Pilot Program for
Research Groups

OASIS is new. We're looking for research teams who want to be among the first to deploy AI-powered interviews and who want a direct line to the developer while doing it.

Get in Touch

No forms. Just send an email.

What You Get

  • Hands-on setup support. We help you deploy OASIS on your infrastructure (VM, cloud, or local).
  • Direct access. A private channel to the developer for questions, bug reports, and feature requests.
  • Priority bug fixes. Issues you encounter get fast-tracked.
  • Roadmap input. Help shape which features get built next based on your real research needs.
  • Co-authorship opportunities. If your use of OASIS leads to methodological insights, let's write about it together.

What We Learn

  • Real-world feedback. How OASIS performs outside the developer's own test environments.
  • Edge cases. Unusual OS configurations, network setups, and institutional constraints we haven't seen yet.
  • Use-case diversity. Understanding how different disciplines use conversational AI for data collection.
  • Community seeds. Early adopters become the core of a future open-source community.

Good Fit

Who Is This For?

🎓

Academic Research Groups

Running qualitative or mixed-methods studies and interested in AI-assisted interviewing.

🏛️

Institutions & Survey Labs

Organisations with their own server infrastructure looking for a self-hosted survey tool.

🔬

Methods Researchers

Studying conversational AI itself, including interviewer behaviour, probe quality, or bias detection.

🌍

NGOs & Public Sector

Non-commercial organisations that need data sovereignty and can't use third-party survey platforms.

Process

How It Works

1

Reach Out

Send a short email describing your research context, your team, and what you'd like to use OASIS for. No formal application, just a conversation starter.

2

Quick Call

We'll have a brief call to understand your setup (infrastructure, research design, timeline) and check if OASIS is a good fit right now.

3

Deploy Together

We help you get OASIS running on your infrastructure. You start collecting data. We stay in the loop for support and feedback.

An honest note

This is not a polished enterprise onboarding. OASIS is a young, actively developed project built by a solo researcher. Things may break, documentation may have gaps, and some features are still in progress.

The pilot program exists precisely because of this: to find issues faster, to learn what researchers actually need, and to build something genuinely useful together. If that sounds like your kind of collaboration, we'd love to hear from you.

Interested?

Drop a short email about your research group and what you'd like to explore with OASIS. No commitment, no forms.
