Company Launches

TL;DR

We’re Ben, Hendrik, and Dieter. We founded Conveo to reimagine how businesses gather deep customer insights. Our platform uses AI to conduct and analyze voice and video interviews, delivering faster, deeper, and more scalable insights.

The Problem:


Today, it’s near impossible for companies to gather deep insights at scale. Surveys lack the depth needed to truly understand your customer. Traditional qualitative methods, like interviews and focus groups, are slow, resource-heavy, and just plain cumbersome.

The Solution:

Conveo is a qualitative research platform that uses AI to conduct and analyze voice and video interviews, delivering actionable insights within hours, not weeks.

  • Introductions: Know someone in market research, CMI, marketing, product, or user research teams? Or perhaps someone in a market research or consulting agency? We’d love a warm introduction.

  • Try It Out: Are you a YC startup in need of user feedback? We’re offering 50 free interviews in exchange for your feedback. Plus, coffee’s on us! ☕️

  1. Get Started: Upload your discussion guide, choose from a template, or let AI create one for you.
  2. Distribute: Share the interview link with your customers, or leverage our integrated B2C and B2B panels.
  3. Engage: Let AI moderate video and voice interviews in any language, adapting dynamically to each conversation.
  4. Analyze: Watch and learn as AI processes and summarizes hundreds of interviews, surfacing key themes, quotes, and insights.
  5. Share & Socialize: Share insights across your organization easily from within the platform.

Who’s it for:

Conveo is designed for in-house teams—marketers, product managers, user researchers, and market researchers—as well as for market research and creative agencies. If you need deeper insights, faster, Conveo is for you.

Our Story:

Once upon a time, at DataCamp and McKinsey, we faced the same challenges many companies do today—trying to gather and analyze customer insights quickly and effectively. After banging our heads against the wall one too many times, we decided there had to be a better way. And so, Conveo was born. Because who needs a wall when you have AI?

Our Mission:

To enable companies to build the best possible experiences, products, and services based on profound consumer understanding.
