Comparison
Panel survey vs AI interview
What changes when panel recruits get a conversation instead of a form
A side-by-side comparison of a standard panel survey and an AI-moderated interview with participants recruited from a panel. It shows where surveys lose depth, in skipped or one-line open answers and in attention checks that AI agents can now pass, and what a conversation adds: follow-up questions, structured questions in the same flow, and a quality score. Koji runs this kind of interview with panel recruits inside one study.
Where this appears
What's in this comparison
Panel survey
- Closed questions fielded fast to a large sample
- Open questions often skipped or answered in a few words
- Follow-ups only where the tool adds them
- Attention checks that AI agents can now pass
AI interview with panel recruits
- Same kind of panel audience, recruited inside the study
- Follows up on short or vague answers, like a moderator
- Scales and choices asked inside the conversation
- Quality score keeps low-effort interviews out of the report
- A report with the quotes behind every theme
