Why AI avatars outperform older automated interview formats
Conducts and understands interviews in over 100 languages, dialects, and accents.
Asks every participant the same way, with no interviewer drift or fatigue.
Runs 24/7 on demand, so participants join whenever it suits them.
People often open up more candidly with an AI than with a person.
Follows up on interesting answers and adapts the guide in real time.
Reads visual and emotional signals to respond naturally and sensitively.
Collects deep qualitative data from many participants at a fraction of the cost.
Everything you need to design, run, and scale rich AI-moderated interviews
Configure each study as a single-link mixed methods experience where participants answer structured survey questions before receiving a targeted 5 to 10 minute AI-moderated probe, or run a full 60 minute semi-structured interview that explores participant experiences, motivations, emotions, and decision-making in greater depth.
Present research stimuli such as product concepts, claims, images, videos, advertisements, packaging, prototypes, or messages, then let the avatar ask natural follow-up questions that capture first impressions, emotional reactions, comprehension, appeal, relevance, preferences, and the reasons behind each response.
Set the avatar’s probing depth, tone, language complexity, and conversational style, from light clarification to deeper exploration and from simple, warm language to more technical or domain-specific moderation, so every interview feels natural while collecting the right level of qualitative depth.
Choose strict, balanced, or flexible topic control so the avatar can stay closely aligned to your interview guide, allow useful natural detours, or gently steer participants back when they become irrelevant, repetitive, too brief, or move away from the research question.
Integrate the interview flow with your panel provider, recruitment process, fieldwork operations, website, app, survey tool, or research platform so participants can move smoothly from invitation to screening to interview without manual coordination.
Define your research goals, interview guide, target topics, and moderation preferences, then let the avatar decide when to ask for clarification, examples, reasons, comparisons, emotional reactions, or deeper explanation without requiring you to manually program every branch, skip rule, or follow-up question.
Let participants join from any compatible mobile or laptop device, and enable audio-only mode when a weak connection is detected so the interview remains accessible, smooth, and easier to complete even in lower-bandwidth settings.
Add brand names, technical terms, acronyms, local phrases, participant vocabulary, or pronunciation guidance so the avatar can better understand what participants say and speak key words more naturally during the interview.
Add eligibility questions, qualification criteria, consent checks, quotas, and screening rules so only the right participants enter the AI-moderated interview and your final dataset remains relevant, high-quality, and ready for analysis.

The conversation went well. I am very positive about the experience.
I'd like to talk to a chatbot again in the future.
It seems to have worked well.
Mainly curiosity and maybe a little aspiration for the census.
I really liked it.
Curiosity, interest, excitement.
Sometimes the avatar reacted too quickly, not giving me time to gather my thoughts and finish my sentence.
Nothing in particular, maybe some irritation at times when the conversation wasn't moving forward.
