AI-moderated interviews are 1:1 research conversations where an AI agent asks the questions, listens to open-ended answers, and decides its own follow-ups in real time — the same probing job a skilled human moderator does, run at survey scale.

AI-moderated research is qualitative research where an AI agent — not a human moderator — runs the live conversation with the participant, follows up on vague answers, and produces a transcript and summary that a researcher reviews and synthesizes.
