AI and customer interview scripts: ask better, learn more
Get AI to write interview questions that don't lead the witness.
Builders · AI for Business · ~4 min read
The big idea
Asking 'would you buy this?' gets fake yeses. AI can write open-ended questions that get you the real story behind why people pay (or don't).
Some examples
- Ask AI for 10 non-leading interview questions
- Ask AI to spot when a question presumes the answer
- Ask AI to convert 'do you like X?' into 'tell me about the last time you tried X'
- Ask AI to script the follow-ups when someone says 'I dunno'
Try it!
Pick a product idea. Ask AI for 10 interview questions about your customer's habits — not your idea. Run one interview with a friend and listen.

- 3Check research against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
