Can AI find the best moments in user interviews for a highlight reel?

Yes. Connected to Great Question, an AI tool can search your repository highlights for a product area, drop adjacent products you don't want, and return each clip with its exact quote, timestamp, participant role, study and link. Ranking by how clearly someone describes a problem rather than a preference surfaces the clips that change minds. You still pick the final cut.

How to run it in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot

The prompt is the same in every tool. What changes is where you connect Great Question and where you paste it.

Run it in Claude

  1. 1

    Connect Great Question to Claude

    In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it Great Question, paste https://greatquestion.co/api/mcp/v1, then Save and Connect and sign in with your Great Question account. Restart Claude so the tools load.

  2. 2

    Paste the prompt

    Start a new chat and paste the prompt. Claude asks before it uses each Great Question tool; allow the read tools, and read anything it proposes to write before you allow it.

Your admin has to switch the MCP on in Great Question first. The MCP guide covers every tool, the security model and a team rollout.

The tools it calls

Named so you can see exactly what the agent touches before you let it near anything.

  • search_repo_highlights
  • get_repo_highlight
  • list_repo_reels
  • get_repo_session

What we never automate

Four rules sit under every workflow here, and they matter more than the workflows.

  • Nothing reaches a participant without a person

    No workflow sends an invitation, an email or a reminder. The MCP can do those things. They are left out on purpose, because a scheduled job that contacts your customers is a different category of risk from one that reads a transcript.

  • Nothing launches a study without a person

    An agent can build the screener and draft the messages. Someone still presses go.

  • Nothing reaches a stakeholder unchecked

    The synthesis workflows hand you quotes with links attached so you can check them in one click. Use the click. A misattributed quote in a board deck costs more than the hour it saved.

  • Nothing sees more than the person who connected it

    Permissions follow the individual, so an agent connected by a PM reaches exactly what that PM reaches. Your admin decides whether it is available at all.

Questions

Can AI automatically highlight important moments in user interviews?

It can find and rank them. Great Question already generates highlights from sessions; this workflow searches across them and shortlists the ones worth showing. Choosing what goes in front of stakeholders stays with you.

Why rank by problems rather than preferences?

“I'd like a dark mode” is a preference. “I export this to a spreadsheet every Friday because I can't filter it here” is a problem, and it's the kind of clip that gets a team to act.

Does it build the reel too?

No, it hands you the shortlist. You build the reel in highlight reels from the clips you keep.
