When conducting an AI moderated study, you have a few options to find just the voices you want to hear.
To recruit for your study, you can: * **Auto-recruit from Dscout's Scout Panel:** Build a screener into your study to qualify or disqualify applicants from Dscout’s existing Scout Panel. Those who meet your criteria automatically advance to your study. Those who don’t are rejected. * **Auto-recruit from Partner Panels:** Build a screener into your study to qualify or disqualify applicants from Dscout’s Partner Panels like Respondent. Participants complete your screener on the relevant third-party platform and are then redirected to Dscout to complete the study if they qualify. For more information, see [Auto-recruit from Partner Panels](/recruit-participants/partner-panels/auto-recruit-from-partner-panels.md). * **Recruit from standalone screener:** Invite participants you've already found using a Dscout screener to your study. For more information, see [Add participants from a screener to an AI moderated study](/ai-moderated-studies/what-are-ai-moderated-studies/add-participants-from-a-screener-to-an-ai-moderated-study.md). * **Invite your own participants using a share link:** Generate a share link to send to participants you've found outside of Dscout. For more information, see [Share AI moderated study links with participants](/ai-moderated-studies/manage-an-ai-moderated-study/share-ai-moderated-study-link-with-participants.md). * **Invite your own participants from Private Panels:** Add participants to your study from your own Private Panels. For more information, see [Add panelists to a Dscout study from Private Panels](/private-panels/get-started/add-panelists-to-a-dscout-study-from-private-panels.md). {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** You can only use one recruitment approach per study. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.dscout.com/ai-moderated-studies/what-are-ai-moderated-studies/recruitment-options-in-an-ai-moderated-study.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
