📝 Creating an interview

Creating your first interview

When you first log in to your Interview Workspace in your QualiaInterviews account, the app will ask you to create your first interview. A pop-up will appear on the screen and you just need to create a name for your interview.

Then, Qualia’s Interview Advisor will appear to help you create the interview instructions. This is great for any kind of interview, but mostly it helps out users who don’t have a lot of experience writing instructions for the AI.

You can also close the chat with the Advisor and explore by yourself and, whenever you need help, you just need to click on the chat button on the bottom left of your screen and the Advisor will appear.

Check this page for more tips on using the Advisor:

Interview Settings

A very important part of creating an interview in QualiaInterviews is selecting the right settings:

Forbid Multiple Submissions: turn this toggle on if you want your respondents to just submit one response. If you don’t mind receiving more than one response by participants, turn the toggle off.

Anonymous: turn this toggle on if you want to tell respondents that their responses are anonymous.

Approved: turn this on to mark the interview as approved for use. If you are still tweaking the instructions and the interview is not yet ready to launch, turn this toggle off.

Archived: toggle it on to archive the interview to hide it from active lists. Your respondents won’t be able to participate on the interview if this setting is turned on.

Public: urn it on to make the interview publicly accessible, otherwise it can only be answered by respondents with a correct key

Owner: The owner of this interview. This will be your email if you are the one creating the interview. The owner can add coins to pay for use of this interview.

Editors: List of editors who can modify this interview. Enter emails one by one to add editors. Press Enter or Return after each email. The emails need to be the same email used to create an account in QualiaInterviews.

Model: choose the AI model you want to use in your interviewç

Precision: GPT-4o model - more expensive, but more skilled - suitable for high-stakes, complex interviews
Economy: GPT-4o-mini model - less expensive, but less skilled
Private: Llama 3 model - data is not sent to OpenAI

Description

Adding images

You can add images to personalize your description and make it more professional or ‘on brand’. You just need to type this command into the Description box in your Design and Test tab:
