An AI-moderated interview is a structured qualitative research method in which an AI system takes on the role of interviewer, asking questions, listening to responses, and following up with contextually relevant probes based on what participants actually say. Within the broader category of AI-moderated research, this approach preserves the conversational depth that defines good qualitative methodology while removing the scheduling constraints and cost overhead that make traditional human-moderated interviews difficult to run at scale. Because sessions run asynchronously, teams can conduct hundreds of interviews in parallel across markets and languages, compressing timelines that once took weeks into a matter of days. The result is qualitative depth at a pace and volume that manual moderation cannot match.
