Live poll vs AI-moderated interview

Comparison of a live poll, which captures sentiment in the moment, and an AI-moderated interview, which asks follow-ups and returns themes with quotes.
A poll tells you how the room feels. An interview tells you why.

A side-by-side of live polling and AI-moderated interviews. Live polls from tools like Mentimeter capture how a room feels during a session, usually as a word cloud or a count, but rarely explain it. An AI-moderated interview talks to each person by text or voice, asks follow-up questions and returns themes backed by quotes. Use polls for energy in the room and interviews when you need feedback you can act on. Koji runs the interview side.
