EthOS is a Human Insights platform that helps companies capture and analyze experiences from the people most important to their business. EthOS gives companies a lens into the everyday lives of their customers, consumers, and employees. By seeing how people interact with products and services in real-world situations, companies are able to identify hidden problems, unearth new opportunities, and better understand the needs of their customers. Picture and video-based tasks allow you to be in-the-moment with participants, and live chat functionality helps you derive deeper understanding through real-time probing. Easily analyze and organize participant entries on Ethos’s intuitive dashboard. Out of the box reports, along with automated transcriptions, sentiment, and tone analysis help you uncover themes and insight more efficiently. EthOS is a simple to use DIY tool, but our team of researchers are available to offer a helping hand or take on full-service projects.

Ethnographic
Observation System
“Fundamentally,
ethnography is about
making the ordinary
extraordinary and
seeing things hidden
in plain sight”
EthOS was developed by Ethnographer Siamack
Salari to help companies make more empathetic
business decisions by giving them a lens into the
everyday lives of their customers, consumers, and
users.
Today, EthOS is a robust qualitative platform that
facilitates discovery and exploratory research
through digital ethnography, mobile diary studies,
and chat-based interviews.
