1What is an AI interview style?
An interview style determines how the AI interviewer behaves — the types of questions it asks, its tone, and how it follows up on your answers.
2Available interview styles
| Style | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Warm & Friendly | Conversational and encouraging | Storytelling and personal topics |
| Professional | Balanced and informative | Thought leadership and industry insights |
| Casual | Upbeat and fast paced | Launches, social content, and momentum |
| Expert Coach | Structured and probing | Surfacing expertise and practical takeaways |
| Investigative | Sharp and detail oriented | Nuance, tradeoffs, and case studies |
You can also start from an interview template. Founder Story, Product Launch, and Industry Insights are highlighted in the setup panel, and the full catalog covers case studies, how-to guides, listicles, and more.

Can I integrate ContentPod with my existing workflow?
Yes. ContentPod integrates into existing workflows by exporting generated content and media in multiple formats so you can move output into WordPress, Notion, email builders, social schedulers, or any CMS. It does not offer direct CMS publishing or Zapier integration.
Can I collaborate with team members?

Yes. ContentPod supports both AI-hosted guest conversations and content about real people using several tools: Two-Way Interview for a podcast-style dialogue between two AI personas, the standard AI Interview to document real interviews or case studies, and the Interview Transformer to turn transcripts into articles or social posts. You can review scripts, generate studio-quality audio, and use Article Writer and Caption Writer to produce finished content.
