Why surveying Office Hours Attendees about expectations matters

Skipping expectation surveys with your Office Hours Attendees leaves valuable insights on the table. Understanding attendees’ expectations sets the stage for higher engagement, more relevant sessions, and better outcomes for everyone involved. If you’re not running these surveys, you’re probably missing out on:

• Spotting topics and needs up front—you get to see what people want before they show up.

• Identifying potential friction—catch misunderstandings before they disrupt your sessions.

• Improving attendance and satisfaction—when people feel heard, they’re more likely to join and participate.

The real kicker is the difference in results: AI-powered surveys like the ones we build at Specific see completion rates of 70-80%, compared to just 45-50% for traditional forms [1]. That’s not just a number—that’s more attendees sharing what they need so you can actually deliver value. If your goal is to run successful and relevant office hours, neglecting this feedback loop almost guarantees you’ll fall behind.

How to design questions that drive insights (the Specific way)

The heart of a strong Office Hours Attendee Expectations survey is in its questions. Specific’s AI generator prevents the usual problems: vague, biased, or unhelpful prompts that leave you with generic or confusing responses.

For example:

• Bad: “Are the sessions useful?” (Too broad and closed-ended.)

• Good: “What are you hoping to achieve in our upcoming session, and is there a specific challenge you’d like help with?” (Open, actionable, and lets attendees share their priorities.)

When we use AI, it scans for common survey design traps. AI can detect leading questions and suggest neutral alternatives, which reduces bias and helps you get honest feedback [3]. Specific’s builder also helps phrase open-ended prompts for clarity, probing for context without overwhelming the respondent.

Here’s a simple tip even if you’re building your own surveys: always ask questions that start with “What,” “Why,” or "How" to invite detailed insight.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Traditional surveys stop at the first answer. That’s not enough. Specific’s AI survey generator shines here—by using real-time context to ask smart, relevant follow-ups based on what the respondent actually says.

Instead of chasing down clarifications with email or getting stuck with incomplete answers, the AI keeps the conversation going, naturally and instantly. You save time, your insights get richer, and your respondents feel truly understood.

What happens if you skip the follow-up? Here’s how:

• Office Hours Attendee: “I just want my questions answered quickly.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you share an example of a time when a session met or didn’t meet this need? What does ‘quickly’ mean for you—are there parts of the format we should tweak?”

Without a prompt like that, you’d have almost nothing actionable to work with. With AI, each answer becomes a true, ongoing conversation—maximizing the depth and clarity of every response. Try generating a survey with follow-ups now to see how much better the experience feels.

Follow-ups make the survey a conversation, not just a form—this is what a real conversational survey looks like.

Easy, flexible delivery options for Office Hours Attendee Expectations surveys

Once you’ve built your survey, you want it in front of the right Office Hours Attendees with zero hassle. Specific offers two delivery methods, tailored to your needs:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Instantly create a unique URL you can drop into emails, event invites, or shared chat groups. Perfect if you want to gather expectations from attendees before the session—send them the link as part of your registration or reminder flow.

• In-product surveys: Embed the conversational survey directly into your platform or event portal. Attendees can share expectations as soon as they join, or even while the session is ongoing—contextual, seamless, and right where you need it.

For most Office Hours Attendee Expectations surveys, the landing page option offers the simplest distribution—every attendee gets the same easy link, no tech setup needed. If you’re already running a digital platform, embedding the survey in-product lets you pop up at just the right moment.
