This is an example of an AI survey about parking availability for citizens—see and try the example to experience how conversational feedback works in practice.

Most citizen surveys on parking availability struggle to get meaningful, complete responses and suffer from low participation rates.

At Specific, we help people create smarter, more engaging surveys—our conversational AI survey tools are designed for richer insights.

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

We’ve all hit walls with traditional citizen surveys: people get lost in form fields, rush through questions, or give vague answers. When it comes to understanding parking availability, this means missing real pain points or actionable ideas. With AI survey generators, we get a different outcome.

Conversational surveys powered by AI interact with each respondent as if they’re speaking to a helpful researcher—asking clarifying questions and adapting on the fly. It's like an ongoing dialogue, not just ticking boxes. This method consistently delivers completion rates of 70-80%, which is far better than the typical 45-50% you see with older survey methods.

Why use AI for citizen surveys?

• Higher quality data: AI probes deeper and clarifies ambiguous responses

• Time savings: No manual question building or follow-up emails

• Better citizen engagement: Feels like a natural chat, making it easier to share real issues

At Specific, we’ve prioritized best-in-class user experience. Our conversational surveys are smooth for both creators and citizens, resulting in more accurate feedback and richer insights.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of the biggest breakthroughs is automatic follow-up questions. Specific’s AI looks at what a citizen just said and instantly asks a smart question that digs deeper, just like a skilled interviewer. This approach eliminates the endless back-and-forth of manual emails or calls. Feedback is rich, and context is always clear.

Here’s how it plays out with real-world parking feedback:

• Citizen: “It’s hard to find parking near main street.”

• AI follow-up: “What time of day do you usually look for parking on main street, and how long does it typically take you?”

If you skip follow-up questions, you get things like:

• Citizen: “Parking is bad.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you tell me more about what makes parking difficult for you?”

Without these conversational follow-ups, responses stay vague and hard to act on. Try generating your own survey in Specific and experience this dynamic conversation firsthand—or, check out more on our AI follow-up questions feature.

These follow-ups are what make a survey truly conversational. Every answer leads to meaningful, relevant exploration.

Survey delivery options for citizen feedback on parking

Reaching citizens about parking availability should be effortless and accessible. With Specific, you can distribute your survey in ways that really work:

• Sharable landing page surveys—Send a unique link via email, newsletters, or social media so citizens can respond anytime. Great for public polls or community initiatives about parking experiences.

• In-product surveys—Ask for parking feedback directly in relevant digital properties, like a city services portal or municipal app. Get real-time input when citizens are already engaged.

For most city-wide or neighborhood parking projects, sharable landing page surveys make it simple to reach a broad cross-section of the community. But in-product surveys can be powerful if you want to target specific users in apps or websites related to transit, payments, or local government.

With Specific, the platform automatically summarizes key themes, pulls out trends, and translates citizen feedback into clear, actionable insights—no spreadsheets or manual work. Features like automatic topic detection and a powerful AI survey analysis chat let you interact directly with your results.
