Conversational AI Quality

Signal without
the black box.

The quality of a 360 report is only as good as the quality of the feedback collected. Interval 360 uses conversational AI to gather more specific, more contextual input — and does it transparently.

Why conversation produces better data

The format
is the problem.

Traditional 360 surveys ask every rater the same fixed questions regardless of what they say. A rating of 4 out of 5 on “communicates effectively” tells you almost nothing useful — there is no context, no example, no pattern.

The issue is not the questions. It is the format. Surveys cannot probe. A conversation can.

Interval 360 replaces the static survey with a structured conversation guided by AI — producing richer, more specific feedback with less burden on the rater.

Precision over volume

Survey vs.
Conversation

Traditional Survey

  • Fixed questions for every rater — no adaptation based on responses

  • Rating scales produce scores, not insight — "4 out of 5" says nothing specific

  • Open text fields produce inconsistent depth — some raters write one word, others write paragraphs

  • No mechanism to ask for an example when an answer is too general

  • 30–50 items creates fatigue — raters rush through later questions

  • Output is shaped by what raters chose to volunteer, not by what would be most useful

Interval 360 Conversation

  • Questions adapt based on what the rater says — the AI probes where it matters

  • Structured conversation produces specific examples, context, and patterns

  • Follow-up logic draws out depth consistently — every rater gets the same quality of probing

  • When a response is too general, the AI asks for a specific example

  • 5–8 focused exchanges — lower burden, higher quality

  • The AI guides toward the information that makes output useful

Live example

Follow-up
in action

When a rater gives a general answer, the AI probes for the specific example that makes feedback actionable. Every rater gets the same quality of depth — not just the ones who volunteer it.

5–8 focused exchanges per rater
What would you say is Emily's greatest strength as a leader?
She is the best manager I have had at this company. She always takes the time to give me feedback and is invested in my development and not just my performance.
That's a helpful perspective. What would you say is Emily's most important opportunity for growth as a leader?
Communication
Can you say a bit more about how communication shows up in practice?
Sometimes she can be a bit all over the place. Emails can ramble a bit, and it can sometimes take a bit for us to "get going" in our all-hands meetings.

The impact

Better data
better outcomes.

When raters are guided through a structured conversation rather than faced with a static form, the quality of the feedback changes — and so does the quality of the decisions made from it.

5–8

exchanges

Focused AI-guided exchanges replace 30–50 item static surveys — dramatically lowering rater burden without sacrificing depth.

more specific

Conversational probing consistently yields more specific examples and behavioral context than free-text survey fields.

100%

transparent

Raters always know they are interacting with an AI. The process is fully disclosed and designed to be trustworthy.
