This is an example of an AI survey example tailored for a College Graduate Student audience focused on TA Experience—see and try the example now to experience how a conversational survey works for your research or class project.

Designing surveys about TA experience often feels like guesswork—it's tough to capture honest feedback without boring forms or incomplete answers.

Here at Specific, we build expert-grade tools to help you create, launch, and analyze conversational surveys that dig deeper and produce real insights, faster than any manual method can.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for College Graduate Student feedback

Getting authentic feedback from graduate students about their teaching assistant (TA) experience is notoriously tricky. Students are busy, responses can be short, and static surveys fall flat.

This is where AI survey generators shine. Instead of rigid, old-school forms, conversational surveys powered by AI feel like a genuine chat. You simply describe what you need—the AI instantly builds a survey that asks smart, open-ended questions, dynamically adapting as the conversation unfolds.

Compared to traditional survey creation, this is a true time-saver. In fact, according to a recent Gallup and Walton Family Foundation poll, 60% of U.S. teachers who use AI tools reported saving up to six hours a week on routine tasks—imagine the lift for researchers and students running surveys!

• AI-powered conversational surveys keep busy grad students engaged and comfortable sharing honest, specific feedback.

• Survey creators get fully-customized questions—no more endless editing and manual logic.

• Follow-up questions are tailored in real time, making each survey session unique and insightful.

Specific delivers a best-in-class user experience for both survey creators and College Graduate Student respondents—making the feedback process smooth, natural, and genuinely useful.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

It’s one thing to ask a question—it’s another to listen and keep the conversation going. With Specific, AI-powered automatic follow-up questions respond to each answer in real time, probing for clarity, examples, or motivations—like a sharp human interviewer.

Why does this matter? If you don’t follow up, you risk gathering vague, incomplete, or misleading feedback. Here’s what that can look like in practice:

• Student: "My TA was helpful most of the time."

• AI follow-up: "Can you share a specific situation where the TA made a real difference for you? What did they do?"

Without the follow-up, you’re left guessing what “helpful” means. With it, you get actionable details—and richer, more meaningful insights. Discover more about this feature at automatic AI follow-up questions.

This conversational flow means you don’t have to ping respondents later or wade through unclear responses. Everything happens live, saving hours of back-and-forth emails or clarification requests.

These automated follow-up prompts are a breakthrough for feedback research—take a minute to generate your own survey and see how this seamless conversation unfolds.

Thanks to these real-time, contextual follow-ups, surveys no longer feel like dull data entry—they become a human conversation.

Easy editing, like magic

If you need to tweak a question or add another detail, you don't have to start from scratch or wade through confusing menus. Just tell the AI what you want changed—add a question about TA office hours or tweak the language for friendlier tone. The AI survey editor instantly updates your survey, handling all the complex logic behind the scenes. Even longer, more complex changes are completed in seconds.

Simple ways to deliver the survey to College Graduate Students

When it’s time to collect responses, you have flexible survey delivery options, so every College Graduate Student can access your TA Experience survey:

• Sharable landing page surveys — Perfect for emailing links to grad students, sharing in campus groups, or posting in course forums. Great for periodic department-wide TA feedback or inviting broad participation.

• In-product surveys — Drop the conversational survey directly into the student portal or learning management system, capturing on-the-spot feedback right after grading or course sessions.

For TA Experience, both methods work well—landing pages for broad, asynchronous feedback, and in-product surveys for immediate, in-context responses.

Smart, instant AI analysis of College Graduate Student survey responses
