This User Persona Database helps product teams centralize target audience profiles, connect them to specific products, and track real interview data.
It natively links three core tables—Products, Personas, and Interviews—so you can instantly see which qualitative feedback applies to which audience segment.
Plus, built-in AI fields automatically summarize persona goals, extract key takeaways from interview transcripts, and rate user sentiment effortlessly.
Managing qualitative user research in Excel quickly becomes a headache of endless scrolling, broken links, and disjointed data.
Spreadsheets aren't built for long interview transcripts, attached avatars, or complex multi-table relationships. When you try to link a specific user interview to a persona in Excel, you end up duplicating rows or relying on fragile, messy formulas.
A relational database connects these records seamlessly, allowing you to link dozens of interviews to a precisely defined persona without duplicating data.
This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for—giving your qualitative research a rigid, scalable structure that stays clean as insights grow.
Map your core software products directly to the specific buyer personas and user demographics that rely on them.
Log raw interview transcripts and let Database AI agents automatically extract the top three takeaways and classify user sentiment as positive, neutral, or negative.
Keep everything instantly accessible in one organized workspace, ensuring cross-functional teams always have reliable customer context at their fingertips.
Manage software offerings and track associated user personas by category
Define user profiles with goals and AI-generated summaries of their needs
Log user sessions with AI-extracted takeaways and automated sentiment analysis
