Weeks of discovery interviews.Done in hours.Backed by evidence.
Sonda runs your stakeholder interviews — voice-first, adaptive, on time — then synthesizes every conversation into evidence-linked findings you can drop straight into a scope document.
Discovery is broken four ways
Scheduling friction
Weeks lost coordinating calendars. Sonda interviews are async — stakeholders talk when it suits them, all in parallel.
Interviewer variance
Insight depends on who asks. Sonda probes every stakeholder with the same designer-approved rigor.
Lossy capture
Notes catch maybe a third of what’s said. Sonda keeps a verbatim, timestamped record of every word.
Synthesis lag
Days per interview to turn talk into requirements. Sonda’s report lands minutes after the conversation ends.
What you get back
Every stakeholder interviewed the same week, not sequentially.
Verbatim transcript, speaker-separated, timestamped.
Every finding cites its quote or it doesn’t ship.
Claims that can’t be traced to a quote are stripped, not smoothed over.
Every claim cites its source
Findings are labeled stated or inferred. Coverage gaps are surfaced, not hidden. Claims without evidence are stripped before you see them.
System must integrate with existing SAP ERP for real-time inventory visibility across all three warehouse locations.
“We have three warehouses running on SAP and if I can’t see inventory across all of them in one place, it’s a non-starter.”
Team prefers mobile-first access for warehouse floor staff.
“My floor managers are never at a desk. If they can’t check it on their phone, they won’t check it.”
Budget constraints and timeline preferences were not covered. The interviewee redirected twice when asked about budget.
Five steps from setup to synthesis
Built for people who run discovery
Consultants and AI advisors
Send interview links instead of scheduling calls. Get evidence-linked findings you can drop into a deliverable.
UX and market researchers
Run ten interviews in the time it takes to schedule three. Every insight traced to the source.
Forward-deployed engineers
Walk into the build with requirements traced to the stakeholder’s own words.
Product strategists and BAs
Replace the telephone game between stakeholders and your backlog with direct, cited evidence.
Plain answers
What is Sonda?
Sonda is an AI discovery interviewer built by Augmenta. It runs stakeholder discovery interviews — voice-first, adaptive, time-boxed — and synthesizes every conversation into evidence-linked findings with timestamped quotes.
How does Sonda work?
You describe the project and who to interview, approve the AI-generated interview guide, and send each stakeholder a magic link. They join a voice-first, time-boxed interview in the browser — no account, no install — and Sonda records, transcribes, and synthesizes the conversation into a report within minutes.
What makes Sonda different from other AI interview tools?
Evidence over eloquence: every synthesized finding cites a timestamped quote or it doesn't ship. Findings are labeled stated or inferred, coverage gaps are surfaced instead of hidden, and a human designer approves every guide and reviews every synthesis before it moves downstream.
Do interviewees need an account or an app?
No. One click on a magic link opens the interview in any browser, including on mobile. Interviews are voice-first with full text parity, available in English and Spanish.
How long are Sonda interviews?
Interviews default to 30 minutes with a hard cap of 45, and always end gracefully on time. Stakeholders can pause and resume in multiple sittings within the invitation window.
Who is Sonda for?
Consultants and AI advisors, UX and market researchers, forward-deployed engineers, and product strategists who run discovery — anyone who needs many stakeholder interviews done in days, backed by verifiable evidence.
