At Specific, we spend our days perfecting tools for surveys like this—everything here is built on Specific’s expertise in conversational feedback with AI.
What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for ex-cult members
Building ex-cult member support services satisfaction surveys can be daunting. Traditional methods are often rigid, leading to incomplete responses—and you risk missing the nuance and sensitivity this audience needs. That’s where AI-powered, conversational surveys change everything.
Instead of static forms, a conversational survey feels like chatting with a real person. This approach, especially for ex-cult members, makes sharing tough experiences easier and more natural, helping respondents feel heard rather than interrogated.
Why does this matter? 75% of former cult members report depression after leaving their groups, and almost 70% struggle with loneliness [1]. These are raw, sensitive issues. A conversational flow—guided by AI—handles these nuances with empathy and adapts dynamically to each response. Specific’s conversational surveys ask with care, pick up emotional cues, and probe gently for deeper insight.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply
Automated follow-ups are at the heart of a real conversational survey. Specific’s AI asks smart clarifiers in real time, based on what the respondent just shared—like a skilled interviewer who knows when to dig deeper, ask “why?”, or clarify vague statements. That’s crucial when ex-cult members are describing complex, personal experiences.
Picture how responses can go astray without good follow-up:
Ex-cult member: “The support group was... okay, I guess.”
AI follow-up: “Could you share more about what you found helpful—or unhelpful—about the group’s support?”
Ex-cult member: “I didn’t really get what I needed from counseling.”
AI follow-up: “What expectations did you have going into counseling, and in what ways did it fall short?”
Without these, you’re left guessing what people really mean. With tailored follow-ups, you extract detailed, actionable feedback—no email ping-pong required. Want to see how follow-ups elevate your survey? Try generating a survey with automatic AI follow-ups and see it in action.
Follow-ups transform feedback collection from a dull checklist into a genuine conversation: that’s what makes a survey truly conversational.
Easy editing, like magic
Editing your ex-cult member AI survey in Specific is shockingly easy. Tell the AI editor what you want changed—like “make the tone more gentle” or “add a question about group therapy”—and the platform updates the survey instantly. No wrestling with forms or logic trees: editing via chat with AI means even complex tweaks are done in seconds, like having a research expert on demand.
Delivery options: shareable pages and in-product surveys
You can deliver your ex-cult member support services satisfaction survey in two ways:
Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect if you want to invite ex-cult members by email, post a link in online communities, or share in private support networks. Respondents answer in their own time and space, supporting comfort and privacy.
In-product surveys: Ideal if you run an online recovery community, counseling app, or digital peer-support platform. You can pop up the survey right inside your service after a user session or group meeting for contextually rich feedback.
Landing page surveys usually work best for sensitive communities like ex-cult members, letting people respond on their terms. But if you’re building digital support tools, in-product surveys offer context-aware timing that captures feedback after critical interactions.
Instant AI analysis for survey responses
Analyzing sensitive, narrative-heavy feedback is where Specific’s AI shines. As responses come in, the platform instantly summarizes them, highlights key themes, and surfaces actionable insights—no spreadsheet work, coding, or manual tagging. With automated survey insights, you can chat directly with the AI about trends or individual stories. Curious about the workflow?
