Survey example: Parent survey about teacher communication

This is an AI survey example—a parent survey about teacher communication you can see and try. See and try the example to experience how conversational surveys help you gather richer, more honest feedback.

Traditional surveys for parent-teacher communication often fall flat—they're time-consuming, response rates are low, and you don't always get meaningful insights.

At Specific, we specialize in modern, conversational AI-powered surveys. All the tools you see here are from Specific, trusted by organizations that want better feedback and actionable insights.

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

Getting parents to participate—and share honest perspectives—can feel like pulling teeth. Typical survey forms ask generic questions and rarely adapt to what someone is actually saying. No surprise, less than 65% of elementary school parents respond to surveys, and that dips to only 35% in high school. [1] For many schools and teachers, this means lots of incomplete data and missed opportunities to make a difference.

Enter the AI conversational survey: a smart, adaptive chat that asks your questions, listens to what parents say, and responds conversationally. Instead of passively collecting answers, it actively learns and dives deeper—just like a real conversation.

With Specific's AI survey generator, you don't build questions one at a time. You tell the AI what you care about (like "I want to understand how parents feel about teacher updates")—and in seconds, you get a complete survey that’s tailored to your goal.

Why is this better than old-fashioned forms? Let’s break it down:

Why use AI for parent surveys?

• Boost engagement: AI surveys achieve higher completion rates and less dropoff by making the survey feel less like homework and more like a chat. [3]

• Faster insights: Responses are analyzed up to 60% faster, meaning you act on feedback days—not weeks—so families feel heard. [4]

• Adaptive and personal: AI adapts questions based on each parent’s unique answers, uncovering the “why” behind the numbers.

We built Specific to deliver the best possible user experience. Our AI survey generator makes conversational parent feedback totally seamless—simple for whoever sets it up, engaging for every parent who responds.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Specific’s AI-powered surveys are not your standard online forms—they listen and adapt. The AI instantly analyzes a parent’s reply, then asks smart follow-up questions in real time, just like an expert interviewer. This uncovers context and deeper insight, while saving you from having to email for clarification or chase down incomplete answers.

Let's look at what happens if you don’t have conversational follow-ups:

• Parent: “Communication could be better.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you share a recent example of when communication didn’t meet your expectations?”

Without a follow-up, you’re left guessing what “could be better” actually means. With Specific’s AI, the conversation goes deeper—automatically, on the spot. Learn more about automatic AI follow-ups here.

These automated follow-ups are genuinely transformative—try generating a survey yourself and see how much richer, and more actionable, the results are.

Thanks to this feature, surveys finally feel like a real conversation—this is what makes it a true conversational survey, not another static form.

Easy editing, like magic

Ever tried tweaking a survey and felt stuck? With Specific, editing is painless. Simply tell the AI (via chat) what you want to change—like “make Q2 about weekly updates instead of email notifications”—and it instantly rewrites your survey, using best practices for parents and teacher communication. See how our AI survey editor works.

You get all the benefits of expert-designed surveys, without laborious manual work—and if inspiration strikes, you can adjust your questions in seconds.

Survey delivery options: landing page or in-product

Once you’ve built your parent survey about teacher communication, how do you reach families? Specific gives you two simple delivery options:

• Sharable landing page surveys—Distribute the survey via email, school portal, or messenger app. Perfect for busy parents juggling multiple tasks: they just tap a link and start chatting in seconds.

• In-product surveys—Embed the survey directly into a parent communication app or school website. Capture feedback while parents are already engaged and thinking about their child's experience.

For most parent communication needs, landing pages are ideal—they make it easy to reach parents wherever they already are, without requiring logins or additional apps. But if your school uses a dedicated platform, in-product surveys are equally seamless.

AI survey analysis: instant insights and zero manual work

When responses roll in, Specific’s AI-powered survey analysis tools kick in immediately. Automatic topic detection, response summaries, and even the ability to chat with the AI about your results—all without touching a spreadsheet. This means you can focus on actual improvements rather than piecing together data.
