Conversational AI platforms like Agent Interviews aren't just a technical novelty; they offer practical solutions for gathering insights across a wide range of business functions. By enabling scalable, consistent, and in-depth conversations, AI interviewers open up possibilities beyond traditional methods.

Let's look at some compelling use cases:

1. Product Feedback & User Research​

This is a primary application. Instead of (or in addition to) surveys, use AI interviewers to:

  • Gather detailed feedback on new features, prototypes, or existing products.
  • Understand usability issues by asking users to describe their experience in their own words.
  • Explore user needs and pain points through open-ended conversational prompts.
  • Conduct beta testing feedback sessions consistently and at scale.

Example Template Focus: "Gather detailed feedback on the usability and design of the new checkout page, focusing on pain points and suggestions for improvement."

2. Candidate Screening (Initial Rounds)​

AI interviewers can handle initial screening conversations, freeing up HR teams:

  • Ask consistent screening questions to all applicants.
  • Assess basic qualifications and experience based on predefined criteria.
  • Evaluate communication skills through the conversational interaction.
  • Provide candidates with a flexible way to complete initial screenings on their own schedule.

Example Template Focus: "Screen candidates for the Junior Developer role by asking about their programming language experience, relevant projects, and salary expectations."

3. Market Research​

Gain qualitative insights into market perceptions or competitor products:

  • Understand customer perceptions of your brand or industry.
  • Gather opinions on potential new product ideas.
  • Ask users about their experiences with competitor products.

Example Template Focus: "Explore user opinions on existing electric scooter rental services, focusing on likes, dislikes, and desired features."

4. Customer Support & Qualification​

Use AI interviewers as a first line of interaction for certain support or qualification tasks:

  • Gather initial details about a customer's support issue before routing them to a human agent.
  • Qualify sales leads by asking initial questions about their needs and budget.
  • Onboard new users by guiding them through initial setup questions.

Example Template Focus: "Gather information about a customer's reported software bug, including steps to reproduce, operating system, and severity."

5. Employee Feedback & Engagement​

Collect internal feedback in a structured yet conversational way:

  • Gather anonymous feedback on company culture or specific initiatives.
  • Conduct standardized exit interviews to understand reasons for departure.

Example Template Focus: "Gather anonymous employee feedback on the recent remote work policy changes, focusing on benefits and challenges."

Getting Started with Your Use Case​

The key is defining a clear Focus and crafting appropriate Core Instructions within an Interviewer Template in Agent Interviews. By tailoring the template, you can adapt the AI interviewer to effectively address any of these scenarios and more.

Think about your own processes – where could scalable, consistent, conversational data gathering make a difference?
