unitQ vs Dovetail FAQ
Less than the labels suggest. Dovetail organizes research humans conduct; unitQ generates and analyzes feedback continuously and runs interviews itself. They collide when a team asks whether to scale research with more repository seats or with AI moderation.
It replaces the analysis and retrieval half — everything ingested is classified, searchable, and queryable by AI agents. It doesn't replicate researcher-curated insight pages, so teams that produce interpreted studies may still want a curation layer.
Dovetail analyzes sessions after they happen; moderation stays a human job. unitQ Research conducts the sessions itself, designed to probe with live AI follow-ups.
