AI Discussion Guide Generator
Generate interview discussion guides with sections, probes, and moderator notes tailored to your research objective.
Why Discussion Guides Matter
Great interviews rarely come from a loose list of questions. They come from a deliberate guide that sets context, creates a natural arc, balances open exploration with targeted probes, and helps moderators stay consistent across sessions.
What This Generator Helps With
- Structure: Build a clear session flow from intro to wrap-up.
- Coverage: Make sure the guide touches the decision areas you actually need evidence for.
- Consistency: Give every moderator the same baseline so synthesis is easier later.
From Guide to Insight
The guide is only the beginning. After the sessions are complete, the time-consuming part is turning conversations into themes, evidence, and decisions. Innerview helps teams analyze those interviews without getting stuck in manual notes and scattered synthesis docs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the discussion guide generator create?
It creates a structured discussion guide with an intro script, four interview sections, suggested questions, moderator notes, and wrap-up prompts. The output is designed to be practical enough for live moderation while still giving you room to follow interesting threads naturally.
Is a generated discussion guide ready to use as-is?
It is a strong starting point, not a finished script for every context. You should still adjust the guide for participant vocabulary, sensitive topics, time constraints, and the level of context participants already have about the product or concept.
When should I use a discussion guide instead of just a list of questions?
Use a discussion guide when the session needs structure. A list of questions can work for lightweight exploratory chats, but a guide is better when several moderators are involved, when the study needs consistency across interviews, or when you have to balance coverage with flexibility.
