Live observation
Watch it live.
Steer it as it runs.
An observer room for AI interviews: many sessions at once, translated as people speak, with a direct line to the moderator.
Research is better when the team sees it happen, not a summary a week later.
Live interview observation used to mean a room behind one-way glass. Cookiy's research observer room lets your whole team watch user interviews live from anywhere, with real-time translation, flags and notes, and the power to send the AI moderator a new question mid-session.
Real-time observer
Watch it live.
Steer it as it runs.
- Sit in on many sessions at once, with your whole team
- Live transcript, translated as people speak
- Flag a moment and it is clipped for the report
- Send the AI moderator a new topic mid-session; participants never see the backroom
What observers can do
More than watching.
Watch many at once
Follow several interviews side by side and jump into the one getting interesting.
Read it translated
Live transcript in the original language with your translation beside it.
Flag and note
One click clips the moment with a note for the report.
Steer the moderator
Push a topic or question; the AI asks it naturally when the moment fits.
Example study

- Mid-study change
- After five sessions the team added a question about delivery fees
What came back
The added delivery-fee question became the main finding.Raised unprompted in 11 later sessions

About live observation.
Can I watch AI interviews live?
Yes. Every session can be watched live from the observer room, and several sessions can be watched at once. Participants never see observers.
How do I change the interview while it runs?
Send the AI moderator a new topic or question from the backroom. It weaves it into the conversation at a natural moment, and the change is logged in the study.
Is there live translation?
Yes. Transcripts appear as people speak, with a translation into your working language next to the original.
How many people on my team can observe?
Invite your team and stakeholders to observe. Everyone can flag moments and leave notes, which flow into the analysis.
What happens to flagged moments?
Each flag creates a clip with the timestamp, transcript and your note, ready for the report and for sharing.
Can clients observe agency studies?
Yes, agencies invite clients to watch live. See Cookiy for agencies.
