Start from a template
A good old conversation is still the fastest way to get the information you need.
Walk into your next meeting with what your customers actually said, rather than with an opinion. A form gives you a score without the reason behind it. Running thirty interviews yourself takes weeks. Raconte runs them for your team and your AI agents.
Craft your prompt
Describe the questions you want to ask. The AI grasps context and adapts on the fly. It writes the title, the intro and the opening question, which you can edit.

Send to your contacts
Send the interview by email or share a link. Each participant can get their own, or a single public link serves everyone at once.

Your invitees open the invitation
One click opens the interview in the browser. Your invitee starts talking right away, without an install, an account or a slot to book.

The AI runs the interview
The AI adapts, follows up and listens, so the conversation stays natural. Participants can rephrase, backtrack or pause.

Get transcripts and insights
You get the full transcript, replayable audio, a generated summary and per-message sentiment, for every participant. Read them in the UI, or pull them through the API or MCP.

People open up more to an AI than to a person
Researchers at the University of Southern California published the finding in Computers in Human Behavior in 2014. People say more and hold back less once they know a machine is listening, because nobody is there to judge them.
Nobody to impress
No slot to book
They know it is an AI
A form VS Raconte
| A form | Raconte | |
|---|---|---|
| The question | ”How satisfied are you with onboarding, 1 to 5?" | "Take me back to your first week with the tool. What did you do first?” |
| What comes back | A 3, and a comment box left empty | The story of that week, step by step, including where it got stuck |
| The follow-up | None | The AI asks what happened when things got stuck and how the person got past it |
| Effort for the person answering | Typing | Talking |
| What you read | A bar chart | A transcript, or the themes your agent pulled from it |

FAQ
These questions come up most often.
Can I control what the AI asks?
Yes. Your prompt sets everything: goals, topics to cover, tone. The AI stays within that scope and follows up accordingly.
Will the AI hold up in front of my own customers?
Listen to the demo recording on this page and judge for yourself, then run your first interviews on colleagues before you send anything to a customer. Your prompt fixes the scope, Raconte tells every participant they are talking to an AI, and you read the full transcript of each interview afterwards.
How much does an interview cost?
The first 60 minutes every month are free. After that you pay by the minute of active speech, with no commitment, which puts a 10-minute interview at around $1.20. The pricing page has the full breakdown.
Which languages can interviews run in?
English and French, and you pick the language for each interview. Ask us if you need another one.
Do my interviewees need to install anything?
No. The link opens the interview in the browser, so one click is all they need, without an install or an account.
