Quest Research Integrates AI Research Products into "Cork" Series, Establishing a Seamless Qualitative and Quantitative Research System
Quest Research, an AI research solutions provider, announced on April 14, 2026, the rebranding and integration of its AI product suite, covering both qualitative and quantitative research, into the new "Cork" series. The AI qualitative research product "qork" has been renewed as "Cork Interview," and the AI survey analysis tool "Koemiru" as "Cork Survey." This aims to establish a new system capable of seamlessly providing qualitative and quantitative research. "Cork Interview" has over 8,000 cumulative interviews and has undergone updates such as large-scale parallel processing for over 100 simultaneous AI interviews, a dictionary function, and an LLM model refresh. A case study with SSRI Co., Ltd. was also released. "Cork Survey" has over 1,200 cumulative achievements and features AI automatic checks during questionnaire creation, delivery of results within a minimum of 2 business days, and MCP integration. The integration of both products strengthens the linkage from quantitative surveys to qualitative interviews.

"Cork Interview," with over 8,000 cumulative AI interviews, has been continuously updated based on user needs. Recent updates include:
- Large-scale parallel processing: Over 100 AI interviews can be conducted simultaneously, supporting large-scale Voice of Customer (VoC) collection.
- Dictionary function: Pre-registration of industry terms and proper nouns prevents variations in notation and reduces analysis effort.
- LLM model refresh and voice function enhancement: Updates to the latest models and improved voice narration achieve more natural dialogue and highly accurate automatic transcription.
A case study of "Cork Interview" adoption by SSRI Co., Ltd., a major medical research company, has been released.
"Cork Survey" allows respondents from quantitative surveys to be directly guided to "Cork Interview" via API, enabling deeper exploration of the "why" behind quantitative trends. Key features include:
- Intuitive design and AI automatic checks: AI detects question bias and logic flaws before distribution while creating questionnaires with an intuitive interface.
- Delivery of results immediately after completion: Distribution, collection, and cross-tabulation are completed in one stop, with delivery within a minimum of 2 business days.
- MCP integration: Seamless connection with external AI tools automates and streamlines analysis. Accumulated research data is referenced by AI, improving design and analysis accuracy with each survey.
Combining "Cork Survey" with "Cork Interview," which has over 1,200 cumulative achievements, enables end-to-end research—grasping trends quantitatively and delving into causes qualitatively—to be completed solely within the "Cork" series.
