Conversational Feedback

Surveys are a critical tool for gathering insights, but traditional survey experiences often feel rigid and impersonal, leading to poor response quality, incomplete answers, and missed opportunities for deeper insights. This case study explores how we leveraged Conversational AI to transform the survey experience, making it more intuitive, engaging, and effective for both researchers and respondents.

The Problem

The current survey experience has several pain points:

Poor Response Quality: Respondents often provide incomplete or low-quality answers, limiting actionable insights

Rigid Interactions: Surveys feel transactional, discouraging honest and open responses

Lack of Real-Time Adjustments: Researchers cannot address misunderstandings or follow up on responses in real time, leading to inconsistent data.

These challenges hinder the ability of brands and researchers to gather meaningful insights and take actionable steps.
