Be Present. Capture Everything.

Professional interview management. From first question through published audio, you can focus on the conversation, not the logistics.

You Shouldn't Have to Choose Between Great Conversations and Great Production

Interviewers split their attention - glancing at scattered notes, fumbling to mark timestamps, worrying about finding that perfect quote later. Your tools weren't designed for interviews. InterviewCue was.

This sound familiar?

One Platform. Every Phase of Your Interview.

Designed around how interviews actually work:
Three distinct phases, each with purpose-built tools.

Phase 1

Prepare

Build your interview with organized questions, private background notes only you can see, and reference links for every topic. With import from markdown, InterviewCue works seamlessly with AI prep tools.

  • Organize questions with private background notes
  • Reference links are auto-extracted from your prep, organized by question
  • Import from markdown: Bring prep from AI tools, Notion, Google Docs, or anywhere

Phase 2

Record

Your guest deserves your full attention. Hotkeys capture highlights, follow-ups, chapters, and audio issues with a single keypress. No looking away, no breaking eye contact. Real-time collaboration keeps hosts, producers, and guests in sync.

  • Keys 1-5 capture different event types instantly
  • Every event automatically timestamped
  • Real-time collaboration for hosts, producers, and guests
  • Questions visible as scrollable text, glanceable, never intrusive
  • Open all reference links organized by topic, browser tabs become your interview roadmap
  • Works beautifully on iPad as a recording companion

Phase 3

Produce

When recording stops, your post-production is already half done. Upload your raw recording and your final edit. We store both securely. InterviewCue generates transcripts automatically using OpenAI's Whisper, then aligns your recording and final timelines to auto-generate near-perfect chapters that account for your intros, outros, and cuts.

  • Audio storage: Upload both original and finalized recordings
  • Automatic transcription with top-tier Whisper models
  • Transcript alignment produces a production-ready timeline
  • Audio scrubbing: Play audio around any timestamp for fine-tuning
  • Auto-generated chapters account for intros, outros, and cuts
