Job Description
### Listen Labs
Everyone hates surveys. They’re tedious to fill out and give shallow data.
That’s because they’re only a proxy for the real thing: _conversations_.
Through a conversation, you can ask follow-up questions and get deep insights
in a way that’s fun for the interviewee. Except you can’t have 1:1
conversations with everyone…
Listen Labs has built an AI interviewer that can ask follow-up questions, like
a conversation, but at the scale and ease of use of a survey.
### **Technical Challenges**
### **Turn qualitative data into quantitative insights**
Listen Labs clusters free-form conversation into a structured format. This is
not a trivial task. We use embeddings, fine-tuned large language models, and
more to solve these problems.
### **Ask the right questions**
Having a great conversation is not trivial. We’re fine-tuning and prompting in
novel ways to get the right output from LLMs.
### **Multi-modality**
We’ve built the fastest speech-to-speech pipeline but there’s a number of
challenges we need to address to make it better. Our interviewer has audio
input and output to the LLM and that’s tricky to get right.
### Investors
There’s been $30B+ of market cap created from bringing surveys online. Our
partner at Sequoia, [Bryan
Schreier](%5Bhttps://www.sequoiacap.com/people/bryan-
schreier/%5D\(https://www.sequoiacap.com/people/bryan-schreier/\)), was the
first investor in Qualtrics – the $12B survey company.
