AI-moderated interviews you can describe in a methods section.
You decide which questions get AI follow-ups, how many or for how long, and which model asks them. Participants answer by text or voice. The instrument exports as a PDF with a logic appendix and, if you switch it on, the goal you gave the AI for each interview.
Be the participant
Press the mic and answer as a participant, then judge whether the follow-ups would suit your protocol. The demo is about a consumer product. No sign-up.
Tell me about the first week you taught online. What did you change about how you teach?
Mostly I stopped lecturing. I recorded short videos and used class time for questions, which felt strange at first.
You said it felt strange at first. What made it stop feeling strange?

Your IRB will ask what the AI says to participants.
An AI interviewer writes each follow-up during the conversation, so no two transcripts match word for word. What you can show a reviewer is everything around the conversation. That means the questions, the follow-up setting, the model, your instructions to the AI, and the consent text participants saw.
The questions, logic, consent text and AI instructions export in the instrument PDF. Record the model and follow-up setting from the builder for your protocol. Before anyone real takes part, use Test with AI to run 5 synthetic respondents through the study, paid in AI credits, and read their transcripts yourself.
Five steps, from protocol to export.
- 1
Write or import the protocol
Start from a template, describe the study in plain language, or import a Qualtrics .qsf, XLSForm, Word or PDF file. Mark which questions get the AI interviewer and how far it probes.
- 2
Add consent
Add a consent question with an optional signature pad, or start from an informed-consent template. By default, voice interviews also open with a data-use screen that names the AI providers.
- 3
Recruit
Share the study link with your own sample, or recruit on Prolific from inside QuestionPunk, no Prolific account needed. Prolific's price comes out of your AI credits.
- 4
Interview
Participants answer in the browser, by text or voice. Text interviews stop after a set number of follow-ups (0 to 10), when the AI judges it has enough, or at a time limit. Voice interviews run on a time limit.
- 5
Analyze and export
Code transcripts in Qualitative analysis, check agreement with Cohen's kappa and Krippendorff's alpha, and export a .qdpx project that NVivo and other QDA tools open. Responses export as CSV or Excel.
What participants see, and what gets stored.
Minimize IP and location data
Turn this on for a study and QuestionPunk stops recording IP addresses and location for new and in-progress responses. It keeps IP-derived fields out of AI prompts. Tracking pixels are disabled when the study page loads with this setting enabled; pages already open must reload. It is set per study and off by default. It doesn't erase data already collected, and hosting logs can still see IP addresses. Voice recordings and transcripts are still stored.
Consent
A consent question records agreement and, if you want, a signature. The informed-consent templates are starting points. None is IRB-approved, so your IRB's own wording goes in.
AI data-use screen
Before a voice interview, participants see what is recorded, which AI providers process it, and that they can withdraw by emailing privacy@questionpunk.com. Declining skips the interview and the rest of the survey continues. The screen is on by default for every study.
Deletion and hosting
You can delete a single response with its recordings, a respondent, or your whole account. Nothing is deleted on a schedule, so data stays until you delete it.
CSV for your statistics, QDPX for your coding.
Responses
XLSX · CSVAnswers as labels, numeric codes or both. Fraud flags and their reasons come as columns, and Test with AI responses are labelled as synthetic.
REST API
JSON · CSVUp to 10,000 responses a call, for scripts that pull data into R or Python.
Instrument
PDF · DOCXEvery question with a logic appendix, in any of the study's languages. Switch on AI instructions to include them; they appear in the PDF only.
Qualitative analysis
QDPX · CSV · JSONA REFI-QDA project for NVivo and other QDA tools, CSV exports, agreement statistics and a JSON research record. Open on every plan; AI coding uses credits.
Report
PDF · DOCXAn AI-written report. Pick the Academic style to add Methodology and Limitations sections.
There are no native SPSS or Stata files. Both read the CSV.
Start from a consent form, a protocol or a published scale.
A consent form with a comprehension check, a voice interview guide, the 10-item System Usability Scale, and a list experiment for sensitive questions. Open any of them and edit a copy, no account needed.
