User survey about feature requests

Getting actionable feature requests from users shouldn’t take hours or specialized tools. With Specific, you can generate a high-quality, AI-powered survey in seconds—just click a button and you’re ready to collect insights about what your users want next.

Why user feature request surveys matter

If you’re not running targeted surveys around feature requests, you’re missing out on better product decisions and a competitive edge. The importance of user recognition and feedback is backed by hard numbers—companies using AI-powered survey tools have seen a 25% increase in response rates and a 30% improvement in data quality compared to traditional surveys. [1]

• User feedback reveals real pain points before they turn into lost opportunities.

• Feature request surveys give users a voice—showing them you’re listening and value their insight.

• You identify trends and prioritize the most requested features, shaping a roadmap grounded in evidence, not guesswork.

Effective user feedback collection also keeps you close to your users, turning passive users into advocates. Ignoring this step means features may flop or, worse, users churn for competitors who listen better.

How AI survey generators outperform traditional tools

The AI survey generator from Specific changes the game. Unlike manual builders or plain forms, smart AI instantly translates your goals—“I want to gather new feature feedback”—into a set of questions tailored to spark honest responses and minimize user effort.

Manual vs. AI-generated surveys:

Why use AI for user surveys?

• Higher response and completion rates. Surveys built with AI have achieved completion rates of 70–90%, compared to the average traditional range of 10–30%. [1]

• Fewer errors and bias. AI tailors each question to user context, leading to up to 25% fewer inconsistencies in the data. [2]

• AI-generated conversational surveys feel more human, which helps users open up and share actionable detail.

With Specific, both survey creators and respondents get a smooth, engaging experience—from idea to insight—making it effortless to launch and collect valuable user feedback on feature requests.

If you want to further customize, you can also edit your survey just by chatting with AI.

Crafting questions that bring real insight

Getting great feedback starts with the right questions. Here’s an example of what not to ask versus what you should:

• Bad: “Do you have any suggestions?” (Too broad—users rarely know where to start and usually skip it.)

• Good: “What’s one thing you wish the product could do that it doesn’t right now?” (Specific, actionable, focused on their needs.)

Specific’s AI survey builder avoids weak or biased questions by applying proven frameworks—so you don’t have to guess. Our AI system asks naturally, skips jargon, and makes sure each question targets real-world user pain points.

Actionable tip: Focus every question on a clear outcome and ask for specifics, not just opinions. If you want even better prompts, check out our guide to the best questions for user feature request surveys.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One superpower in conversational surveys is AI-powered follow-up questions. Specific’s engine listens to what the user says, then—like a sharp interviewer—asks precise follow-ups on the spot to fill gaps, clarify intent, and get richer context. This removes the back-and-forth of email follow-ups, saving hours.

Without follow-up questions, you often get unclear responses. Here’s how that looks:

• User: “The dashboard needs work.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you tell me more—what specific changes to the dashboard would make your workflow easier?”

Without smart follow-ups, feedback stays vague, forcing teams to guess or schedule time-consuming clarifications. You can see more about automatic AI follow-up questions here.

Follow-up questions make the survey a real conversation—transforming dry forms into a conversational survey that builds trust and surfaces deeper insight.

If you haven’t tried this yet, it’s worth generating a survey and seeing how a conversation feels in action.

How to deliver your survey to users

Once your conversational survey is ready, delivery is easy and flexible based on your audience and topic. With Specific, you can:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Great for reaching users via email, public posts, newsletters, or social channels. For feature requests, you might share the link with your user community to collect ideas broadly.

• In-product surveys: Perfect for SaaS or web products—showcase the survey as a chat widget inside your app. Target users actively engaging with your product and collect feedback or feature requests at peak relevance, such as after they interact with a new update or miss a feature.

Both methods work for feature request surveys, but in-product delivery wins if you want context-specific insights during a real user session. Landing pages are effective for open calls or when you need volume quickly.
