Launch your study

Your questions, our answers

The AI adapts its questions in real time based on what the respondent just said: it reformulates, prompts on a vague point, digs into a contradiction, or deepens an expressed emotion. You set the objectives and the tone in advance, the AI constructs the interview guide and conducts each conversation uniquely.

The configuration consists of three fields: the context of your study (who, what, why), your research objectives (the key questions the study must answer), and the interview instructions (tone, formality, brand-specific vocabulary). The AI then automatically generates the interview guide.

This is precisely the role of the "interview instructions": you can ask the AI to use formal address, utilize your brand's vocabulary, adopt a formal or casual tone, or avoid certain terms. This is particularly used by premium brands and luxury houses that have specific communication codes.

A classic focus group gathers 8 to 10 people in person for 2 hours: it's rich but slow, expensive, and prone to group biases. AI Chat conducts individual interviews with 50 to 100 respondents in 1 to 2 days, without a human moderator, achieving comparable depth and greater richness of verbatims since each respondent expresses themselves without influence from others.

Qualitative results are displayed on the Interviews page: a summary table of all conversations, with each including an individual profile of the respondent, the Key Highlights generated by the AI, notable verbatims, and access to the full conversation. Filters and automatic recodes allow analysis by subgroup in a few seconds.
