Hello ProductHunt! Super excited to share what Arindam and myself have been working on. We built AskMore because we were struggling to get feedback on our side projects. User interviews are great, but finding participants willing to commit to a call is hard and scheduling can often take ages. It's much easier and faster to get answers with online surveys, but that only works for basic questions and not when you need to adapt to answers and dig deeper. That's how we got the idea of using AI to make user interviews as easy as sharing a survey link. 1️⃣ You just tell AskMore what you're trying to learn, and it will generate an interview link that you can share with your users or leads. 2️⃣ On this link, they'll get interviewed by an AI that will follow user research best practices and dig deeper to make sure you get the insights you need. 3️⃣ You then get a comprehensive report with all the findings as well as all the interview transcripts. 🎁 To thank you for your support, you'll get 10 free participants on sign up and a -50% discount if you want to buy more participants with the code PH50DISCOUNT. 👉 Simply create an account on https://askmore.ai/app It's still very early so your feedback would be super valuable. Thank you so much!

@zmiro Just tried the product - it's amazing. It's not hallucinating off track. It's asking the right questions and summarizing really well. Congratulations on a great product. Adding it to my Stack!

@aakrity_madhan Thank you so much! We worked a lot to get the AI to stick with the research setup!

Hey ProductHunt community! 🚀 Building upon what Julien shared, we took AskMore for a spin ourselves before bringing it to you. We were our first testers, generating an AskMore interview to see the kind of insights we'd gain. Our testing showed that it could provide useful insights, which encouraged us to open it up to a few more users. The early responses have been promising. Now, we're bringing AskMore to this community to gather broader feedback. We're interested in hearing about your experience and areas where we can improve. Thanks for checking it out.

Really smart product! Congrats for the launch! Looking forward to the moment when I receive an askmore.ai link from a random connection for the first time!

Very cool! can it work as a slack bot?

@sentry_co Hey André! Not yet, we haven't really thought about that to be honest. What kind of interviews would you like to run on Slack?
André J
@zmiro I never to questionnaires. But this tool would be great as a slack bot. Also there could be some public recognition. Like thank you userX for completing the questionnaire. published in a public channel etc.

@sentry_co Public recognition is super interesting yeah. Actually we have a few users that seem to have "internal use cases" where they'll run interviews inside the company. A Slack bot could definitely help for that. Thanks a lot for the suggestion André! Let me know if there's anything else.
David Newell
Scheduling interviews is one of the most time consuming yet high value tasks in a startup. Would honestly love a tool like this that can continuously run in the background and get even better insights that I would myself. The logo is stellar ✨

AskMore is a game-changer for user research! 🙌 As a fellow side project enthusiast, I totally get the struggle. This tool makes user interviews a breeze – just share a link, and let the AI do its magic. The comprehensive reports are gold! Plus, the 10 free participants and PH50DISCOUNT are sweet perks. Can't wait to see where AskMore goes! 🌟

@tanjirrahman Thank you so much Tanjir! It's cool to see that it resonates with people building side projects like you!

Love the idea!! I think it's so much better than all the static surveys that don't capture everything or dig deeper into questions. Congrats on the launch! 🚀 And how is this not #1 yet??

@dennis_aronov Thanks Dennis! We have so many ideas in mind, we're really eager to see how people will use it to guide us. Some of the directions we're considering are ways to make it easier to recruit participants directly from AskMore, adding some "enterprise" features like shareable reports, expanding on new types of interviews like usability testings etc. Let us know what you think would be interesting if you end up giving it a try! Super curious to learn what you think.
AskMore's approach to user interviews is innovative. The idea of AI-generated interview links is intriguing. I'm curious to know, what inspired you and Arindam to combine AI with user research? Wishing you success with the launch!

@ricardo_luz Hey Ricardo! This is a great question. It basically came from our own need. We were exploring other side project ideas and we wanted to validate our assumptions. We tried to run user interview but that was a struggle (low reply rate, huge delays to get on an actual call). We then considered running a survey to reach more people faster, but we quickly realised our questions required to adapt to the user answers and to dig deeper. That's at this moment that my friend Arindam suggested the idea of using AI to build "smart surveys".
Jake Harrison
Upvoted! I really admire the problem-solving approach you've taken here. The functionality seems spot-on. With my experience running AffordHunt, I'd love to give your tool a special spotlight. Have you thought about listing it on AffordHunt.com? What was your biggest challenge in developing this product?

@jakeharr Thanks a lot Jake! We'll definitely have a look at AffordHunt, seems like a super interesting concept for an app like ours. I'd say our biggest challenge has probably been building with AI in my opinion (Arindam might have a different answer!). We spent a lot of time crafting the different prompts we use in AskMore and it's really time consuming to test different versions of the prompts, measure the impact etc. There's just no real toolkit for people building on top of AI yet.

Tested out the beta for this and was really really impressed, after a couple of questions you forget you’re talking to an AI at all and it just feels natural

Una Kehoe
I was lucky to be an early tester of AskMore. What I've found is that I can focus on the goal of the survey, rather than getting stuck in the wording, which sped up getting the feedback I needed. I was curious how good it would be at interacting and getting the information I needed and it was spot on; dug in whenever needed to clarify the person's feedback. This is something I find lacking with traditional surveys. I'm a small business renaming services to better fit with client expectations so having the ability to see the client's thought process meant I could adjust better.

Alden DoRosario
Just tried it out - the demo worked spectacularly well and was super simple to execute. One idea I’m going to try: Use this app and then distribute the link on Amazon Turk to get mass feedback - eg : Getting feedback from 500 random people on a topic ..

@alden_dorosario Hey Alden! Really glad you enjoyed the demo! We spent a lot of time crafting our prompt so the AI would feel nice.
Alden DoRosario
@zmiro you will definitely need to give the customer (the person creating the interview) control on the “custom instructions” to satisfy the paying customers (might have to support GPT-4 too as a premium service)
Julien Zmiro

@alden_dorosario We're actually already running on GPT4! And you can add custom instructions to the interview as well. We've seen people using it to change the tone of the interview, shorten it, ask the AI researcher to suggest to share the interview link with the team and some other cool use cases. It's pretty powerful. Anything in particular you'd like to have control on?
Fabien Ungerer
Users interviews are always super time consuming, can't wait to try askmore with a clear use case. Repporting interviews and sahring data to the product team is also time consuming and often lead to confusion. Askmore look like the perfect bridge between UI/UX feedbacks and your dev team.

Launching soon!
@zmiro Congratulations on the launch of AskMore! 🎉 This sounds like a game-changer for gathering user feedback. The idea of using AI to conduct user interviews and getting insights in various languages is brilliant. I'm curious to know, have you had the chance to try it out yourself? How has the experience been so far?

@exo_cody Thanks for the cool feedback! Yeah we actually started with some interviews for our own side projects. We managed to get close to 50 answers in just 3 days on our first interview, and the insights were similar if not better than what we would have had in traditional interviews. That's how we've started considering building a real product out of it!
