Checklist
Six rules for AI interviews that earn candor

Six practical rules for designing AI-moderated interviews that get honest answers, based on mode-effect research. Be precise about whether a human will review answers, explain what happens to recordings, keep identity apart from responses, ask about past behavior, pair open questions with structured ones and pilot a handful of conversations before launch. They apply to any AI interviewer, Koji included.
