Create your survey

Customer experience analysis has evolved beyond spreadsheets and static surveys into dynamic, AI-powered conversations that capture the full story behind every interaction.

We'll explore a complete end-to-end workflow that transforms how teams collect, analyze, and act on customer feedback using AI—making it easy to connect with your audience, uncover trends, and drive action through conversational surveys.

Recruit customers with landing page interviews

The first step in the AI CX analysis workflow is casting a wide net to bring in valuable customer voices. Landing page conversational surveys act as standalone interview experiences—ideal for running feedback outreach at scale. Whether you’re running email campaigns, social media outreach, or public customer panels, you can invite your audience to share insights through a simple, chat-style survey.

These conversations, delivered via dedicated survey pages, land as links your customers can access from anywhere—email, Slack, community forums, newsletters, or direct messages. This flexibility lets you target your survey to the context where your customers already engage.

  • Product teams validating new feature concepts via community mailing lists

  • Customer experience leads gathering sentiment after major updates via user groups

  • Growth teams running NPS-style interviews directly from summer promo campaigns

Because the survey feels like a conversation, not a cold form, people open up and share real context about their experience.

Response rates: Conversational formats typically see higher engagement than traditional form-based surveys—by as much as 40% in some cases, according to Forrester Research.[1] You get richer stories without the friction or abandonment caused by endless checkboxes.

Distribution flexibility: Unlike embedded widgets, landing page interviews can go anywhere: in-app tips, post-support emails, SMS—a link is all you need to start, making it easy to reach specific segments or mass audiences.

Deploy in-product surveys at moments of truth

Moments of truth are those pivotal points in the customer journey where a single experience defines satisfaction, loyalty, or churn. AI-powered in-product conversational surveys zero in on these moments—whether it’s right after a user adopts a new feature, completes a purchase, interacts with support, or is approaching a renewal decision.

By using conversational in-product surveys, you capture honest and immediate reactions while memories are fresh. This makes feedback more accurate and actionable.

Behavioral triggers: Surveys appear based on live user actions—like clicking a new feature or hitting a usage milestone. You get the details you need as customers live the experience, not days later when details are already fuzzy.

Contextual targeting: Filter who sees the survey by plan tier (Pro, Enterprise), recent activity, or segment—so power users get one kind of question, and new sign-ups get another. This precision means every response is hyper-relevant, and you can probe based on what matters most to each customer profile.

AI-powered follow-up questions adapt in real time, digging deeper based on what each person actually says. Read more about Automated AI follow-up questions to see how it works in action.

This creates an interview that genuinely listens—one that feels less like a pop-up and more like a dialogue, dramatically increasing answer quality and context.

Analyze feedback with AI summaries and conversational insights

Once responses start rolling in, you get the real power of AI CX analysis workflow. Each response flows into an analysis engine that instantly summarizes open-ended answers, captures sentiment, and clusters themes so you see the big picture without getting buried in spreadsheets.

The AI-powered analysis chat interface works like a research analyst on demand: ask questions, apply filters, and pull insights from thousands of replies in seconds.

Smart filtering: Target your analysis by plan tier (compare Enterprise with Starter), user cohort (segment new sign-ups vs. power users), or NPS score (focus on detractors vs. promoters). For example, you might want to know exactly why your Enterprise clients stay or leave, not just what everyone thinks collectively.

Multiple analysis threads: Spin up parallel chats for every angle—churn reasons, feature requests, pricing sentiment, onboarding friction—so you don’t lose sight of specific business challenges.

Use these example prompts to unlock practical insights from your survey data:

Finding churn patterns across customer segments

Which themes appear most often in responses from customers who recently downgraded or canceled, and how do these differ by plan tier?

Identifying feature requests by plan tier

Show the top feature requests for Starter plan users, compared to what Enterprise customers ask for. What’s unique to each group?

Understanding satisfaction drivers for different cohorts

Which factors drive high satisfaction among new users, and are these different from satisfaction drivers for veteran customers?

Research shows that 80% of companies using real-time, AI-powered customer analytics report faster identification of both risks and opportunities in their journey mapping.[2]

If you’re after structured insights, you can always export response tables or copy AI-generated summaries directly into decks and reports—no extra steps required.

Export insights and close the customer feedback loop

Great CX analysis is useless unless you act on it. That’s why AI-powered workflows in Specific are designed to push you over the finish line: exporting summaries, downloading detailed response sets, or sharing top findings with stakeholders—all in a click.

But the real advantage? Iteration. Closing the loop with your customers shows them you listened, fuels further feedback, and creates brand advocates in the process.

Quick wins identification: AI highlights low-effort, high-impact changes you can ship fast—like updating onboarding emails, smoothing friction on a pricing page, or clarifying help documentation.

Strategic insights: Beyond the quick fixes, AI analysis pulls out deeper patterns that inform long-term decisions: is a particular user cohort asking for products you don’t offer? Are power users struggling with upcoming changes? Regularly surfacing these themes charts your next moves.

Run a follow-up survey—targeted precisely to those who weighed in before—to validate whether your improvements hit the mark. This builds a continuous cycle, where every customer conversation powers the next step forward in your product or service.

According to Gartner, organizations that close the feedback loop see up to a 25% increase in customer retention rates—a measurable win for making engagement cyclical, not transactional.[3]

Build your AI-powered customer experience workflow

Here’s the modern feedback loop: Recruit → Deploy → Analyze → Act → Repeat. Every step, powered by conversational AI, helps you capture context-rich stories, extract actionable insights, and build better experiences—faster than ever before.

  • Start small: run a landing page interview for your biggest unknown

  • Expand: trigger in-product surveys at live journey moments for targeted feedback

  • Analyze: use AI summaries and smart filters for the clearest insights

  • Act: export findings, close the loop, and measure improvements

Want to get started? Use an AI survey generator and create your own survey in minutes with a prompt of any kind—then launch the full workflow, from recruiter to analyst to action-taker, with one platform.

If you’re not capturing feedback at key moments, you’re missing the story behind your metrics. Create your own survey and start building your customer experience analysis workflow today.
