Create Your First Interview

SettingBehavior
LowThe AI moves on after a short acknowledgment
MediumThe AI probes once or twice before continuing
HighThe AI digs deep, asking several follow-up questions

Choose Text or Voice Mode

In the interview settings, select the default conversation mode:
  • Text mode — Respondents type their answers. Works in every browser with no special permissions.
  • Voice mode — Respondents speak and listen using their microphone. Produces an audio recording alongside the transcript.
You can also set the mode to Respondent’s choice, letting each person decide how they’d like to communicate when they open the link.
4

Share the Link

Once your interview is saved, copy the public interview URL from the dashboard. It takes the form https://listen.land/i/[interview-id]. Send it to your respondents however works best — email, Slack, a support ticket, your website, or a printed QR code. Respondents do not need a ListenLand account to participate.
5

Review Your Responses

Return to your dashboard at any time and click into any completed conversation. From there you can:
  • Read the full transcript of the AI-led conversation
  • Play back the audio recording (Voice mode interviews)
  • Read the AI-generated summary highlighting key themes and takeaways
Each conversation also has a shareable transcript URL at https://listen.land/c/[conversation-id], which you can send to teammates who don’t have a dashboard account.
Each conversation has a maximum duration of 20 minutes. The AI interviewer will wrap up naturally as the session approaches the limit.
Start with 3–5 focused questions. The AI will naturally probe deeper based on your follow-up depth settings — you don’t need to over-engineer the question list.
