Survey example: Student survey about work-study experience

This is an example of an AI survey about Student Work-Study Experience—see and try the example.

Traditional student surveys about work-study experiences often struggle to capture honest, detailed feedback. Getting actionable insights can feel impossible when responses are incomplete and conversation is missing.

At Specific, we've learned what actually works: engaging conversational surveys powered by AI. Every single tool you see here is part of our platform, so if you're curious about collecting better student feedback, you're in the right spot.

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

Getting feedback from students about their work-study experience can be tricky. Paper forms and static online tools often result in low completion rates or half-hearted answers. That’s where a conversational survey comes in—it feels like a chat, not a chore, and students open up more easily.

AI changes the game for survey creation. With an AI survey builder, you just describe what you want to ask about and the system transforms it into expert-level questions, logical structure, and smooth flows automatically. No need to manually draft each question or worry about phrasing—AI does the heavy lifting. This process isn’t just faster; it’s also smarter: questions adjust to each student’s replies for richer feedback, reducing survey abandonment and empowering students to tell their story.

To compare the traditional survey process with the power of AI, have a look at this:

Why use AI for student surveys?

• More responses, less dropout: AI-powered surveys consistently outperform old-school tools, achieving up to a 90% completion rate thanks to the engaging chat-style experience. [1]

• Richer insights: Students share more detailed thoughts—over four times as much content compared to traditional online forms. [2]

• Speed: What used to take days or weeks now happens instantly. [1]

Specific delivers the best-in-class user experience for conversational AI surveys, so feedback feels natural for students and effortless for survey creators.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Context is everything. The unique power of Specific’s AI surveys comes from their real-time, automatic follow-up questions. As a student starts sharing feedback, our AI listens to what they say and asks smart, relevant follow-ups—just like a skilled interviewer. This ensures every answer tells the whole story, not just a headline. If you’ve ever scrambled for missing context after a survey—or needed to send a dozen follow-up emails—you know how critical this is.

Let’s demonstrate with a quick example:

• Student: “My work-study job was fine, but kind of stressful.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share what specifically made it stressful for you? Was it the workload, your schedule, or something else?”

Without follow-ups, vague responses get lost in translation; with conversational survey logic, you draw out rich, useful insight. You can see exactly how this works with Specific’s automatic AI follow-up questions feature.

The best way to understand the impact? Generate your own survey and watch as the AI probes deeper in real time, just like an expert would. The conversation flows naturally—that’s why it’s called a conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Don’t waste time fussing with clunky forms or rigid templates. Specific’s AI survey editor simplifies everything: just chat with the AI about what you want to change, and your survey updates instantly with expert-level logic, wording, and structure. No tedious “add question”-“move section” routines—edits take seconds, whether you want to tweak wording, add more context, or change the order of questions. Try it with our AI survey editor or create a custom survey from scratch.

Effortless survey delivery for every work-study scenario

Once your survey is ready, you decide how students receive it. Specific makes delivery flexible:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Just copy your unique link and share by email, SMS, student portal, or wherever students find their resources. Perfect if you’re running orientation feedback, campus-wide studies, or follow-ups with recent work-study alumni.

• In-product surveys: Embed the survey inside your school apps, course platforms, or digital onboarding tools. Ideal for capturing work-study experience feedback right after a term ends or when students finish their job assignment—timing and targeting are seamless.

For most work-study experience surveys, landing pages are quick for broad outreach, while in-product delivery is perfect for timely, contextual feedback within digital touchpoints.

Analysis shouldn’t be a bottleneck. With Specific, responses are summarized instantly using AI, which finds key themes, recurring topics, and actionable patterns—no manual coding or spreadsheet wrangling.
