ones (including her 6 month old nephew), or curled up with either a really good book/some pretty bad television. Welcome to the team Nancee!!
As developers designing tools for other developers, Apollo GraphQL's team had a clear understanding of how their product was supposed to work - but not always how it felt in the hands of users.
Apollo GraphQL needed honest, fast user insights to overcome internal bias and improve their dev tools product experience. That's where Strella comes in.
The result?
⏲️ 3+ weeks of research condensed to hours
🔍 Hidden usability flaws uncovered
☑️ Smarter, de-risked design decisions
“In one of the interviews, the participant flat-out said the designs were terrible, were not valuable, and that they didn’t make any sense. And I felt like if that was done via human interaction, I don’t think we would have gotten that kind of insight.” – Brian Santiago

Quirks NYC was a hit 🎯
Across research & insights teams, we kept hearing the same themes:
1. Everyone’s looking for faster, more scalable ways to turn interviews into action
2. Researchers want the freedom to test and iterate more often - not just when there’s room in the budget
3. Teams want to share insights more easily
Thanks to everyone who dropped by our booth - and to everyone who joined us for deeper conversations off the floor. We met some incredible teams solving hard research problems, and shared how Strella could help them move from insight → decisions, faster.
We’re walking away with a notebook full of ideas and many amazing new connections!

At Strella, we’re all about spotlighting the moments that matter. From the highlight reels we create, to celebrating wins big and small (like this one 🍻), it’s part of who we are. Even our name - Strella, inspired by brightness and illumination ✨ reflects that same spirit
Finding the right participants shouldn’t slow down your research.
With Strella, you can bring your own audience or tap into one of our trusted panel partners.
Our partners follow a rigorous screening process to ensure you get the right people, every time.
Leading questions lead to misleading insights.
Strella’s AI moderation helps you collect clean, unbiased feedback - without awkward phrasing or deviation. Plus, participants tend to be more candid with AI than with a human moderator.
We're excited to announce our next round of updates at Strella! We’ve rolled out a fresh set of features to make Strella easier to navigate, smarter at surfacing insights, and even more aligned with how you run research. Here's what's new:
1️⃣Objective-Level Insights:
In addition to the question-by-question analysis, you can now view insights rolled up by research objective, so you can quickly spot the insights that matter across your whole project.
2️⃣Chat on Every Page + Reason Mode:
Whether you're watching an individual session, diving deep into a research objective, or just exploring your project — your AI research assistant is just a click away. The chat now appears on every page, adapting based on where you are to surface the most relevant, page-specific answers. You can turn any chat response into an instant highlight reel and save it to your insights.
You can also chat with your research on ‘Reason’ mode to dive in deeper into a topic and get the highest accuracy responses!
3️⃣New (and Improved) Navigation:
We’ve reorganized your workspace for clarity and flow. The navigation bar now follows the research journey: Create → Recruit → Results → Report — making it easier and clearer to move from setup to insights.
Sign up for demo to get started and try these new features out for yourself! https://t.co/0Eoy6dWndZ
