What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for online event attendees

We’ve all struggled with the challenge of making Online Event Attendee Expectations surveys engaging and effective. It’s easy for a survey to end up feeling like a chore, with participants disengaging partway through—no surprise, since response rates for these kinds of surveys often hover between 10% and 20% depending on event type and size. [1]

AI survey generation transforms this process. Instead of tedious forms, you can launch a conversational survey that feels like messaging a human, not filling out a form. As an attendee, you’re greeted naturally, and as a survey creator, you get more complete and relevant feedback because the AI asks smart follow-ups in real time.

Why use AI for Online Event Attendee surveys?

• AI survey examples adapt dynamically, driving engagement

• They tackle main pain points for event organizers: getting relevant, actionable feedback and increasing attendee participation

• Conversational flow feels natural—much like a chat

According to event organizers, 67.7% struggle with attendee engagement in virtual events. Conversational AI surveys not only increase engagement but also make responding less of a burden for attendees. [2]

Specific offers best-in-class conversational survey experiences, for both creators and respondents—see more about smart question design here. If you’re interested in building your own, check out our AI survey generator for custom surveys, or use the ready-to-launch version for event expectations.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Specific’s AI doesn’t just ask static questions—it chats in real time, using your respondents’ replies as context for smart, targeted follow-up questions. This matters because single answers rarely tell the full story. With AI-powered conversational surveys, attendees feel genuinely heard, and you get deeper, more useful insights.

With automatic follow-up, you skip the back-and-forth that eats up your inbox after sending a typical survey. The system instantly clarifies and explores, like this:

• Attendee: “I want more networking opportunities.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share which kinds of networking—such as group sessions or 1-on-1 chats—would matter most to you?”

Contrast that with a basic form, where “I want more networking opportunities” would just sit on your spreadsheet, unclear and unactionable. With Specific’s AI follow-up feature, every response becomes a conversation, surfacing the context and details that really guide event planning.

Try generating a survey to experience just how natural—and effective—these conversations can be.

When follow-ups are part of your process, the survey is truly conversational. The effect is dramatic: you don’t just collect data; you actually understand your attendees.

Easy editing, like magic

Tweaking surveys with Specific is as simple as having a chat. Want to adjust the tone, swap a question, or add a new follow-up? Just say what you want, and our AI survey editor does the rest, backed by expert knowledge and always up-to-date best practices.

No need to manually rewrite questions or mess around with complicated menus. Everything updates in seconds—so your event feedback stays laser-focused and relevant.

Flexible delivery: landing page or in-product

Getting your survey in front of event attendees is crucial. With Specific, you’ve got two flexible options:

• Sharable landing page surveys. Generate a unique link to a fully branded survey page. Perfect for pre- and post-event attendee outreach via email, event platforms, or community channels. Especially effective for expectation surveys, as you can share it before or after your online event to maximize participation. Bulk distribution can boost response rates to as much as 20–30% when sent promptly after your event, according to recent research. [3]

• In-product surveys. Embed the survey right inside your virtual event platform or event app. Great for collecting feedback while the experience is fresh—no emails required, and you catch attendees while they’re most engaged. Engagement-focused surveys right in the product can counteract the 67.7% of organizers who report attendance engagement is their top challenge. [2]

You can mix and match these methods to fit your event program, audience preferences, and timing strategy.

AI survey analysis: instant actionable insights

Once responses roll in, Specific’s AI survey analysis tools go to work. The platform automatically summarizes every answer, detects the most common topics, and highlights actionable insights—no need for clunky spreadsheets or manual categorizing.
