Open-ended questions for product discovery
Nine questions on behavior, pain points and decisions
Nine open-ended questions for product discovery interviews, grouped by what they uncover: how people handle the problem today, where it hurts, and how they decided on a solution. Each one asks for a real past experience instead of an opinion. Replace the bracketed parts with your own topic. Koji's AI interviewer can ask questions like these and probe the answers across hundreds of conversations.
