User Research Screener: Build Forms Fast with Attain OS

Create a UX research screener form faster using Attain OS and its AI agent Atty. Atty drafts the form from your project context—review and ship.

A user research screener is your first gatekeeper. It separates the participants who can give you actionable insights from those who don't fit your criteria. But building a good screener takes time: you need the right questions, clear logic, and a format that's easy for participants to fill out.

With Attain OS, you can skip the blank-page struggle. Start by describing your study in the Forms app, and let Atty draft a polished screener based on your project context. You review, tweak, and publish—all within one operating system that replaces Google Forms, Typeform, and similar tools.

Real-world scenarios

When to reach for a user research screener

Recruiting for a SaaS Beta Test

You're launching a beta for a new project management tool. You need participants who currently use a competitor, have decision-making authority, and can commit to weekly feedback calls. A screener with conditional logic helps you automatically disqualify students or freelancers, saving you manual filtering.

Screening for a Usability Study on an E-commerce Checkout

Your design team wants to test the checkout flow with people who have abandoned a cart in the last 30 days. The screener must capture shopping frequency, device preference, and pain points—without leading the participant. Atty can suggest neutral wording for sensitive questions like income or age.

Finding Participants for a Diary Study on Mental Health Apps

Recruiting for sensitive topics requires extra care. You need participants who self-identify as managing anxiety, use habit-tracking apps, and are willing to journal daily for two weeks. The screener must include trigger warnings and consent confirmations, which Atty can draft based on your project notes.

With Atty

How Atty gets you to a near-finished draft faster

  1. 1
    Describe Your Study in Attain OS Forms

    Open the Forms app and create a new form titled “User Research Screener – [Study Name]”. Write a brief description of your target participant (e.g., “B2B SaaS users who manage a team of 5+”).

  2. 2
    Ask Atty to Draft Questions

    Type a command like “Atty, draft a screener for a usability study on mobile banking. I need to filter for users who bank online weekly and are 25–45 years old.” Atty will pull from your project context (previous studies, brand guidelines) and generate a set of questions.

  3. 3
    Review and Refine the Draft

    Atty outputs a complete form with fields like email, age range, banking frequency, and a text box for “biggest frustration.” You can reorder questions, mark some as required, and add help text. No coding needed.

  4. 4
    Publish and Collect Responses

    Once you're satisfied, publish the form. Attain OS generates a shareable link (no third-party service required). Responses land in your Dashboard and can be reviewed alongside participant profiles in the People app.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I add conditional logic (skip/branching) to my screener in Attain OS?

Attain OS Forms supports basic field visibility rules. If you need more advanced logic, you can describe the conditions in your request to Atty, and it will draft the form with placeholder notes. However, Attain OS does not offer real-time branching like some dedicated survey tools.

How do I share the screener link with potential participants?

Once published, Attain OS provides a direct link you can send via email, WhatsApp (via the Atty Chat integration), or embed in a social media post. There is no third-party integration required.

Can Atty help me write better screening questions?

Yes. Atty can suggest question wording based on your study goals and target demographics. For example, if you need to avoid leading questions, you can ask Atty to rephrase them. Always review the output before publishing.

What happens to the data collected from the screener?

Responses are stored securely within Attain OS. You can view them in the Forms app or link them to participant profiles in the People app. Attain OS does not export data to any third-party tool.
