How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Adobe Podcast when transcribing a recorded interview or conversation and editing it down by editing the text matters most, and Koji when building personas and validating early product concepts at scale matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

AI-native customer research platform whose AI interviewer runs voice and text discovery conversations at scale, then synthesizes themes automatically.
Adobe Podcast is a browser-based audio recording, transcription, and editing tool from Adobe. Its Studio records high-quality audio solo or with remote guests, capturing each participant as an individual track, then transcribes every word using the same transcription engine as Adobe Premiere Pro. The result is a text-based editing workflow: once a recording is transcribed, you cut, copy, paste, and delete words in the transcript and the corresponding audio (or video) is edited to match, so you edit sound like a document. It supports speaker detection to automatically label different speakers in the transcript. Beyond editing, it includes Enhance Speech to remove background noise and echo, and Mic Check, an AI analysis that diagnoses microphone problems before recording. It is aimed primarily at podcasters and creators producing spoken-word audio and video, but its transcription, speaker labeling, and voice-to-text capabilities make it usable for turning any recorded conversation into editable text. Adobe Podcast runs in the browser, with full Studio recording and editing officially supported in desktop Google Chrome.

Koji is an AI-native customer research platform built around an AI interviewer that conducts natural, in-depth conversations with research participants at scale, removing the need to schedule and moderate live discovery calls one at a time. Teams describe what they want to learn, and an AI research agent helps define goals and generate an interview guide. The AI then runs the interviews asynchronously in either a text chat or spoken voice format, asking adaptive follow-up questions and probing for depth as a human moderator would. Each completed conversation is analyzed automatically for key moments and sentiment, and findings are synthesized across all interviews into study-wide reports surfacing themes, patterns, and recommendations, with every insight traceable back to the participant quote that supports it rather than presented as a black-box summary. Koji is used for exploratory work such as discovery, persona development, and market strategy, as well as concept and messaging testing. The product is operated from Amsterdam with EU data residency and GDPR compliance, offers a freemium entry point, and integrates with tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Notion via an MCP server. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
