Users First AI helps research teams cut through the operational noise by integrating AI into their workflows — so researchers can stop drowning in logistics and get back to the high-impact work that only they can do.
We meet your team where they are — and build from there.
We audit how your research team spends its time, identify where AI can absorb the repetitive and operational load, and build a practical roadmap so your researchers can focus on the strategic, generative work that moves your organisation forward.
Hands-on sessions designed specifically for research practitioners. We don't just introduce AI tools — we help your team develop critical judgment about where AI helps, where it falls short, and how to maintain research rigour throughout.
We partner with your team to build and embed AI-powered research workflows — from recruitment and synthesis to reporting — freeing up capacity to tackle the big, complex research problems that require deep human expertise.

Paige Bennett is a research leader and AI consultant with over a decade of experience building and running high-performing research teams at some of the world's most influential technology companies — including Affirm, Dropbox, and Medium.
Before moving into tech, Paige conducted field research across the Middle East — an experience that shaped her belief that understanding people in their real context is the foundation of everything. That perspective has guided her work ever since.
As Director of Research at Affirm, Paige led a multi-disciplinary research organisation and pioneered AI research workflows that became a model for the industry. She has shared that work as an invited speaker at over 15 global conferences, including the Experience Research Summit, 99u, and the Global Fintech Design Summit.
Paige founded Users First AI to help research teams do what she's spent her career doing: cut through the noise, operate with focus, and dedicate their energy to the big research problems that only skilled, curious humans can solve.
Whether you have a specific challenge in mind or want to explore how AI could transform your research team's capacity, Paige would love to hear from you.
