Get the answers your build actually needs.
Run surveys in Discord, in-game via SDK, or on the web, and get response rates you've never seen before. In-game surveys reach players where they already are. Drill down responses by sentiment, playtime, sign-up source, and any demographic data you collect.
- In-game surveys via Unreal & Unity SDK
- Discord-native surveys with one-click responses
- Web surveys with multi-page support and complex question types
- Freeform answers analyzed by AI
Read every Steam review, every Discord thread, without reading them.
FirstLook clusters every comment by topic, scores sentiment, and trends it over time. Drill into Bugs, Balance, Multiplayer, Monetization, or any custom topic to see exactly what players are saying, and watch it shift as you ship fixes.
- AI-clustered topics from surveys, Steam reviews, and Discord channels
- Per-topic sentiment scoring and trend tracking over time
- Original quote drill-down with Steam and Discord deep links
- Weekly summary reports for the whole team

- Auto-assign Discord roles for Playtester, Press, Beta, Recruit
- Sync server members to your player CRM
- Track sentiment across Discord channels alongside Steam reviews
- Send targeted announcements with live queue status
"Before using FirstLook, our team spent multiple hours manually managing NDAs and distributing Steam keys during our first playtest, which was time-consuming and distracting. FirstLook has not only streamlined that workflow, but upleveled it."
