Anyone you can reach: your own users, a customer list, or participants sourced to match the audience you are trying to learn from. Convo interviews them wherever they are, with no scheduling.
The problems they face, how they solve them today, what frustrates them about existing solutions, and what they value most. Convo asks open-ended questions and adapts every follow-up to what each person says.
