Most people struggle to create effective Citizen Small Business Support surveys—asking the right questions, keeping respondents engaged, and making sense of the results.

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

It’s no secret: getting authentic, high-quality feedback from citizens about small business support is tough. Traditional forms feel cold and impersonal, so people abandon them—or give half-hearted answers. That’s why conversational surveys are a game-changer for public feedback.

A conversational survey is like a natural chat—not a static list of questions. You get a back-and-forth interaction that adapts based on each respondent's input. This approach dramatically improves engagement: AI-powered surveys achieve completion rates between 70% and 90%, while traditional surveys only get 10% to 30% [1]. When surveys feel more like a conversation and less like paperwork, people stick with them and provide richer, more thoughtful answers.

So what really makes an AI survey example special for Citizen feedback? The intelligence behind the scenes. An AI survey generator instantly creates a tailored experience, probes for context, and keeps people engaged—all without you having to wrangle with tedious setup. It’s quicker, smarter, and more scalable than manual survey design.

Specific offers best-in-class user experience for conversational surveys, ensuring every respondent feels heard—so you gather genuine feedback and make smarter decisions. Looking for more tips? Check out our guide to the best questions for Citizen Small Business Support surveys.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The heart of a true conversational survey is how it follows up—not just what it asks first. With Specific’s smart AI, you never get stuck with vague, missing, or confusing answers. The AI asks meaningful follow-ups based on each respondent’s previous reply and the context of your survey—in real time, just like a researcher would.

Why is this so valuable? If you skip follow-ups, you might get answers that are too brief or unclear. See how it plays out:

  • Citizen: “The city should do more to help local shops.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you share a specific example of support you believe would help small businesses?”

If you only took the first answer, you'd miss the details that turn feedback into action.

Manual surveys rarely capture this depth—usually, you'd have to email back-and-forth, which costs time and effort. With AI, it’s instant and natural, saving time for both you and your respondents. Curious how these follow-ups feel? Try generating a survey with Specific and see the full experience in action. See more on our automatic AI follow-up questions feature page.

These follow-ups are what transform an ordinary form into a conversational survey—so it feels like an engaging, relevant discussion, not a chore.

Easy editing, like magic

Most survey platforms force you to wrestle with forms, logic trees, and endless clicking. With Specific, editing your AI survey example is as simple as chatting. Describe what you want to change, and the AI will update your survey instantly—bringing the expertise of a trained survey builder to your fingertips.

No more manual editing field-by-field. You can reword questions, add clarifying language, adjust follow-up intensity, or switch tones in seconds. The whole process is smooth—and actually fun. Explore how easy survey editing is with our AI survey editor.
