The Mom Test Interview Script Generator
Drafts non-biased customer interview questions using 'The Mom Test' methodology to extract honest, actionable feedback.
Use Case
Before building a MVP, use this to design questions that get honest validation without getting false positives from polite interviewees.
AI Prompt
Act as an expert product manager trained in Rob Fitzpatrick's 'The Mom Test'. My startup is building [Insert Product/Service Description] for [Insert Target Audience]. Write a highly strategic, conversational interview script of 8-10 questions that completely avoids pitching, leading questions, or asking for opinions on future features. Focus the questions entirely on the target audience's past behaviors, current workflows, and actual money spent trying to solve this pain point. Include advice on how to transition the conversation naturally and how to take notes without killing the flow.
How to Use
- 1Fill in your product concept and who your target audience is.
- 2Generate the conversational questions.
- 3Conduct 5-10 user interviews using this script to identify real pain points.
Example Output
Start by asking how they currently manage their inventory tracking. Instead of asking if they would like an automated app, ask them to walk you through the last time their inventory was incorrect and what specific steps they took to fix it. This reveals their actual frustration levels and current habits.
