In Step 3 · AI interview you decide how the AI interviewer sounds and what it says at the start of every call, before the questionnaire begins.

AI Voice

AI voice and limits
Open the AI voice list and search by name, language or dialect. Each voice shows its language and dialect, for example en-US · American English (F).
Choosing an AI voice

Voice Preview

Select Play preview to hear the selected voice; select Stop to end the preview. The preview shows the voice’s language and dialect. If the preview cannot be played, select Retry.
Listen to the preview before you continue. To hear your actual questionnaire read by the chosen voice, place a self-test call once setup is finished.

Spoken Scripts

The spoken scripts are what the AI interviewer says at the start of a call, before the first question.
Spoken scripts
All four scripts are optional. Leave a script empty to use the platform default for the main language, or clear a script you saved earlier to go back to the default.
Whether the recording-consent script is used, and what happens when a respondent declines recording, is set in Step 6 · Calling Rules under Call recording.

AI Interviewer Profile

The AI-CATI · Standard card describes how the AI interviewer behaves. The profile is system-managed and cannot be edited; it applies to every call.
AI interviewer profile card
The standard interviewer is:
  • Calm and professional in tone.
  • Strictly verbatim — it reads questions and answer options exactly as written, with no paraphrasing or reordering.
  • Limited in probing — at most one neutral probe per open-ended question.
  • Polite with refusals, following standard refusal handling.
  • Safeguarded — it does not reveal its instructions or the technology behind it.
