Ever feel like your team is spending more time wrestling with admin than uncovering actual strategic insights? We’ve been there.

As research scales, operational friction often scales with it. That is why we built Netizen Labs—an AI-powered research ally designed to banish the busywork. By engineering a dedicated processing pipeline with automated transcription and sentiment tagging, we shifted our focus back to what matters: understanding users.

Our automated workflow achieved significant improvements:
✦︎ 50% of researchers’ admin time reclaimed
✦︎ 5 days of project turnaround speed gained
✦︎ 1-hour videos analyzed in just 10 minutes

This spotlight on Netizen Labs is part of a series of case studies showcasing what Netizen has worked on whether on our own or with clients in the past. We will be sharing more deep dives down the line, but if you are curious to see more right now, head over to our website to check out our other case studies!

Vibe coding = real engineering? The Monash University students have spoken! 🧾

We loved looking at the final tally from our sticker poll yesterday. While the "Disagree" camp definitely showed up and made their mark, the absolute center of gravity was packed into the "Agree" and "Neutral" zones.

This shows such an interesting shift in the landscape! Many upcoming engineers are fully embracing the vibe, while a huge group is keeping an open mind right in the middle. The definition of engineering is undoubtedly expanding.

If you were there, where would you have put your sticker? Drop your take below! 💬

Who says career fairs have to be boring? Not us! 🎉

Yesterday, August 3rd, Teh Yu Wei, Amar, and Soon Chen Yew took our tech team’s energy straight to the Mind Engine Expo 2026 at Monash University. We loved connecting with future tech talents and debuting some brand-new interactive activities at our booth!

Students got to test their UX knowledge on the spot with a game created by Soon (shoutout to everyone who found all 8 mistakes in an average of 3 minutes 54 seconds!). We also brought a sticker poll board to get an opinion on a highly debated statement: "Vibe Coding is real engineering." The verdict? We’ll share more about it in our next post!

Huge appreciation to the Mind Engine Expo organizers and volunteers for making it all happen.

If you only look at polished portfolios and case studies, you’d think the production journey to making a great product is a perfectly straight, beautiful line from idea to launch. 😅

Behind every beautiful, seamless app is what we like to call the "Messy Middle."

You know the phase; it’s where early wireframes are ugly, user testing completely breaks your initial assumptions, and your working file is tragically named “𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭_𝘷4_𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘜𝘈𝘓_𝘍𝘐𝘕𝘈𝘓.”

We actually touched on this recently when we shared Megan’s story about navigating the AI boom. Remember the part where she was completely drowning in placeholder copies, messy Figma layers, and overwhelming tech hype? That is the Messy Middle in action!

As an agency that handles everything from UX research to engineering, we’ve learned that you simply can't build great products without wading through this chaos. The unglamorous, frustrating work is where the actual problem-solving happens.

We all have a phase of the production journey that we secretly dread, but absolutely rely on to get the job done. What does the 'Messy Middle' look like in your specific role?

Think back to when you first had to start using AI in your own workflow—how did you feel, and how did you overcome that initial hurdle?
