AkquaintX
Overview
AkquaintX is a next-generation professional community platform that connects organizations with verified professionals for authentic insights, research, and collaboration. Beyond research, it functions as a dynamic ecosystem complete with domain-based communities, discussion feeds, gamified participation, rewards, and access to jobs and opportunities. Our studio partnered closely with the AkquaintX team to define the product vision, streamline the user experience, and design an interface that balances depth, trust, and discovery.
Problem
Most platforms that claim to enable “professional insights” end up fragmented, offering surveys without context, communities without credibility, or networks without engagement. Organizations struggle to find genuine, verified voices for research and validation, while professionals lack meaningful spaces to contribute, earn recognition, or grow their influence. The gap was clear: a need for a trustworthy, insight-driven community that values expertise as much as engagement.
Solution
We helped AkquaintX shape a cohesive ecosystem that blends research, community, and rewards into one seamless experience. Our approach combined deep user research with modular UX, enabling professionals to share insights, join topic-based groups, participate in paid studies, and track their credibility through points and levels. For organizations, we built a transparent system to post insight requests, discover relevant audiences, and gather actionable feedback all within a secure, verified network. The result is a gamified, domain-driven platform that redefines how knowledge is exchanged and trusted online, making insight sharing both valuable and rewarding.
