HeyMarvin Transforms the Dynamics of Research with New AI Moderated Interviewer

The technology offers a completely new methodology for collecting customer feedback

HeyMarvin, the only AI-native customer feedback repository, today announced the AI Moderated Interviewer. AI Moderated Interviewer is a new AI agent that leverages Voice AI to conduct moderated user interviews — on demand, transforming how research is conducted at scale. The AI Moderated Interviewer offers a more in-depth and comprehensive alternative to surveys or unmoderated testing while keeping the convenience and scale of both.

HeyMarvin’s AI Moderated Interviewer empowers product teams to do two things:

1. Conduct dynamic conversations with potentially thousands of participants simultaneously without the need for a human facilitator.
2. Analyze interview responses in real time to extract trends and actionable insights.

“This is the first time in decades we’ve seen a completely new research methodology for how we collect customer feedback,” said Prayag Narula, CEO and co-founder of HeyMarvin. “What makes it so powerful is that it enables free-flowing, qualitative, engaging conversations — but on demand and at scale. We’re talking hundreds, even thousands of people, something that was previously only seen at large scale using a small army of volunteers in moments like presidential elections. Now, even a small team can have that same in-depth dialogue with their customers. It’s not just a better survey, and it’s not replacing traditional user interviews. It’s a whole new way of doing research that simply didn’t exist a few months ago.”

“As the tech landscape evolves, I’m excited about how AI enhances the way we do research. There isn't a one-size-fits-all methodology — we now have a dynamic toolkit that works for different situations,” said Vanessa Whatley, research leader at Twilio. “AI moderation has many upsides and is much more natural than an old-school, unmoderated study. I don’t see human moderation going away, but it's impractical in several scenarios. This is where AI moderation lets companies efficiently collect quality data at scale.”

AI Moderated Interviewer:

• Interviews thousands of participants at the same time: Maximize researchers’ time by conducting large numbers of AI-led, qualitative, and engaging conversations without human moderator interaction.

• Gives your participants flexibility: Participants can complete interviews at their convenience, making the interview process more accessible and user-friendly.

• Speaks your language: Organizations can collect insights from users across the world, in more than 40 different languages, and translate them back into yours.

• Receives more honest answers: Anecdotally, the AI moderator facilitates more frank input from participants since they may feel more comfortable providing critical feedback to an AI agent rather than a human interviewer.

• Is perfect for teams without enough resources to conduct interviews: By incorporating research best practices, AI Moderated Interviewer augments the work of experienced researchers and dramatically expands the number of teams who can benefit from qualitative feedback.

• Plugs into existing workflows: AI Moderated Interviewer integrates with an organization’s own research tools and workflows.

“As a long-time partner, I view HeyMarvin as the leader in AI technology for customer research. Having invested in 100s of companies, those that win out are the ones that have a crystal clear understanding of customers,” said Scott Banister, noted tech entrepreneur and early-stage investor behind companies like PayPal, Facebook, Uber, and now HeyMarvin. “The AI Moderated Interviewer is a massive innovation for getting these insights faster than ever. Combined with everything else the product can do, HeyMarvin is light years ahead of others in this space — and the team is moving faster than ever.”
