Sondering

AI-moderated interviews

One interview guide. A real conversation with each person.

Share a link instead of coordinating calendars. Sondering conducts each interview by text, follows the research plan, and adapts its next question to the answer in front of it.

Make an interview
  • No meeting scheduling or researcher account required
  • A consistent objective with respondent-specific probes
  • Text transcripts available as soon as people respond

§ 01

Asynchronous does not have to mean static

Traditional interviews create depth but demand matching calendars. Surveys reach people on their own time but usually cannot clarify an unexpected answer. An AI-moderated interview sits between those formats.

Respondents open a link and answer in a conversational text interface. Sondering can acknowledge an answer, ask what a word means to that person, or request a concrete example before returning to the wider plan.

§ 02

Consistency without a script-reading moderator

Every conversation begins from the same objective, audience, tone, and core questions. That gives the study a shared frame. The follow-up path changes because different people notice different things.

You can review the proposed plan before launch, including the estimated duration and question set. The interview only becomes shareable after you confirm that it matches what you intended to learn.

  • Invite by link or email
  • Choose an interview language
  • Set an automatic expiry
  • Close a study when you have enough responses

§ 03

Know when to keep a human in the room

AI moderation is useful when convenience, consistency, and reach matter. It is not the right default for every topic. Sensitive disclosures, safeguarding concerns, and situations requiring expert duty of care need a qualified human process.

Treat the generated summaries as navigation rather than ground truth. Read the transcripts, examine disagreement, and combine what people say with other evidence before making a consequential decision.

Turn the question into a conversation.
