Customer Interview Database Template

Your Customer Interview Database at a glance

This template gives research and product teams a centralized system to log discovery calls, store transcripts, and extract actionable feedback. It eliminates the mess of scattered notes and disconnected spreadsheets.

The database connects your Customers, Interviews, and Insights tables natively. Every interview links back to the customer profile and automatically bubbles up categorized insights like feature requests or pain points.

Built-in AI features automatically summarize long transcripts into neat bullet points, analyze conversation sentiment, and search the web to enrich customer profiles.

Why tracking customer interviews in Google Sheets breaks down

Pasting long transcripts and connecting them to product insights quickly turns Google Sheets into an unreadable mess of scrolling rows.

What a structured database changes

Unlike spreadsheets, a structured system keeps large text blocks neatly contained while maintaining clear relationships between data. You can link a deep-dive interview directly to multiple granular insights without endless copy-pasting.

Everything stays strictly categorized, and files like call recordings are effortlessly attached. This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for.

What you can do with this template

You can immediately start logging calls, attaching video recordings, and tracking the status of abstracted themes. It provides a clean, scalable home for every piece of user feedback.

Thanks to native Database AI agents, this template also works on autopilot. It reads your raw transcripts to generate reliable summaries and determines whether customer sentiment was positive or negative.
