Survey example: Employee survey about employee engagement

This is an example of an AI survey about employee engagement. The interactive survey example lets you see and try it right away—so you can experience a smarter way to gather candid employee feedback.

We know it’s a pain to get employees to actually fill out engagement surveys—especially if they’re too long or feel like another boring HR form no one reads.

At Specific, we specialize in AI conversational surveys that tackle these exact problems—turning stilted, incomplete responses into actionable insights.

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

Anyone who's created an employee engagement survey knows how tough it is to get good completion rates and truly honest input. People skip questions, rush through with one-word answers, or drop out halfway. That’s usually down to impersonal forms and clunky survey layouts.

Conversational surveys—especially with an AI survey builder—change all that. Instead of a static questionnaire, employees chat with an AI agent that listens and adapts just like a human (minus the pressure). This back-and-forth makes respondents feel heard, not interrogated.

What sets AI-generated surveys apart from manual survey creation? Let’s break it down:

Why use AI for employee surveys?

• Research shows AI-powered surveys get much higher completion rates, between 70% and 90%, compared to the 10–30% of traditional surveys [1]. People stay engaged when a survey adapts and reacts in real time.

• Shorter, more conversational surveys keep employees responding. Survey length really matters: surveys with fewer, well-tailored questions can reach completion rates of 86.35% [3].

• AI-driven surveys uncover more honest and actionable insights, by encouraging natural conversation rather than checkbox answers.

At Specific, we’re obsessed with delivering the smoothest user experience in conversational surveys. Both employees and survey creators enjoy a feedback process that’s easy, meaningful, and feels refreshingly modern.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of the game-changing features is how Specific’s AI handles follow-up questions. After each employee's response, the AI decides in real time what clarification or next question to ask—just like an expert HR professional, but automatic and quicker. This gives us richer, fuller insights with way less effort.

Compare this to email follow-ups or manual info gathering—it’s a huge time saver and leads to stronger, more actionable results.

• Employee: "Not satisfied with communication."

• AI follow-up: "Can you give a specific example of when communication didn’t meet your expectations?"

• Employee: "The workload is stressful."

• AI follow-up: "Is the stress mostly from deadlines, team expectations, or something else?"

If you don’t ask these follow-ups, you end up with vague results that are hard to act on. But with AI, the conversation unfolds naturally—and you see the difference right away. Learn more about how AI follow-ups work.

Integrated follow-ups are what make this a conversational survey. Try generating a survey yourself and see how it feels to dig deeper—without writing complex logic by hand.

Easy editing, like magic

Need to tweak your survey? At Specific, editing is as easy as chatting. You just tell the AI what you want changed or added, and it instantly updates the survey using research-backed best practices. No form builders, no complicated menus. If you want to rephrase a question or add stricter follow-up, it’s done in seconds.

Whether you’re making a quick fix or overhauling the flow, the AI survey editor takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on collecting better feedback—not fiddling with settings.

Flexible survey delivery: landing page or in-product

How you deliver your employee engagement survey matters. With Specific, you have two powerful delivery methods:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for running company-wide engagement polls, all-hands feedback, or pulse checks. Just share a link via email, Slack, or your internal portal—no tech setup needed.

• In-product surveys: Ideal for SaaS teams or companies wanting feedback directly in the tools employees already use. Trigger surveys after a workflow, during onboarding, or when someone finishes a key action. This method is especially useful for continuous engagement checks and HR teams in fast-moving companies.

You can pick the method that fits your team best. For employee engagement, a landing page survey is usually most accessible and flexible—share it broadly, and your data arrives in one place, organized and ready to analyze.

Analyze employee feedback in seconds with AI

With Specific, you don’t have to wade through messy spreadsheets or endless comment threads. Our AI survey analysis automatically summarizes responses, finds trends, and pulls out the action items for you—instantly. Features like topic detection and the ability to chat directly with AI about your survey results mean you quickly discover what employees are really saying, and what to do next.
