Anthropic announced Anthropic Interviewer, a Claude-powered research system that automates the entire qualitative interview pipeline — from question design to conducting 10–15 minute conversations to clustering themes for human researchers. The tool debuted with a major study of 1,250 professionals on how AI is shaping their work. Official post: Anthropic Interviewer.

• End-to-end research automation: The system plans questions, conducts interviews, generates transcripts, and clusters insights for analysts.
• Key findings from the first study: 86% say AI saves them time; 69% feel social stigma using AI at work; 55% worry about job security.
• Creatives reported hiding AI use due to peer perception, while scientists want AI research partners but don’t fully trust model reliability yet.
• Anthropic is releasing all 1,250 transcripts publicly and plans ongoing longitudinal studies on human–AI interaction trends.

Why it matters: Most companies rely on dashboards or surveys to understand users, but these capture behavior, not feelings. Claude’s scaled interviews reveal nuanced emotional, ethical, and practical concerns — showing a workforce eager to adopt AI but unsure about the social consequences. Qualitative research at this scale was previously impossible, marking a major shift in how organizations can study human experiences with AI.
