René Studio is a web-based experience design tool for customer experience teams to map journeys, define archetypes, and monitor NPS, CSAT, and CES. Its canvas arranges numbered stages, nested steps, and touchpoints with channels and sentiment scores. Journeys can be displayed in Columns, Swimlane, or Timeline views, with emotional arcs showing sentiment changes, pain points, highs, and neutral areas.

Health monitoring tracks Journey Index Score alongside NPS, CSAT, and CES, with trend indicators and changes over time. Templates cover e-commerce, banking, healthcare, and SaaS. The René Experience Engine mines journeys for a pattern library, recommendations, benchmarks, and warnings. The product also lists service blueprints, emotion mapping, persona profiles, and presentation exports, and its documentation includes an API reference. The free plan costs nothing and includes three journeys, one collaborator per workspace, and 1,000 AI credits per month.
