Select a pre-built interviewer personality. Each persona has a distinct style, language, and interview specialization. Choose “None” to write a custom system prompt instead.
The AI reads this before every conversation. Define the agent’s role, interview methodology, probing style, and any rules. More specific = more consistent behaviour. Aim for 300–800 words.
The first message participants see when joining. Set the context, reassure them there are no right or wrong answers, and invite them to begin. Keep it under 100 words.
Sonnet — recommended for most interviews: fast responses (~2s), strong reasoning, cost-effective. Opus — highest quality but slower (~4–6s); use for complex, high-stakes research. Haiku — fastest and cheapest; best for simple, structured surveys.
Questions are asked in order. Topic label groups related questions (e.g. “Leadership” or “Tech Adoption”) — shown in transcripts and analysis results. Probing depth (0–5) controls how many follow-up turns the agent asks before moving on (0 = ask once and move on, 3 = default, 5 = deep exploration).
