We’re introducing a new Product Roundup every other week to keep you in the loop on what’s shipping across Maze – from major capabilities to the smaller improvements that make research faster, smoother, and easier to scale.
Here’s a recap of everything that’s shipped over the past couple of weeks:
AI Moderator Visual Stimulus
AI Moderator can now display images during sessions and discuss them with participants in real time. This expands AI Moderator beyond discovery interviews into use cases like product design testing, concept feedback, and brand evaluation.
Freeform & Structured Goals for AI Moderator
Researchers can now choose between two discussion styles: Freeform Goals for natural exploratory conversations, and Structured Goals for predefined questions asked in a fixed order with configurable probing depth.
AI Moderator repetition & time management improvements
We tuned the AI to reduce redundancy across learning goals and better manage session time. The session timeline now displays a time range instead of a rigid duration to set clearer expectations.
Panel filtering improvements
The panel order filter experience has been redesigned with card-based filters, collapsible value sets, and improved loading behavior for dynamic filters like job role.
Matrix block question type
A new question type that lets researchers evaluate multiple statements against a shared scale in a compact grid — reducing repetition in surveys and making comparative feedback easier to analyze.
Editing unmoderated transcripts
Transcript editing functionality previously available in moderated interviews is now supported in unmoderated studies, allowing researchers to clean up transcripts before analysis.
Simplified editing for live mazes
We removed the warning modal that appeared when editing a published maze. Important safeguards remain in place (block warnings and re-publish confirmation), but the editing flow is now faster and less disruptive.
Shareable filtered results
Filters applied on the Results page are now encoded directly in the URL, so filtered views can be shared via link and collaborators land on the exact same dataset.
That’s it for this roundup — keep an eye out for the next one in two weeks.
