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
