# NEW: BLUEPRINTER SOFTWARE® UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 2025

## Discover three powerful new AI features in Blueprinter software®—practice Discovery Interviews with Claire, generate Problem Brief Reports for deeper insights, and create AI-driven customer outcomes to accelerate your innovation projects.

We’re always looking for ways to help innovators and teams gain deeper customer insights with greater confidence. With the release of new AI features in Blueprinter software®, we’re excited to introduce three new AI-powered capabilities designed to accelerate your learning, sharpen your interviewing skills, and expand the depth of your discovery.

 

---

#### 1. Practice Discovery Interviews with Claire, the AI Guide

The best way to get better at Discovery Interviews is to practice—and now you can do that anytime, anywhere. With **Claire, your AI coach**, you can role-play a full interview with a synthetic customer.

- Set the stage by choosing your product, customer business type, customer role, and customer job-to-be-done.
- Select an avatar voice and conduct the interview by chat or voice.
- Claire will coach you in real time using AIM’s *WHAT, WHY, CLARIFY* probing methodology.
- At the end, you’ll receive a summary and performance feedback.

Think of it as a safe environment to try new techniques, ask bolder questions, and build interviewing confidence before sitting down with a real customer.

#### 2. Uncover More Detail with the Problem Brief Report

Customer interviews are rich in insight, but often there’s not enough time to probe every problem deeply. The **AI-generated Problem Brief Report** helps fill in those gaps.

- Simply select *Download Problem Brief* on a sticky note and enter your project context.
- AI generates a detailed PDF report, including summaries and expanded details of the problem.

Use it before interviews to anticipate where to probe, or afterward to supplement what you heard. The Problem Brief Report gives you the extra depth you need to prepare, follow up, and see the broader picture.

#### 3. Generate Customer Outcomes with AI

Your goal in Discovery is to build a complete list of customer outcomes—but you don’t have to start from scratch. With the new **AI Generate Outcomes feature**, you can generate potential outcomes directly within Blueprinter.

- Define your product, customer business type, customer role, and customer job-to-be-done.
- Adjust the level of detail with the *Problems to Generate* setting.
- Review the AI-suggested outcomes and “Accept” the ones that fit.

This head start doesn’t replace customer interviews, but it accelerates your learning. You can explore different scopes, test hypotheses, and walk into customer conversations better prepared to validate and prioritize outcomes.

#### Moving Discovery Forward

Together, these three new features—Claire for role-play practice, Problem Brief Reports for richer detail, and AI-generated Outcomes for a head start—make the new AI features to be a powerful upgrade for anyone running Discovery projects.

With these tools, you’ll build skills faster, uncover insights deeper, and move from guesswork to confidence as you design winning solutions.
