Qualitative insights at the speed of your business
Conveo automates video interviews to speed up decision-making.
Definition:
A semi-structured interview sits between the rigidity of a structured survey and the open flow of an unstructured conversation, making it one of the most widely used methods in qualitative research. The researcher prepares a topic guide with key questions and themes, but is free to probe further, reorder questions, or follow new directions based on what the participant shares. This balance allows teams to gather comparable data across multiple respondents while still capturing nuanced, contextual insights that closed-ended instruments would miss. In enterprise research, semi-structured interviews are particularly valuable for understanding customer motivations, testing concepts, and exploring complex decision-making processes at scale.
How Conveo Does It
Conveo runs semi-structured interviews at enterprise scale using AI-moderated video interviews that follow a researcher-defined topic guide while dynamically probing for deeper responses in real time. Teams can build and launch a study in under 30 minutes, with synthesised findings delivered in days rather than weeks. Every interview is conducted with real recruited participants, not synthetic respondents or AI-generated avatars, so the insights reflect genuine human experience and are suitable for high-stakes business decisions.
