Learn to create your own AI-led interview with Qualia (“SurveyMonkey, but for stories”)

QualiaInterviews ICON white 2 (lighter background)

Join the team at Causal Mapping at this free learning session where they will present their AI interviewer, Qualia.

Qualia allows you to set up an interview quickly and share the link with between 25 and 100 respondents who can simply click the link to complete their interview. With conversational and exploratory agents, Qualia is far from being like a “chat bot”. Respondents can speak or type their answers, and most seem to enjoy the process. 

Why this topic is important:

In the current climate, problems are getting more complex and funding is often more restricted, but organisations need to reach out to more people.

AI interviewing can help. 

  • You can often use it where you might have used a questionnaire, but it’s much better for emerging and complex situations.
  • You can also use it to scale up conventional interviews.
  • You can reach more people: it can adapt to any common language and people can answer in their own time.
  • It can be really quick to set up (with an AI advisor to help you), deploy and analyse (with an instant overview).

What you will learn:

  • What it feels like to be interviewed by an AI interviewer
  • The variety of use cases
  • How to set up and deploy an interview
  • Qualia and alternatives to Qualia
  • What to bear in mind

Creating an account is free and you get enough free credits to send an interview to about 25-50 respondents; after that it’s £1-2 per interview.
The team will also mention alternatives to Qualia, and will talk about bias and when not to use AI interviews.
