# April 2026

*This month, we’re making it easier than ever to go from question to insight—fast. From the launch of Dscout AI Studio to smarter ways to evaluate experiences, these updates are all about helping you spend less time wrangling research and more time learning from it.*

## What's new?

### Introducing Dscout AI Studio

We're excited to introduce Dscout AI Studio, your new home for agentic AI tools that help teams get answers faster than ever. Think of it as your always-on research partner: describe what you need, and AI handles the heavy lifting, from designing your study to analyzing your data and everything in between.

Inside **AI Studio**, you can:

* [**Draft your study**](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/47158744586772-Draft-a-study-with-Dscout-AI): Simply describe what you're trying to learn, and the AI will generate a ready-to-run study design.

* **Run AI-moderated studies (beta)**: Launch your research as a dynamic unmoderated or fully AI-moderated study and start collecting responses in hours, not days.

* [**Explore your data**](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/40736232050964-Explore-your-data): Ask the AI to comb through your data and uncover insights, patterns, and "aha!" moments in real time.

### Tree testing

[Tree testing](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/44357959976468-Tree-testing-questions) is now available in media surveys and usability tests. Use it to evaluate your navigation structures and see exactly where participants succeed, or get stuck, when looking for information. It's a fast and flexible way to evaluate or design smarter structures.

### Explore your data in interviews

[Ask questions](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/40736232050964-Explore-your-data), uncover themes, and spot patterns across transcripts from your moderated interviews, all in a natural, back-and-forth flow with Dscout AI. Skip hours of manual review and move faster, without losing connection to the source.

### Redesigned analysis navigation

We've given the analysis navigation a refresh. The new left-side menu in media surveys, usability tests, and intercept studies makes it easier to move between views and find what you need, so you spend less time clicking around and more time on insights.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/product-updates/2026/april-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
