01
Conversational
Responds to answers and asks meaningful follow-up questions, without becoming arbitrary.
Case studies IRC Consult
An AI interview instead of a classic questionnaire.
thirdmind built an AI interview system for IRC Consult. Instead of asking for answers through a static form, it guides users through a real conversation.
Kolloqo is based on a structured questionnaire and keeps track of which information is needed to produce context-aware answers later.

Kolloqo website with hero area for AI interviews instead of classic questionnaires 01 Why AI
Why generative AI fits between questionnaire and evaluation
A static questionnaire cannot follow up well. A human interview can, but is harder to scale. Generative AI can fill the middle ground: a structured conversation that works toward a defined goal.
02
True to structure
Keeps track of which information the questionnaire needs at the end.
03
Clear boundaries
No diagnosis, no therapeutic role. Professional responsibility remains with people.
02 system
Kolloqo guides the conversation, not a monologue.
Kolloqo is an AI interview system for structured surveys. It guides users through a conversation, checks completeness, and prepares answers for later evaluation.
- 01 · Start
Kolloqo starts the conversation.
Clear framework, clear goal of the survey.
- 02 · Questions
It asks step by step about the relevant topics.
Not everything at once, following the conversation.
- 03 · Follow-up
If answers are unclear or incomplete, Kolloqo asks specific follow-up questions.
Specific enough to close gaps without pushing users.
- 04 · Condense
Answers are turned into structured building blocks.
Sentences become questionnaire fields.
- 05 · Handover
Structured answers go to the questionnaire process.
For later evaluation and domain classification.
The important point is that Kolloqo runs a clear conversation without losing the structure of the survey.
03 Tasks
What an AI interview system can do.
The list shows typical building blocks. Which steps are automated depends on the survey design and the desired analysis.
- 01
Open and conduct the conversation clearly
- 02
Collect relevant information for the questionnaire
- 03
Ask appropriate questions
- 04
Condense and structure answers
- 05
Recognize missing information
- 06
Prepare structured questionnaire answers
Sensitive topics need firm limits. A good interview system knows what it isn't.
04 Boundaries
Structural fidelity is not a detail.
An AI interview cannot be freely improvised. It needs a target catalog, follow-up logic, and clear limits for sensitive statements. Otherwise, the result is a pleasant chat, not usable interview data.
01
Target catalog
Defined fields that should be filled at the end of the conversation.
02
Follow-up logic
When to ask and when not.
03
Compression
How free answers become structured building blocks.
04
Sensitive topics
Clear boundaries instead of free interpretation.
05
EU hosting
Sensitive survey data remains in the EU.
06
No training use
Data does not flow into model training.
05 Approach
From survey design to productive dialogue.
We start with the survey logic: what information should be available in structured form at the end, in which context, and with which tone.
We then build a first version of the interview with defined follow-up logic and clear boundaries for sensitive topics.
If the structured answers arise reliably, the system is integrated into the survey process. Extensions follow iteratively.
06 FAQ
Questions about the Kolloqo case study.
What has thirdmind built for Kolloqo and IRC?
thirdmind has built an AI interview system that guides users through a structured conversation and prepares questionnaire answers.
What is the difference to a normal questionnaire?
A questionnaire asks fixed questions. The AI interview reacts to answers, asks follow-up questions, and collects missing information in a targeted way.
Does the system replace human interviews?
Not across the board. It supports recurring survey processes. Professional responsibility and sensitive assessments remain with people.
Is this a psychological diagnostic tool?
No. Kolloqo is an AI system for structured interviews and questionnaire logic. It does not replace diagnosis, therapy, or professional assessment.
Why is generative AI suitable for this?
Because it can react to answers conversationally while still working toward a structured goal, as long as the interview logic is clearly designed.
Are specific numbers given?
No. Concrete figures, scientific comparisons, or effectiveness claims should only be mentioned after final approval.
Structuring interviews
Do you work with long questionnaires, forms or manual interviews?
Talk about a similar processYuno asks four short questions about the survey objective, data, sensitivity, and evaluation. After that, it is clearer whether an AI interview makes sense.
