Set up the interview
Write the questions you want answered, set the tone and add context the interviewer should know about your subject.
Save it as a reusable template (alumni profiles, customer spotlights, donor stories) or send a one-off.
How it works
From one link to a finished story.
Here's exactly what happens between you setting up an interview and a story being ready to publish.
A real interview, in real time
Conversational. Branded. Yours.
Sources answer by chat, email or voice on their own time. No account, no app, no calendar invite. Photos and follow-ups stay attached to the story from the first message to the final draft.
Your newsroom
Thanks for taking a few minutes. What should readers understand first about the program?
It started small, but it kept growing because people could see the difference. We went from 12 families the first month to almost 200 by the end of the year.
Can you tell me about a moment that stood out for you?
Four steps, one workspace
The whole arc, in one place.
No exporting transcripts to a separate AI tool, no copy-pasting drafts into a designer, no shuttling files between apps. Every step works from the same source material.
Share the link
Your interviewee opens it on their phone or laptop. They answer at their own pace, attach photos if you asked and submit when they're done.
You'll see the response land in real time, attached to the story along with any follow-ups.
Generate the draft
Pick a draft style (feature, brief, Q&A, profile) and StoryIntake writes a first pass using the actual transcript.
Edit in place. When you're ready, run Preflight to check every direct quote against the source transcript and confirm what's verified before you publish.
Publish or produce
Export to your CMS, drop the draft into Design Studio for a print-ready or social-ready layout or, for voice interviews, produce a finished podcast episode in Podcast Studio.
Same source material. Every output stays attributable back to it.
Ready when you are
Send your first interview link in five minutes.
