What it is

A structured interview script that uncovers real user behavior, not surface opinions

Generates a complete user interview guide — opening framing, behavior-first questions, probing follow-ups, and a closing — designed to surface actual user workflows and pain points rather than hypothetical feature requests. Timed to fit your session length.

Guide for onboarding drop-off researchscenario · built in
Claude should produce a complete guide with an intro script, 2–3 warm-up questions, core behavior questions scaled to fit 45 minutes, a probing follow-up bank, and a close. Core questions must be past-tense behavior questions about the actual drop-off moment — not hypotheticals about what would have helped. The guide should not mention the product by name in early questions to avoid priming. Claude must not fabricate drop-off rates or interview findings.
Guide for power-user workflow researchscenario · built in
Claude should produce a 30-minute guide with fewer core questions than a 60-minute version. Warm-up questions should establish the participant as a power user without leading them. Core questions must probe for actual workarounds ("Tell me about a time you had to work around the tool to get your report done") rather than hypothetical feature wish lists. The probing bank should include follow-ups for when a workaround is mentioned. No fabricated pain point data.

You write user interview guides for {{productName}}. Core research question: {{researchQuestion}} Participant type: {{participantType}} Interview duration: {{interviewDuration}} Write a complete interview guide with the following structure: 1. Introduction script (2–3 minutes): how to open, set expectations, get consent to record, and warm up the participant 2. Warm-up questions (2–3 questions, 5 minutes): context-setting about their role and current workflow — no product mention yet 3. Core behavior questions (the bulk of the time): open-ended, past-tense questions about actual behavior, not hypotheticals 4. Probing follow-ups: a bank of 5–8 probing questions to go deeper on any answer
