Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.

This is an example of an AI survey for Ex-Cult Members about Belief Changes—see and try the example now. If you’re looking to explore the nuanced belief shifts after cult exit, this template gives you a conversational, engaging approach.

Many struggle to create effective surveys for Ex-Cult Members because belief change is personal, complex, and emotionally challenging. Standard forms often fall short in capturing the stories that matter.

At Specific, we tackle these challenges head-on with conversational AI survey tools built for deep, human insights. All tools shown here are part of the Specific platform.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for ex-cult member feedback

Surveying Ex-Cult Members about their belief changes is never simple. Too often, static forms miss important context, leading to incomplete or misunderstood answers. Everyone’s experience leaving a cult is intensely personal—traditional surveys rarely provide the space or sensitivity needed.

That’s where conversational surveys come in. With AI-driven, chat-style questions, you create a safe, natural environment for sharing. Our survey builder acts more like a thoughtful interviewer than a generic form; it listens, learns, and asks the right next question, instantly.

Why is this so important? Research shows that 75% of former cult members struggle with depression, 68% battle loneliness, and 66% experience disorientation after leaving their groups [1]. These numbers highlight how vital it is to approach feedback with compassion, nuance, and care.

Here’s a quick comparison to highlight just how different the experience is:

Manual Survey

AI-Generated Survey

Rigid, one-size-fits-all questions

Adaptive, context-aware conversations

No real-time follow-ups or clarifications

Instant, personalized follow-up questions

High risk of partial or shallow answers

Deeper insights, thoughtful probing

Manual analysis required

Automatic AI insight summaries

Why use AI for Ex-Cult Member surveys?

  • AI listens and adapts—so people feel heard, not interrogated.

  • It can clarify sensitive answers without bias, judgment, or leading.

  • The empathy and intelligence of the AI survey example helps unlock stories that matter but are hard to share in rigid forms.

Specific’s conversational surveys make the experience smooth for everyone—whether you’re creating or responding. It feels like a trusted peer-to-peer chat, and you get richer, more honest answers every time.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Have you ever sent out a survey and received vague, incomplete replies? Specific solves this with real-time, AI-driven follow-up questions that dig deeper—like an expert interviewer would. Instead of chasing clarification by email, the AI uncovers full context, right from the start.

Here’s what could happen without smart follow-ups:

  • Ex-Cult Member: "Leaving changed a lot for me."

  • AI follow-up: "Can you share more about which aspects of your life or beliefs changed most after you left your group?"

Without follow-ups, crucial detail is lost. But with automatic, AI-powered probing, responses become far more insightful. This saves everyone time and leads to better data—no endless back-and-forth.

If you haven’t tried surveys with AI follow-up questions yet, experience it firsthand with this generator—or use the AI survey builder to create your own from scratch. See how a truly conversational survey feels.

Follow-up questions are what transform a regular survey into a genuine conversation. That’s what makes this a real conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Delivering your AI survey: flexible and ready for your audience

Once your belief changes survey is ready, getting it into the right hands is easy. Here’s how you can share it, tailored for ex-cult member audiences:

  • Sharable landing page surveys — Send a unique link via email, post in online support groups, or share privately with counselors. This is perfect for reaching ex-cult members outside your organization, letting people participate at their own pace, privately and securely.

  • In-product surveys — If you’re running a platform or app that supports ex-cult members, embed the survey directly within your environment. Gather feedback when it’s most relevant, like after a resource is accessed or a counseling session completes.

You can pick what fits your community best, or offer both options for truly inclusive feedback.
