# User interviews you can search two months later

Each call is a note: the recording, its transcript and the lines that matter, tagged. Two months later, Search finds #pricing across every study.

## At a glance

- **For:** UX researchers, product managers and founders who talk to users.
- **You keep:** A thread per study, and a note per interview with its recording, transcript and highlights.
- **Comes in:**
  - The recording of each call, transcribed with Pro.
  - The themes across the study from @Claude, on your own API key, when you ask.
- **The moment:** Two months later, Search finds #pricing across every study: four quotes, each in the interview it came from.
- **Plan:** Pro

## Before

Eight interviews for the onboarding study. The recordings sit in the video call app, and the quotes on sticky notes in a photo of a whiteboard. Two months later the product manager asks whether anyone mentioned pricing, and you start listening again.

## Why a thread, not a folder of recordings

### The call becomes text

Add the recording to the interview’s note. With Pro it gets a transcript, so Search finds what people said.

### Quotes you can find

Copy the line that matters into the note and tag it, #pricing or #setup. Search lists every quote with that tag.

### Themes with their sources

@Claude reads the study and lists the themes with the interviews behind each. You decide what they mean.

## A thread, over time

## You ask. The answer is a note.

Each one reads and writes only where its access allows.

### The themes, drafted

Write to @Claude in the study’s thread. It reads the notes and transcripts and answers with a note, on your own API key.

#### Set it up

AI model Your Anthropic or OpenAI API key Pro with Sync

1. In **Settings → Connections**, open **AI models**, choose **Claude** or **GPT**, paste an API key from Anthropic or OpenAI and choose **Connect**. AI models need Pro with Sync turned on.
2. In the thread, write `@Claude` and what you need, then choose **Send**.

## Limits

- Ask before you record, and tell people where the recording is kept.
- ThreadPage records from your microphone. For a video call, add the audio file your call app saves and choose Transcribe on its row.
- Transcripts need Pro: 10 hours a month, up to 2 hours for one recording. A trial includes 2 hours in all.
- @Claude needs an API key from Anthropic, and the provider bills the key for every answer. In a thread you share, it answers only after you choose Allow here.
- ThreadPage sends what the model reads to Anthropic with your key.
- Notes aren’t end-to-end encrypted: keep participants’ contact details elsewhere.

Claude, GPT, Anthropic, and OpenAI are the names of their owners. ThreadPage is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
