02 · Problem
Interviews are great. Running them isn't.
Recruiting, scheduling, running the call, transcribing, tagging. Most teams know they should talk to their users, and still skip it because it eats weeks.
03 · Solution
Let the AI do the talking
You set the goal, Askiva drafts the questions, runs the interviews and turns them into themes. The researcher still decides what to ask and what it means.
