Survey example: API Developers survey about api performance

Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.

Here’s an example of an AI survey for API developers about API performance—and you can see and try the example directly. Take a look at how effortless feedback collection can be.

Building effective API developer API performance surveys is tough. Most forms get low response rates or yield shallow insights, leaving you guessing about the real issues.

At Specific, we know how to make feedback collection from API developers both productive and painless. All tools on this page tap into Specific’s trusted expertise with conversational, AI-driven surveys.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for API developers

Most API performance surveys struggle with engagement because they feel like dry forms, not real conversations. API developers are busy—and traditional approaches rarely produce deep feedback or high completion rates.

That’s where AI survey generation changes the game. Instead of static forms, AI-powered conversational surveys actually chat with respondents, adapting questions on the fly. For API developers, this means interactive, natural conversations that capture richer feedback without interrupting their flow.

Manual survey creation is slow, rigid, and often results in guesswork. With AI, the survey is built by simply telling the system your topic—no fiddling with forms, logic, or scripting needed. The AI generator does the heavy lifting, designing smart, context-aware questions from the start.

Why use AI for API developer surveys?

  • AI survey examples built for API developers are conversational—responses feel more like a supportive Slack exchange than a form fill.

  • Data shows that AI-driven conversational surveys boost completion rates by up to 40% versus traditional survey forms, especially among technical audiences with tight schedules. [1]

  • Specific’s builder handles all the framework and logic, so you just focus on what insights you want—not the busywork.

With Specific, API developer surveys become a smooth, engaging experience—both for those creating surveys and developers answering them. The AI survey generator makes it easy to go from draft to deploy without the usual obstacles. Want to know what to ask?

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

What sets conversational surveys apart is the use of AI for automatic follow-up questions. With Specific, our surveys ask smart, in-context follow-ups—just as a sharp product researcher would in a live interview. This goes far beyond static surveys and gets at genuine, rich feedback.

For API developer API performance research, this is massive: instead of reading vague replies and wondering what they meant, the survey probes deeper. It clarifies, digs into specifics, and uncovers what matters without manual chasing.

  • API developer: “Our team sometimes runs into slowdowns.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you describe a recent situation where response times were noticeably slow? What tool or endpoint were you using?”

Without these context-aware follow-ups, you’d be left with unclear feedback—and missing the insight that drives real improvements. These smart probes save tons of time compared to email chains or manual interviews. To see this in action, try creating a survey—it’s truly next-level.

These dynamic follow-ups turn the survey into a genuine conversation. That’s why this model is called a conversational survey. Learn more about how our AI follow-up questions feature works.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your API performance survey is just as simple as creating it. With Specific’s AI survey editor, you chat your changes—“Add a question about auth latency,” or “Make it friendlier”—and the AI instantly refines the survey, suggesting expert-level tweaks. There’s no clicking through endless menus or worrying about logic. What used to take hours, now happens in seconds. You control the conversation and the content—no expertise required.

Effortless distribution: send to API developers anywhere

You can deliver your API performance survey in two seamless ways, both optimized for API developers and technical stakeholders:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Instantly share a link via Slack, email, or newsletters. Perfect for gathering feedback from your developer community or partners outside your core product.

  • In-product surveys: Reach developers right inside your API platform or SaaS environment, at the most relevant moment—like after a release, performance tweak, or support case. This method eliminates drop-off because feedback happens while the experience is fresh.

For API performance feedback, in-product conversational surveys are especially effective—developers can respond in context, increasing accuracy and immediacy.

Analyze survey responses with AI, instantly

Once developers respond, Specific’s AI-powered survey analysis goes to work—summarizing answers, highlighting recurring performance problems, and surfacing actionable insights without spreadsheets or grunt work.

Automatic topic detection finds trends, and you can chat directly with the AI to explore specifics. Curious how it works? Check our guide to how to analyze API developer API performance survey responses with AI and see how automated survey insights make analysis frictionless.
