Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.

This is an example of an AI survey about classroom engagement for students—see and try the example to experience the difference conversational surveys make in feedback quality.

We all know how tough it is to create student classroom engagement surveys that actually reveal what’s happening in the classroom, not just surface-level answers.

At Specific, we specialize in making advanced survey tools accessible, letting you dig deeper and collect meaningful student feedback through AI-driven conversational surveys.

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

So many educators and researchers struggle to design student classroom engagement surveys that feel relevant and actually encourage open, honest input. Many traditional tools end up delivering generic forms that result in one-word answers or, worst of all, silence. That’s where an AI-powered conversational survey flips the script.

Conversational surveys use AI to create a natural, chat-like experience that puts students at ease and increases engagement. When students feel like they're chatting, not filling out another dry school form, their responses become richer and more authentic. The AI adapts in real time, making follow-ups personal and collecting insights you’d never get from a static Google Form or manual questionnaire. In fact, when students are more engaged, active learning approaches can boost retention of course material by up to 55%—an engagement that starts with the right questions and follow-ups in your survey.

Why use AI for student surveys?

  • AI quickly generates expert-level classroom engagement surveys—no writing skill needed.

  • It adapts follow-ups to each student’s answers, asking for clarifications or examples just like a human would.

  • Surveys created this way feel like a helpful conversation, not an interrogation.

  • You get better data with less effort—essential when over half of students say they're not engaged in class most of the time. [1]

Specific’s conversational survey builder gives you the smoothest experience, turning survey creation and completion into a process students (and teachers) won’t dread. Want to see what I mean? Here’s a guide to easily create your own survey about this topic.

Or, if you want to create a custom survey from scratch, you can use this AI survey generator.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Specific’s conversational surveys take things further with real-time, expert-level follow-up questions. The AI listens to each student’s answer, uses context, and asks just the right follow-up to clarify or dig deeper. This uncovers the rich detail you’d otherwise chase down in endless email threads—or never see at all. The survey actually feels like a conversation, not an interrogation.

Here’s what can happen when you skip smart follow-ups:

  • Student: “Sometimes I don’t pay attention in math.”

  • AI follow-up: “What is it about math class that makes it hard for you to stay focused?”

Without a follow-up, that first answer doesn’t tell you where the problem really is. Thanks to AI-powered probing, you quickly understand if it’s the material, teaching style, pace, or something else. Try generating a survey and you’ll notice these thoughtful follow-up questions—you won’t want to go back.

These conversational follow-ups are game-changing. They make the interaction feel like a real conversation, which is exactly what a conversational survey should be. Learn more about how this works on our follow-up questions feature page.

Easy editing, like magic

Don’t settle for surveys that are hard to tweak. With Specific, you edit surveys in plain language—just chat with the AI and say what you want to change. The AI instantly updates your classroom engagement survey, applying expert knowledge and best practices under the hood. You can fix typos, add clarifying questions, or overhaul your survey structure in seconds—the AI does all the tedious work. No more fiddling with long, confusing lists or rigid templates. This means you quickly improve your survey based on early student feedback or testing, without rebuilding from scratch.

Flexible delivery: in-product & sharable landing page

You can deliver your classroom engagement survey in ways that actually reach students where they are:

  • Sharable landing page surveys—Perfect for emailing to students, posting on a learning management system, or even sharing in class. Students just click the link and the survey starts as a friendly chat. Great for batch classroom feedback or homework discussions.

  • In-product surveys—Ideal if your students engage via an app or school portal. The survey pops up inside their workflow, right when you need feedback about a class or new feature. No lost links or forgotten emails—it’s contextual and hard to miss.

For classroom engagement, both methods work. Use the landing page for one-off polls or larger groups, and use the in-product experience for real-time feedback while students are in your app or digital classroom environment.
