Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.

This is an example of an AI survey about coercive control experiences for ex-cult members—see and try the example right here.

Creating effective ex-cult member coercive control experiences surveys is a challenge. It's often overwhelming to design meaningful questions, keep the conversation natural, and capture the full story behind each response.

We built Specific to make this process painless. Every tool and feature you see here is a part of Specific’s platform, so you can trust that this example leverages the latest advances in conversational, AI-powered research.

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

If you’ve ever tried building a traditional survey for ex-cult members on coercive control, you know the process is demanding. Generic forms often feel cold. Respondents abandon halfway, and it's tough to follow up when answers are unclear. That's where an AI-powered, conversational survey stands out.

AI survey examples adapt in real-time. The survey follows up naturally, clarifies ambiguous answers, and truly listens—just as a skilled human interviewer would. With AI generating each question dynamically, you get more thoughtful, complete responses, which is especially valuable with sensitive topics like coercive control.

Let’s break down the difference:

Manual Survey

AI-Generated Conversational Survey

Static, fixed questions

Questions adapt to each respondent in real time

Low engagement, higher abandonment

Feels like a supportive conversation—far fewer drop-offs

No automatic follow-ups

Smart follow-ups clarify and deepen responses instantly

Analysis is slow, manual, and error-prone

AI summarizes and analyzes responses as they arrive

Why use AI for ex-cult member surveys?

  • AI survey examples, like the one you’ll see here, increase response rates dramatically—AI-powered surveys can see completion rates between 70% and 90% compared to just 10–30% for traditional forms, thanks to adaptive question flow and higher engagement. [1]

  • This is critical when working with ex-cult members: higher participation means richer insights and a stronger foundation for understanding coercive control experiences, which research shows is tightly linked to psychological distress in this population. [4]

With Specific, we offer best-in-class user experience in every conversational survey, making the feedback process smooth and engaging for both you and your respondents. See what are the best questions for ex-cult member surveys about coercive control if you want deeper inspiration.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

What makes conversational surveys uniquely valuable is our AI's ability to ask smart, tailored follow-up questions in real time. The system adapts based on context, like an experienced interviewer—no scripting or chasing respondents via email. This uncovers the “why” beneath every answer, surfacing hidden nuances around coercive control experiences.

Contrast what happens without robust follow-up:

  • Ex-cult member: "Sometimes I felt isolated."

  • AI follow-up: "Can you share more about the specific situations that led to feeling isolated, and how the group or its leader contributed to this?"

Without follow-ups, you risk missing critical detail: was the isolation emotional, physical, or social? With Specific’s AI follow-ups, you get richer, actionable context, and less time digging through vague data later. Try generating a survey to see how these interactive follow-ups come to life in your own use case—or explore the automatic AI follow-up question feature for the technical deep dive.

Followup questions transform surveys into real conversations—with every respondent feeling heard. This is the heart of a true conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Once you’ve got your AI survey example running, editing couldn’t be easier. Just chat your instructions—“add a question about group exit,” “make the tone warmer,” or “remove this section”—and the AI will instantly reshape your survey, using best practice for the ex-cult member audience and the coercive control topic. No need to wrestle with clunky editors or rework logic trees. See how simple changes are with our AI survey editor—it’s like having a research assistant on-demand.

Delivering your survey: links, sharing, and in-product

How you share feedback opportunities affects participation. For sensitive studies—like ex-cult member coercive control experiences—both privacy and accessibility matter. We support:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for anonymous sharing. Send a link by email, post to a forum, or share with organizations supporting former cult members. Respondents join from anywhere, no logins.

  • In-product surveys: If you run a membership-support portal or private online space for ex-cult members, launch the survey as a discreet chat widget. Timed or event-triggered, it meets users where they are and fits naturally into their workflow.

With both options, you meet your audience where they feel safest and most comfortable—critical for collecting honest, in-depth feedback on topics as personal as coercive control.
