About the Customer

Suno is an AI music company that makes it possible for anyone to create original songs instantly. Its platform generates complete tracks — including lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation — from simple text prompts, giving both casual users and professionals an accessible way to produce music without traditional skills or equipment.


The Challenge

Suno was preparing to launch a new feature, Hooks —- short, catchy music moments designed for discovery and remixing. The team needed to validate both the concept and multiple design variations. Traditional research methods were too slow: running live usability studies for each iteration would have taken weeks of scheduling, note-taking, and synthesis, delaying a high-priority feature launch.


The Solution

Suno partnered with Dialogue to help solve some of these problems. Dialogue's platform conducted AI-moderated interviews with participants, walking them through the Hooks intro screen and multiple designs. Each participant was asked to interpret the UI, explain expectations, and compare versions. Dialogue AI automatically structured insights, highlighting comprehension issues, preferences, and usability gaps.

Using Dialogue, Suno's team gathered detailed qualitative feedback on multiple feature designs in under 48 hours, without tying up their research staff.


The Results

  • Research bandwidth saved: Suno’s design team was able to run research independently using Dialogue’s best practices, allowing their research team to focus on other strategic priorities
  • Time saved: Reduced a multi-week manual research process into 2 days of turnaround
  • Business impact: Provided clarity on which Hooks design their users preferred — directly influencing launch decisions

Customer Quote

It's been game changer for us on design, product, and research at Suno. We've been able to get way more qualitative feedback and help accelerate decisions being made on the product. It's freed up lots of people's time. For example, research would actually sit through multiple 30m studies taking up most of their day. This is for one single study on a specific feature which feels slow. Dialogue has unlocked multiple studies around different features designers are working on. It feels like our team grew and a big weight off our shoulders. We're loving the product! 🔥
