How to build a survey with AI

Use AI to instantly design a first draft survey based on your company, objectives, and market context.

Updated over 3 months ago

Creating surveys can be time‑consuming, but our AI builder helps you generate a high‑quality survey draft within minutes. All you need to do is fill out a short form with context about your project.


Step 1: Select “Build with AI”

From your dashboard:

  1. Click Create a Survey.

  2. Choose Build with AI.


Step 2: Fill out the Basic Settings

Step 2: Fill out the Basic Settings

In this section you’ll define the essential information about your project so the AI can create the most accurate survey for your needs.

  • Survey context → Pick the purpose of your survey:

    • Pitch → Use this option if you’re preparing a survey draft for a client presentation or internal management pitch.

    • Client project → Choose this when running research on behalf of a client, with specific deliverables expected.

    • Own brand research → Select this if the survey is for your company’s own campaigns, brand tracking, or concept testing.

    • Other → Use this when the project doesn’t fit the options above.

  • Audience description → Briefly describe who you want feedback from.
    Example: Young parents aged 25–40, living in urban areas, who regularly shop online.

  • Country & language → Choose the country and survey language.
    📘 Tip: Surveys can be generated in multiple languages. If the one you need is missing, contact [email protected].

  • Survey length → Decide how long your survey should be:

    • Short (~5–8 questions) → Best for high response rates and simple objectives.

    • Average (~10–15 questions) → Balanced length for most general consumer research studies.

    • Long (~15–20+ questions) → Use for deep dives when measuring multiple angles (e.g., attitudes, usage, and profiling).


Step 3: Adjust the Advanced Settings (optional)

This section helps the AI fine‑tune your survey. Use it when you need more control over survey objectives, style, and structure.

Research focus / objectives
Pick what you’re trying to learn:

  • Brand awareness / funnel → how people discover, consider, and choose your brand

  • Campaign evaluation → measure recall, lift, or the impact of an ad campaign

  • Concept testing → check reactions to new products, services, slogans, or visuals before launch

  • Audience profiling / segmentation → understand who your customers are and how they differ

  • Usage & Attitudes (U&A) → map how customers use similar products, their habits, and motivations

  • Other → anything outside the common categories

Tone & question style
Decide how the survey “sounds” to respondents:

  • Standard (neutral, professional) → best for general consumer.

  • Engaging (consumer‑friendly) → more casual and conversational wording

  • Expert (technical / B2B) → suited to specialist audiences (e.g., IT managers, clinicians)

Data needs
Tell AI what type of responses matter most:

  • Quant only → focus on structured scales and multiple choice

  • Quant + a few open questions → add limited free‑text answers for depth

  • Open‑text emphasis → prioritize respondent explanations, opinions, and qualitative input

Constraints / priorities
Add extra requirements for how the survey should work:

  • Must be fast to answer (<5 min) → ensures high completion among busy respondents

  • Must highlight emotional reactions → great for ads, creatives, or concept tests

  • Must compare X vs. Y → useful when benchmarking products or campaigns

  • Must be highly visual/engaging → makes the survey interactive and easy to complete

  • Other → any unique constraint

📘 Tip: You don’t need to use every setting — pick the ones that truly shape your project’s outcome.


Step 4: Generate questions

Once the form is complete:

  1. Click Generate Questions.

  2. AI creates a draft survey tailored to your inputs.

  3. You can always regenerate, edit, or add more questions manually.


Step 5: Review and finalize

  • Edit or reorder questions

  • Apply logic and branching if needed

  • Add languages for multi‑market audiences

  • Preview the survey as respondents will see it
