A good old conversation is still the fastest way to get the information you need.

Walk into your next meeting with what your customers actually said, rather than with an opinion. A form gives you a score without the reason behind it. Running thirty interviews yourself takes weeks. Raconte runs them for your team and your AI agents.

Craft your prompt

Describe the questions you want to ask. The AI grasps context and adapts on the fly. It writes the title, the intro and the opening question, which you can edit.

Send to your contacts

Send the interview by email or share a link. Each participant can get their own, or a single public link serves everyone at once.

The AI runs the interview

The AI adapts, follows up and listens, so the conversation stays natural. Participants can rephrase, backtrack or pause.

People open up more to an AI than to a person

Researchers at the University of Southern California published the finding in Computers in Human Behavior in 2014. People say more and hold back less once they know a machine is listening, because nobody is there to judge them.

Nobody to impress

Your invitees say out loud what they would soften in front of a person, about a manager, about a price, about a product they dislike.

No slot to book

They answer whenever it suits them, which removes the scheduling that quietly kills most interview studies.

They know it is an AI

Raconte says it in the first sentence, so the openness comes from transparency rather than from a trick.

FAQ

These questions come up most often.

Can I control what the AI asks?

Yes. Your prompt sets everything: goals, topics to cover, tone. The AI stays within that scope and follows up accordingly.

Will the AI hold up in front of my own customers?

Listen to the demo recording on this page and judge for yourself, then run your first interviews on colleagues before you send anything to a customer. Your prompt fixes the scope, Raconte tells every participant they are talking to an AI, and you read the full transcript of each interview afterwards.

How much does an interview cost?

The first 60 minutes every month are free. After that you pay by the minute of active speech, with no commitment, which puts a 10-minute interview at around $1.20. The pricing page has the full breakdown.

Which languages can interviews run in?

English and French, and you pick the language for each interview. Ask us if you need another one.

Do my interviewees need to install anything?

No. The link opens the interview in the browser, so one click is all they need, without an install or an account.

What do I get after an interview?

You get the full transcript, per-message sentiment, replayable audio and aggregated reports, a few seconds after the interview ends. Read them in the UI, or pull them straight into your own tools and AI agents through our developer and agent integrations.
