Interview question generation

Great user interviews start with questions that spark real conversations, not just yes-or-no answers. The best interviewers know how to dig deeper without leading witnesses. They ask about specific past situations rather than hypotheticals.^[1] For example, "Tell me about the last time you..." instead of "Would you ever..."

Try prompting with context: "I'm researching how people manage household tasks. Generate 10 open-ended interview questions that explore their current pain points and workflows." The more specific your context, the better your questions.

You can also request different question types: "Create 5 questions about past experiences, 3 about current frustrations, and 2 about ideal solutions." ChatGPT can even adapt tone: "Make these questions conversational, as if chatting with a friend over coffee.”
