# AI Interviewer

> Create interview links, run voice AI interviews, and store completed sessions in your project.

## Overview

AI Interviewer runs live voice interviews through unique links. You create links in a project, share them with respondents, and each completed session is saved as a project record.

## Before you start

<Note>
  To create and use interview links, fill both **Research Goals** and **Interview Guide** in the project context first.
</Note>

You should also have enough tokens available for the links you create. Link creation reserves tokens based on link count and duration.

## Create interview links

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your project">
    Go to a project, then scroll to the **AI Interviewer** section.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Links">
    Click **Create Links**. If context is missing, the button is disabled until you add Research Goals and Interview Guide.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set link parameters">
    In the create modal, set:

    * Number of links
    * Interview duration (minutes)
    * Link expiration (days)
    * Voice
    * Language (`Auto`, `Russian`, `English`)
    * Optional interview topics shown to respondents in onboarding

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review token reservation and create">
    Review token reservation, then click **Create Links**. If balance is insufficient, you will see **Buy Tokens**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share links with respondents">
    Use row actions to copy or open each link. Each link is single-use for one respondent interview.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Manage interview links

After creation, links appear in three tabs:

* **Active**: pending and in-progress links
* **Completed**: finished interviews
* **Archived**: cancelled or expired links

</Frame>

### Link statuses

| Status      | Meaning                                        |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `pending`   | Link is created but interview has not started. |
| `active`    | Respondent is currently in session.            |
| `completed` | Interview is finished and saved.               |
| `expired`   | Link validity period ended.                    |
| `cancelled` | Link was cancelled manually.                   |

### Row actions

Depending on status, you can:

* **Copy link**
* **Open link**
* **Rename** (pending links)
* **Edit Context** (pending links)
* **Cancel** (pending links)

## What respondents see

Respondents open `/interview/[token]` without login, enter email, and join the voice interview. The page includes onboarding cards, microphone permission flow, call controls, and a countdown timer.

Key behavior:

* Rejoin is supported for the same email while the interview is still active.
* If the call ends from timer or explicit leave, the session is marked complete.
* The transcript panel is available during and after the call.

## After interview completion

When a session completes, Aseed stores it in the project as a record. You can then:

* Open transcript and review interview content
* Generate single reports for this record
* Include the record in project reports

<Tip>
  AI Interviewer works best with specific Research Goals and Interview Guide content. Strong context improves both interview quality and report relevance.
</Tip>

## Token behavior

* Tokens are reserved when you create links.
* Reservation size depends on link count and duration.
* Final charging happens when interviews move to **completed**.
* Cancelled or expired links do not consume completed-session charges.
