I'm Mostafa, a product designer who spent years running user research in the MENA market and every single study meant juggling five different tools: Calendly to schedule, Zoom to record, Otter to transcribe, Notion to write notes, Miro to map themes. Five subscriptions, five logins, and none of them handled Arabic properly.
So I built Circle Panel the AI-native platform that runs your entire user research workflow in one place.
Here's what it does
AI Study Builder Describe your research goal in one sentence. Circle Panel generates your full study plan, discussion guide, and screener questions grounded in proven frameworks, not generic AI output.
I'm Mostafa, a product designer who spent years running user research in the MENA market β and every single study meant juggling five different tools: Calendly to schedule, Zoom to record, Otter to transcribe, Notion to write notes, Miro to map themes. Five subscriptions, five logins, and none of them handled Arabic properly.
So I built CirclePanel β the AI-native platform that runs your entire user research workflow in one place.
Here's what it does π
π§ AI Study Builder β Describe your research goal in one sentence. Circle Panel generates your full study plan, discussion guide, and screener questions β grounded in proven frameworks, not generic AI output.
π― Recruit & Screen β Share a branded booking link. Participants self-schedule and get auto-screened by your criteria. No spreadsheets, no back-and-forth.
ποΈ Record & Transcribe β Run moderated interviews. Sessions transcribe automatically in Arabic and English β including code-switching mid-sentence, which no other tool handles.
π·οΈ Tag & Analyze β Highlight any moment and tag it with 20 predefined research themes. Consistent analysis across every study, every researcher.
π Share Insights β AI surfaces patterns across sessions and ranks them by severity. Generate a shareable report anyone can open with one link β no login required.
Why we're different π
Every research tool was built in English, for English-speaking markets. Circle Panel is the first built natively for Arabic and English β with proper transcription, RTL support, and 20 Arabic analysis themes.
And unlike tools that just bolt AI onto the side, we ground AI in real user data β verified participants, real sessions, quality-checked responses. Not routine form-filling.
Pricing πΈ
Starter $29/mo
Pro $49/mo
Business $119/mo
Coming soon π β prototype testing, surveys, and a participant panel of vetted experts.
We'd love your feedback β try it free at circlepanel.com and tell us what's missing. Every comment shapes what we build next. π
arabic first user research is a real gap, nice one π are you planning more languages next?
@petrkovacikΒ Thanks
Sure in our plans we will support other languages
the Arabic/English code-switching transcription is the real differentiator here, that's a genuinely hard problem most tools just ignore by assuming one language per session. question on the 20 predefined research themes for tagging - are those fixed across all studies or can a team redefine their own taxonomy? we ran into this at Dial where our own "theme" categories for customer call feedback didn't map cleanly onto whatever a generic tool shipped with, and forcing our data into someone else's 20 buckets lost signal we actually cared about
Hey Mostafa ! the Arabic and English both working here is what caught me. I've lived the tab juggling during interviews and it always cost me the good quotes. Nice one.
This looks really useful, especially having the full research workflow in one place. Love that Arabic support is built in from day one. Congrats on the launch Mostafa π
