How the AI Study Builder works
Describe your research
Tell Convo what you want to learn in plain language. You can also upload an existing discussion guide (PDF or text) and Convo converts it automatically.
Review the discussion guide
Convo generates topics, questions, and follow-up probes. Edit anything that doesn’t feel right.
Set up your screener
Convo suggests screener questions based on your goals. Add, remove, or tweak them.
Configure settings
Pick session duration (anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes), group size, and customize the welcome screen.
Tips
- Start with the AI builder. You can always edit the generated guide afterward. It’s faster than building from scratch.
- Be specific about what you want to learn. “How do people feel about our onboarding?” gives better results than “tell me about users.”
- Don’t over-scope. One clear research question per study. If you have three, run three studies.
Study lifecycle
Once you launch, your study moves through four stages:| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft | Still being designed. Edit anything. |
| Active | Live. Participants can join, sessions can run. |
| Completed | Sessions are done. Results available. |
| Archived | Stored for reference, no longer active. |
