Open any study from your dashboard to see its interviews. The list on the left shows every interview, sorted by most recent activity. Click one to read the full transcript.

Triage with summaries

Each interview has a summary at the top. Hover over View full summary to expand the key bullet points, so you can scan the list without opening each one. Very short interviews (1-2 replies) may show “Nothing notable to summarize.” Skip these and focus on longer interviews.

Find specific interviews

Use the search bar to find an interview by its ID (for example, INT-042) or by message content. For more targeted filtering, click the filter icon:
  • Unread: Show only interviews you haven’t opened yet
  • Favorites: Show only starred interviews
  • Grade: Each interview gets a letter grade from A+ to D based on how rich its responses are. Filter by grade to jump straight to your most valuable interviews.
  • Metadata: Pick a metadata key and select specific values, useful for comparing interviews across different sources
  • Message count: Set a minimum and maximum range to filter by interview length

Save what matters

Star interviews you want to revisit by clicking the star in the list or using the Favorite button in the footer bar. Use the Favorites filter to get back to them. Pin key quotes by right-clicking any user message and selecting Pin. All pinned messages are collected in the Pins tab at the top of the study page, so you can review the best quotes across all interviews in one place. Click any pin to jump back to its original context.

Share with your team

Use the link button next to the interview ID in the interview header to copy a direct link to that interview. Share it with teammates so they can read the same transcript. To go deeper, click Chat in the interview header. This loads the interview into Ask Pillow, where you can ask follow-up questions about it.

Metadata and context

Click Metadata in the footer bar to see the context captured for each interview: custom parameters you passed via URL, the user’s locale, location, device, and browser. See Customize metadata for how to set this up. If your organization has data redaction enabled, sensitive information in messages is replaced with labeled badges. Hover over a badge to see the redaction type.

Translate interviews

If an interview is in a language you don’t read, click the translate action to get an on-demand translation of the full transcript. The original messages stay visible alongside the translation, so you can always refer back to what the participant actually wrote.
