How UserTesting Got 70% of Employees Using AI Weekly | Michael Domanic, UserTesting

In this episode, Michael J. Domanic, VP and Head of AI at UserTesting, reveals how he drove 70%+ weekly AI adoption across the entire company — turning UserTesting into one of the most AI-mature enterprises in the market. Michael shares why most enterprise AI rollouts fail, and the exact playbook he used to get hundreds of employees building custom GPTs and integrating AI into their daily workflows. Michael breaks down how UserTesting moved from Phase 1 (culture change and grassroots adoption) to Phase 2 (agent orchestration and scaled automation), how he built the governance frameworks that let teams experiment safely without creating chaos, and why the companies that treat AI adoption as a culture problem — not a technology problem — are the ones winning. He also shares his honest take on why AI projects consistently miss expectations and what leaders need to do differently in 2026.
