For Research Participants: Using a Research Study Link

If someone has shared an Agent Interviews research study link with you, here's what you can generally expect when you click on it to participate in qualitative research.

Starting the Research Session​

  1. Click the Link: Open the unique URL provided to you in your web browser.
  2. Welcome/Consent: You might see a welcome screen introducing the AI research agent and explaining the purpose of the qualitative research session. You may be asked to provide consent to proceed or agree to terms (like recording or data usage for research purposes).
  3. Enter Information (Optional): Sometimes, you might be asked to enter your name or email address before starting the research study.
  4. Connect: Follow the prompts to connect to the research session. This might involve granting microphone access to your browser if it's a voice-based research interview.

The Research Conversation​

  • Interaction: You will interact with an AI research agent. It might be voice-based (you talk, it talks back) or text-based.
  • Purpose: The AI will guide the qualitative research conversation based on the research goals set by the person who created the research agent (e.g., asking for feedback, conducting market research interviews, gathering insights about a topic).
  • Natural Language: Speak or type naturally, as you would in a normal research conversation.
  • Ending the Session: The AI might conclude the research conversation when its research objectives are met, or there might be a button or command for you to end the session.

Technical Tips​

  • Browser: Use a modern web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).
  • Microphone: If it's a voice interview, ensure your microphone is working and you've granted permission.
  • Connection: A stable internet connection is recommended.

Privacy​

  • The person or organization that sent you the link controls how the data from your conversation is used.
  • Review any privacy policies or consent forms presented before you start the interview.

If you encounter any issues, please reach out to the person or organization who provided you with the interview link.
