Survey example: Citizen survey about job opportunities and economic development

This is an example of a conversational AI survey about job opportunities and economic development for citizens. If you want to see and try the example, here’s your chance.

Building effective citizen surveys on job prospects and economic growth is tough—response rates are low, feedback is shallow, and traditional forms just don’t click with most people.

At Specific, we’ve seen what actually works. All the survey tools you find here are powered by Specific’s AI-driven technology for smoother, smarter feedback collection.

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

It’s no secret: getting actionable insights from citizens about job opportunities and economic development has always been a real challenge. Traditional surveys feel impersonal and are skipped or ignored because people get bored or frustrated. Even when you do get responses, they’re often rushed or incomplete.

That’s where AI survey generators step in. Instead of static forms, an AI-powered conversational survey example interacts with people like a chat—probing, clarifying, and adapting based on each response. The benefits are hard to overlook:

• It feels more human and comfortable—respondents just reply as they would in any chat.

• AI can tweak the conversation to keep people engaged, powering through drop-off moments where old-fashioned surveys lose everyone.

• With Specific’s conversational surveys, citizens find it easier to express themselves in detail—leading to richer feedback.

Manual vs. AI-generated surveys:

Why use AI for citizen surveys? The numbers are compelling: AI surveys can reach completion rates as high as 90%, compared to the 10–30% we see with legacy methods[1]. That’s because AI continually adjusts to keep people engaged, and the chat-like flow is friendlier than yet another mandatory form.

If you’re tired of outdated survey tools, Specific delivers a best-in-class conversational experience—making it just as easy for you to build surveys as it is for citizens to respond.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Gathering feedback from citizens isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about context and clarity. This is where Specific’s AI shines: it listens to what a respondent says and asks smart follow-ups, just like an expert interviewer. Each follow-up is tailored, collecting details no traditional survey can match.

Why does this matter? For one, you save hours chasing down respondents for clarification over email or phone. Plus, the conversation feels natural—people are far more likely to open up, helping you discover nuanced perspectives.

• Citizen: “There aren’t enough jobs for young people in my area.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share more about the types of jobs you feel are missing for young people locally?”

• Citizen: “I’m not satisfied with economic growth.”

• AI follow-up: “What changes or investments would help improve economic growth in your community?”

Without these follow-ups, feedback stays vague—and insights fall flat. AI-generated follow-ups are a game-changer. Experience this feature by generating or trying a survey; it’s built right into the flow. If you want to dig into how this works, dive into our automatic AI follow-up questions feature.

With follow-ups, the survey becomes a true conversation—this is what makes it a conversational survey example, not merely a list of questions.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your survey in Specific is nothing like wrangling with clunky form builders. You simply chat with the AI—tell it what you want changed, and the survey updates itself in seconds with the expertise of a professional survey designer. All the tedious logic, branching, or tone-of-voice tweaks are handled instantly. If you want a different approach or question set, just say so. It’s as easy as talking—and takes far less time.

Survey delivery: reach citizens where it matters most

You need to meet people where they are—so Specific supports:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Great for wide public outreach, social media, newsletters, or QR codes—perfect for citizen engagement on broad topics like job creation and economic prospects in your area.

• In-product surveys: Ideal if you have an official app or civic website where citizens interact regularly—catch them in context and collect feedback right as issues or ideas arise.

For most public-facing job opportunity and economic development initiatives, landing page surveys are usually the go-to—easy to share, open to everyone, and familiar for citizens. If you want targeted feedback from an active audience using your digital service, in-product delivery wins.

AI survey analysis: instant, actionable insights

Once you’ve collected responses, Specific’s AI instantly gets to work. The platform summarizes citizen feedback, highlights key themes, and uncovers issues or opportunities—no spreadsheets or manual coding. This is AI survey analysis at its best—you simply ask the AI questions about trends or sentiment. With 95% sentiment analysis accuracy and 60% faster processing than classic methods[2], it’s the future of automated survey insights.
