Problem
Traditional surveys provide quantitative scores but often fail to capture the reasoning behind responses, leaving organizations without a clear understanding of why issues exist. Consultants can uncover deeper insights through interviews, but this depth is expensive and difficult to scale across large organizations, limiting its practical application.
Solution
Elephants in the Room offers an AI-led interview platform that combines the depth of a human interview with the reach of a survey. The AI interviewer, Elly, asks probing questions that surface the real issues behind surface-level responses, engaging participants in natural conversation. Elly then analyzes hundreds of interviews to identify patterns, showing how widely each view is shared and revealing the reasoning behind it. The platform organizes challenges, causes, and solutions, then prioritizes them based on the frequency and strength of the arguments, helping organizations identify root causes of their biggest problems and the solutions their people actually support.
Target Audience
Primary customers are organizations seeking to understand employee engagement, retention, growth opportunities, and operational efficiency through scalable qualitative research with their workforce, partners, and stakeholders.
