Learning Goals
Objectives and questions are the backbone of your interview. The AI generates them from your brief, and you have full control to customize.
How Objectives Are Generated
After you submit your research brief, the AI analyzes it and creates 2-5 learning objectives. Each objective represents a distinct area of inquiry — a key theme or topic your research aims to explore.
For example, a brief about checkout drop-off might produce objectives like:
- Understand perceived friction in the checkout flow
- Explore pricing and value perception
- Identify trust and security concerns
Editing and Reordering
The flow builder gives you full control over your study structure:
- Drag and drop to reorder objectives and questions
- Edit inline — click any objective title or question text to modify it
- Add new objectives with the "Add Objective" button
- Add questions to any objective using the "Add Item" dropdown
- Delete any objective or question you don't need
Reordering matters. Questions are asked in the order they appear, so place ice-breaker questions at the top and sensitive topics later in the flow.
Question-to-Objective Mapping
Each question belongs to an objective. This grouping serves two purposes:
- During the interview — the AI understands the context and intent behind each question, producing better follow-up probes
- During analysis — transcripts are organized by objective, making it easy to compare responses across participants for each research goal
AI Question Generation
Questions are generated per objective, calibrated to your study's format and duration:
- Voice studies default to open-ended questions with follow-up probes, since conversational depth is the goal
- WhatsApp studies use a mix of open-ended and structured questions (single-select, rating scales) since participants type responses
- Duration calibration — the AI adjusts the number of questions and follow-up depth to fit your target interview length
You can regenerate questions for any objective at any time, or add your own manually.
Best practice
Aim for 3-5 objectives with 2-4 questions each for a 10-15 minute voice interview. Fewer objectives with more depth usually produce better insights than many shallow ones.
