How it works

From question to evidence in three steps

You define the research objectives. We handle everything else.

1

Design

We work with you to shape a semi-structured interview protocol — topics, pathways, follow-up logic — tailored to your research questions.

2

Interview

Our AI conducts interviews via WhatsApp — adapting follow-ups in real time, probing the whys, and letting participants respond by text or voice at their own pace.

3

Deliver

You get structured insight — themes, segments, verbatims — ready to inform product decisions, policy, or strategy.

Why WhatsApp

Meet people where they already are

  • Higher response rates. Participants engage on a platform they use every day — no app downloads, no unfamiliar interfaces.
  • Richer answers. Text or voice, at their pace. No scheduling, no awkward silences. Participants give longer, more candid responses.
  • Hard-to-reach demographics. Reaches populations that traditional surveys and Zoom calls miss — lower-income, older, digitally excluded, or disengaged consumers.
  • No interviewer bias. AI follows the protocol consistently across every conversation. No leading questions, no fatigue effects.

What our clients say

Trusted by researchers and consultancies

"The transcripts read like thoughtful conversations between humans, with the AI successfully employing appropriate follow-up questions and genuine curiosity.
We believe this approach unlocks a richer vein of consumer insight."
Tony Harbron
Founder, Growth Guides
"We were surprised by the level of engagement that participants had during the interviews, with responses having high levels of both depth and detail.
This led to us decreasing the quantity and duration of human-led interviews, as we felt that we had rapidly reached a saturation point."
M. W.
Analyst, Nesta
