What's in the Interview Report?
Once an interview finishes (usually 5-10 minutes after the last persona wraps), the platform generates a report. This guide walks through what you'll see and where to find each piece.
Where to find it
Open the project from your dashboard ("My Projects" or "Research") → click "View Report." You'll also get an in-app and email notification when it lands. The report stays saved permanently — you can revisit, export, or share it any time.
Interview Chat report
Executive summary — The first thing to read. 3-5 core findings across all personas. Read this to know whether the rest of the report is worth your time.
Per-persona summaries — Each persona gets its own section, typically 300+ words, covering:
- Who they are (demographics, life stage, key context)
- Their reactions to your questions, in their voice
- Specific quotes worth pulling into presentations
- Underlying motivations and decision logic
The quotes are the most reusable part. Most users copy 3-5 of the strongest verbatim lines into slides or memos.
Cross-persona analysis:
- Consensus — Points most personas agreed on
- Divergence — Where personas split and why
- Segments — Auto-clustered groups of personas with similar responses (e.g., "price-sensitive 40%", "health-conscious 40%", "social trendsetters 20%")
Actionable recommendations — Specific suggestions tied to the findings, with expected outcomes. This is usually the most decision-ready section. Recommendations are concrete ("position for morning energy, not afternoon") not vague ("consider your positioning").
Appendix — Full transcripts and the question list, in case you need to verify a quote or trace a finding back to the source.
Discussion Chat report
Discussion summary — Topic, participants, duration, and the high-level takeaway.
Key moments — The most interesting exchanges, especially the moments where a persona changed their mind or two personas directly clashed. These are the most shareable pieces.
Consensus and divergence — Auto-identified lists of what the group agreed on vs. what split them. The "controversy points" section flags the topics that generated the longest back-and-forth.
Viewpoint evolution — Before vs. after, for each persona. Useful for understanding whether your message can change minds. A finding like "3 of 5 personas shifted from skeptical to willing-to-try after hearing arguments from the health-conscious segment" is gold for messaging decisions.
Speaking statistics — Who talked most, who was quiet, who got cited by others. A persistent pattern of one persona dominating is a sign you should rethink your persona mix next time.
Recommendations — Same format as Interview.
How long reports take to generate
5-10 minutes after the last persona finishes. You'll get a notification when it's ready.
Exporting and sharing
The export button is in the top right of the report page. Supported formats:
- Markdown — Best for editing later
- PDF — Best for sharing and archiving
- Word (.docx) — Best if you need to add company formatting
You can also share a read-only link with non-platform users.
What's worth reading first
If you only have 5 minutes, read in this order:
- Executive summary (1 min) — should give you the headline
- Recommendations (2 min) — what's actionable
- 3-5 strongest quotes (2 min) — what real users actually said
If the executive summary doesn't make sense of your research question, the report probably won't either — consider re-running with a clearer objective.
How long reports are saved
Permanently, unless you delete them. The free plan keeps the last 10 reports; paid plans keep all reports.
Common questions
Can I edit the report inside the platform? Not directly. Export to Markdown or Word, edit there, then re-upload if needed (but most users just edit the exported version locally).
Can I generate a new version of the same report? Not automatically. If you re-run the interview with new personas or questions, you'll get a fresh report. Old reports stay.
What if the report seems thin? Usually means the interview was too short or the personas were too similar. Add more personas or pick a more diverse mix next time.
