How to create a survey with AI

To create a survey with AI in Inquira, describe your research goal in one sentence, let AI draft the questions, refine anything you want, and publish a shareable link — the whole flow takes about a minute.

Traditional survey building starts with a blank canvas: you write each question, pick a type, and set the order yourself. AI survey generation flips that — you state what you want to learn, and the tool drafts a coherent questionnaire you can edit.

Steps

  1. Describe your research goal. Write one sentence about what you want to learn, e.g. "Post-purchase satisfaction for first-time buyers, focused on delivery and product quality." The clearer the goal, the sharper the draft.
  2. Let AI draft the survey. Inquira generates 6–10 questions with appropriate types (single/multiple choice, rating scale, open text, matrix, NPS) and a sensible order in about 30 seconds.
  3. Review and refine. Edit wording, add or remove questions, change types, and set logic branching so questions show or hide based on earlier answers.
  4. Publish and share. Publish the survey to get a shareable link. Respondents answer without needing an account; you can set deadlines and response limits.
  5. Collect and analyze. Watch responses arrive in real time, then generate an AI analysis report to turn them into an executive summary, metrics, and recommended actions.

Tips for a better AI-generated survey

Name your audience and the moment ("first-time buyers, right after delivery") so questions match context.

State the decision you want to make — a survey aimed at a decision produces more actionable questions than a vague "feedback" prompt.

Keep it to one primary goal per survey; split unrelated goals into separate surveys.
