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. 1 ### 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. ![The Raconte new interview screen, with a prompt written in the composer](/.netlify/images?url=_astro%2Fapp-new-interview-en.0fwoB7nK.png&w=1920&h=1200&dpl=6ac650fb6c597e0008010c10) 2 ### 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. ![A participant card in the app, with their single-use link and the email send](/.netlify/images?url=_astro%2Fapp-invitation-en.CcZoly6_.png&w=1920&h=1200&dpl=6ac650fb6c597e0008010c10) 3 ### Your invitees open the invitation One click opens the interview in the browser. Your invitee starts talking right away, without an install, an account or a slot to book. ![The interview page as an invitee sees it, with the intro and the start button](/.netlify/images?url=_astro%2Finvitation-start-en.BSQ6B_DZ.png&w=1920&h=1200&dpl=6ac650fb6c597e0008010c10) 4 ### The AI runs the interview The AI adapts, follows up and listens, so the conversation stays natural. Participants can rephrase, backtrack or pause. ![The live interview screen, with the listening indicator and the question the AI just asked](/.netlify/images?url=_astro%2Fcall-screen-en.DTz31hQ-.png&w=1920&h=1200&dpl=6ac650fb6c597e0008010c10) 5 ### Get transcripts and insights You get the full transcript, replayable audio, a generated summary and per-message sentiment, for every participant. Read them in the UI, or pull them through the API or MCP. ![An interview transcript with its participants, the AI summary and the sentiment timeline](/.netlify/images?url=_astro%2Fapp-transcript-en.BXL6fc9U.png&w=1920&h=1200&dpl=6ac650fb6c597e0008010c10) ## 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. ## A form VS Raconte A form Raconte **The question** ”How satisfied are you with onboarding, 1 to 5?" "Take me back to your first week with the tool. What did you do first?” **What comes back** A 3, and a comment box left empty The story of that week, step by step, including where it got stuck **The follow-up** None The AI asks what happened when things got stuck and how the person got past it **Effort for the person answering** Typing Talking **What you read** A bar chart A transcript, or the themes your agent pulled from it ## Everything you need for interviews that land ### Human-like depth The AI adapts its questions, follows up and listens like a native speaker. ### No appointment needed People click a link and answer whenever it suits them, without booking a slot or trading emails. ### English and French Interviews run in English or French, and you pick the language for each one. ### Transcripts and analysis You get the full transcript, per-message sentiment and aggregated reports, ready to use. ### Audio replay Replay every interview in a polished player, synced word by word to the transcript, with a waveform per answer. ### Conversation you can shape Participants can pause, rephrase, revisit on the fly. ## Automate your interviews [ ### REST API Integrate Raconte from your own code, or wire N8n, Make, Zapier and any automation platform, to trigger interviews and collect transcripts. ](/en/docs/api)[ ### MCP server Let your AI agents send interviews and read transcripts straight from Model Context Protocol. ](/en/docs/mcp)[ ### CLI Drive interviews and invitations from the terminal or an AI agent with `@raconte/cli`.

Silences cost nothing, so a thoughtful pause never shows up on the invoice. ### A 10-minute interview It costs around $1.20. ### A 30-person study It costs around $36. ### Your first study It is free, with 60 interview minutes every month and no credit card. ### For teams The Enterprise plan adds volume discounts, SSO, white-label and an SLA, all detailed on the [pricing](/en/pricing) page. ## 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](/en/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](/en/docs/api) and [agent](/en/docs/mcp) integrations. ## Ready to run your first study?
