Beyond Surveys. Beyond Focus Groups. Beyond Messaging.
ReChat is a patented platform for designing, running, and analyzing structured discussions with any mix of human and AI participants.
Rechat is used for research at Princeton University
The Story Behind ReChatAI
If you wanted to understand group conversations — not just conversations, but what actually comes out of people talking to each other — you used to have a few bad options.
One option was bringing everyone into the same physical room. That can work, but it's expensive, slow, and a logistical headache. Another was building custom software from scratch. Also expensive. Also slow. And usually way more engineering than the problem deserves. A third option was trying to force regular chat apps to behave like something they're not. They weren't designed for structured group discussions. You can't control how people interact, and you end up with messages instead of usable discussion data. There were also "online focus groups," but most of those only let participants respond to a moderator — not to each other. That's not really a conversation.
The reality is simple: if you want to understand discussions, you need real discussion data — actual back-and-forth exchanges, not surveys or isolated responses.
ReChat started when a Political Science researcher got tired of tools that made simple things hard. Today, it's used by teams and organizations to understand how conversations change minds, test ideas, and shape group decisions. No developer. No installation. Just set up your session and go.
Why Organizations Choose ReChatAI
From research institutions to enterprise teams, organizations trust ReChat to design, run, and analyze structured conversations with the depth, flexibility, and rigor that surveys and messaging tools simply weren't built to deliver.
Create templates once, reuse them across sessions
Create templates once, reuse them across sessions. Build discussion templates with prompts, questions, videos, activities, participant workflows, and moderation settings from a single dashboard. Customize every detail of the experience before each session even begins, so your discussions run exactly the way you intend.
Getting Started Is Simple
Design
Build your discussion template by adding prompts, questions, videos, activities, and moderation settings.
Prepare
Share a link with participants and guide them through a customizable waiting room with screening questions, instructions, videos, or games before the session begins.
Discuss
Launch the live session directly in your browser. Human moderators, AI moderators, or both guide the conversation while administrators monitor activity across rooms in real time.
Analyze
Transcripts, responses, and participation data are captured automatically. The moment the session ends, everything is ready for review, analysis, and export.
AI as a True Participant
ReChat treats AI as more than an add-on feature; it's a participant in the conversation. Use AI to moderate discussions, represent perspectives, or interact directly with other AI agents, giving you new ways to explore, simulate, and understand structured conversation.
- Let AI guide discussions, ask follow-up questions, and keep sessions on track
- Include AI agents alongside human participants to simulate perspectives or test ideas at scale
- Allow AI agents to converse directly with one another, then analyze how they negotiate, align, or diverge
- Blend human insight with AI input in the same session to surface richer, more nuanced outcomes
