Survey example: SaaS Customer survey about product-market fit
Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.
This is an example of an AI survey about product-market fit for SaaS customers. You can see and try the example—just start the survey to experience exactly how conversational AI transforms feedback.
Making effective SaaS customer product-market fit surveys is tough—busy customers often give short replies, and traditional tools rarely get the real insights you need.
At Specific, we help teams create, deliver, and analyze conversational surveys powered by AI. All the survey tools here come straight from Specific, the leaders in AI-driven feedback.
What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for SaaS customers
Traditional product-market fit surveys for SaaS customers usually mean static forms or generic polls. But real insights come from full conversations where you dig deeper—and that’s where most surveys struggle. Low participation and surface-level responses are common, with SaaS surveys averaging only 8%–20% response rates[1]. We need a smarter way.
Conversational surveys powered by AI work differently. Instead of filling out a dull web form or ticking boxes, your customers chat naturally—like sending messages to a person. The AI listens, clarifies, and follows up. This makes the experience richer for both creators and users—and often boosts completion rates, especially when the survey is short and targeted (surveys under five questions can achieve up to 40% response rates[4]).
Manual survey | AI-generated survey |
---|---|
Static form, no real-time follow-ups | Dynamic, follows up with clarifying questions live |
Risk of unclear or incomplete answers | AI prompts deeper, more meaningful responses |
Time-consuming to build and maintain | Survey generated, edited, and personalized in minutes |
Needs manual reminders and nudges | Smart in-app delivery and personalized experience |

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply
One of the magic features in Specific’s conversational surveys is AI-powered automatic follow-up questions. Instead of just collecting answers, the AI listens and immediately asks clarifying questions—just like an expert interviewer. This turns generic feedback into rich, context-filled insights without your team sending endless emails or scheduling calls.
Here’s what happens when you skip follow-ups:
SaaS customer: “It’s OK but sometimes confusing.”
AI follow-up: “Could you share what parts feel most confusing or an example of when you got stuck?”
Without that follow-up, you’re left with a vague response that’s hard to act on. AI follow-up questions give you specifics. This technology is new—generate a survey and see just how much more complete the data is. Read more about how this works in practice on our automatic AI follow-up questions page.
Because of these smart follow-ups, the survey becomes a real conversation. That’s why it’s called a conversational survey.
Easy editing, like magic
Making your survey just right should be easy. With Specific’s AI survey editor, you chat with our AI about what you want to change—add a question, tweak the wording, or shift tone. Instantly, the AI updates your survey as an expert would. No endless menu clicks or manual form editing needed—just say what you want, and it’s done in seconds.
Flexible delivery: in-app or landing page
Getting your product-market fit survey in front of SaaS customers is simple—pick the method that fits your workflow:
Sharable landing page surveys—Send a link in an email, newsletter, or community post. Perfect for when your customers aren’t logged in or you want feedback from prospects as well as active users.
In-product surveys—Embed the conversational survey directly in your product or SaaS dashboard. This tends to drive higher engagement, with in-app surveys averaging response rates of 25%[2]. Great for catching users at just the right moment, such as right after they complete a feature or during onboarding.
For product-market fit questions targeting current users, in-product surveys usually yield the best results—but you can use both approaches and compare engagement for different cohorts.
