Questions, answered.

What Rooms does, what a room needs, what you get back and what it costs. If your question is not here, ask us.

Getting started

What is Rooms?

Rooms runs voice interviews for you. You write the questions, an AI interviewer talks to each person, listens, asks follow-up questions, and gives you a transcript and the answers organised by question.

Who is it for?

Researchers, product teams, agencies and anyone who needs to hear from more people than they have time to interview. Research interviews, customer feedback, discovery and employee interviews are the common uses.

How long does it take to set up?

As long as it takes you to write your questions. Choose an interviewer, write the topics and questions, create a room and share the link. There is nothing to install and nobody to wait for.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The studio runs in your browser, and participants only need a browser and a microphone.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Every new account gets 45 minutes of conversation free, with no card needed. See the pricing page for what comes after that.

Running a room

What is a room?

A room is one link that runs one study. It carries the interviewer, the plan of questions, the brand it wears, how long each conversation can run, and how many conversations it takes.

Who can join a room?

You choose: anyone with the link, one invite code per person, or a shared passcode everyone types before they join. You can also set when a room opens and when it stops taking new conversations.

Can I put my own brand on it?

Yes. Add a logo, a name and a banner picture, and the join page wears them. Brands live on your account, so every workspace can use them.

Can I test a room before I share it?

Yes. Open the room yourself from the studio and have the conversation. A test run costs half the standard rate and does not use one of the room's conversation slots.

How long can a conversation be?

It depends on your plan: up to 20 minutes on Free, 60 on Solo, 90 on Agency and 120 on National. You set the length of each room within that limit.

Can I ask for a participant's name or email?

Yes, if the study needs it. A room can ask for contact details and a few short questions before the conversation starts. By default it asks for nothing.

The interviewer

What does the AI interviewer do?

It follows your plan: it asks the questions you wrote, listens to the answer, asks a follow-up when there is more to learn, and moves on when the topic is covered. It pauses to consider an answer, and if it mishears, the participant can say it again.

Can I choose the voice and personality?

Yes. Each interviewer has its own voice, personality and approach, and you can run different interviewers in different rooms.

Is it voice only?

Yes. There is no camera. The participant talks and the interviewer talks back, like a phone call in the browser.

Taking part

What do participants need?

A browser and a microphone, on a phone, a tablet, a laptop or a desktop. No account, no app and no download. The browser asks for the microphone once.

Can a participant stop part way through?

Yes, at any point, by hanging up or closing the tab. Taking part is voluntary.

What if the connection drops?

The browser keeps a temporary reference to the conversation so the participant can open the link again and carry on. It is cleared when they close the tab.

Are participants told what happens to what they say?

Yes. The join page says the conversation is transcribed for research, and how we handle your data explains what is stored and for how long.

Results

What do I get after a conversation?

A transcript of what was said, the answers organised under the question they belong to, and a record of when the conversation started, ended and how far it got.

Can I export the results?

Yes. Export answers as a CSV file, or download a conversation transcript as a PDF.

Is the audio recorded?

No. The audio is processed live so the interviewer can hear and reply, and it is not kept as a recording.

Pricing

How much does it cost?

Plans start at £54 a month, VAT included, and every plan is priced by the minutes of conversation it includes. See the pricing page.

Do the prices include VAT?

Yes. Every price you see includes VAT at 20%, and nothing is added at checkout.

What counts as a minute?

The time a person spends in conversation with your interviewer. Each conversation is rounded up to a whole minute. Setting up rooms and reading results cost nothing.

What happens when my minutes run out?

Your rooms pause until more minutes arrive, from a top-up or your renewal. A paused room's join page says the room is closed; it never mentions billing. A conversation that has already started is never cut short.

Can I cancel?

Yes, from the studio, at any time. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and nothing changes until then.

Do unused minutes roll over?

Monthly minutes expire on your renewal date. Your free sign-up minutes and any top-up minutes never expire while your account is open. The minutes and plans page has the full rules.

Your data

Where is my data stored?

Transcripts, answers and account data are stored in London, United Kingdom. Live conversations run through media servers in Frankfurt, Germany, and audio and text pass through our speech and language providers only for as long as it takes to run the conversation.

Is anything used to train AI models?

No. Nothing is sold and nothing is used to train AI models.

Who can see the transcripts?

The team that invited the participant, for the purpose they described in the invitation. Nobody else.

How long do you keep it?

While your account is open. Account data is deleted within 30 days of the account or workspace being closed, apart from what we must keep for tax, fraud or legal reasons.

Help

How do I get help?

Write to us and a person will answer. We help with the first brief, the interviewer's voice and anything that goes wrong.

Who makes Rooms?

Rooms is built and run by Enjoy Development in the United Kingdom.
