Share a link with your audience. You handle distribution.
Example content, shown on an invented company. Your own analysis uses your idea.
Three things it does
- 01
Recruited real participants
ShelfSense finds real human participants matching your demographic, with responses back in as little as 24 hours.
- 02
Or simulate them first
Synthetic responses from AI personas for a fast first read before you spend a real interview.
- 03
Voice or text, per persona
Each link runs the AI interviewer through the script you drafted for that segment, with a screener that gates on role.
What it lets you do
- Stop being limited to the handful of people you can personally book
- Rehearse on synthetic respondents, then spend real interviews knowing the questions work
- Reach people who have no reason to be kind to you
Five interviews with friendly contacts is not a sample. Removing the scheduling problem is the cheapest way to make the number big enough to mean something.
Where it sits
Each tool uses what the last one established. See all 13 tools in order.
Common questions
How many customer interviews do I need?
More than the five friendly contacts most founders manage. There is no universal number, but patterns only become trustworthy once you are hearing the same thing from people who have no reason to be kind to you — which usually means dozens rather than a handful.
Do I have to be present for the interview?
No. That is the point of the shared link — the interview runs without you in the room, so scheduling stops being the constraint on how many people you can reach.
What happens to the responses?
They feed straight into the AI Interview Analysis, the final tool in the sequence, which reads them together and reports on whether the business model held up.
