Pro Tips

Choose Your AI Tone Strategically - Match your AI interviewer’s tone to your target audience. Formal works well for B2B research, while friendly tones often get better engagement from consumer participants. Screen Sharing Considerations - Only enable screen sharing if you actually need visual analysis. It can make participants nervous and reduce participation rates, but provides valuable behavioral insights when needed. Device Lock-in Trade-offs - While device lock-in prevents fraud, it can frustrate participants with technical issues. Consider your research goals - high-security studies benefit from this, while exploratory research might not need it.
