Survey template: Live Demo Attendee survey about expectations

Anyone running a live demo knows it’s crucial to understand attendee expectations right from the start. That’s why we built this AI-powered survey template—so you can dive straight into meaningful feedback that actually helps, not just collects data. If you want deep, conversational insights fast, use and try this template from Specific, where every survey is a smooth, smart chat.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for live demo attendees

Collecting meaningful feedback from live demo attendees about their expectations is a classic challenge. Traditional approach? You craft a survey manually, hope people engage, and then wade through generic or one-word answers. The reality is, most post-event surveys only get response rates around 10% to 20%—hardly enough to spot trends or fix what matters. [1]

With an AI survey template—like what we’ve built at Specific—the experience changes. Our conversational surveys engage people just like a chat, using smart follow-ups to actually explore their thoughts, not just skim the surface. This leads to completion rates as high as 70% to 90%, because the interaction adapts to each attendee, makes questions relevant, and feels more personal. [2]

Here’s how manual surveys compare to AI-powered surveys:

Why use AI for live demo attendee surveys?

• Better engagement: Surveys feel like a helpful conversation, not a quiz.

• Time saved: Let AI generate, follow up, and summarize automatically.

• Full-context answers: AI adapts in real time, getting richer detail.

• Built-in expertise: Templates are crafted by research professionals.

Specific delivers excellent user experience—every survey is designed to capture authentic insights, keep things effortless for attendees, and make sure you get answers you can actually use.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

It’s frustrating when you read through demo feedback and find vague answers that leave you with more questions than you started. This is where Specific’s AI-powered surveys really shine—our system reads every reply like an expert and asks smart, context-aware follow-up questions, in real time. No more manual email chasing or guesswork.

Imagine these typical scenarios:

• Live demo attendee: “I’m hoping to learn more about your product.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share what specific features or use cases you’re most interested in?”

• Live demo attendee: “Want to see how it fits with our workflow.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you describe your current workflow or any tools you use?”

Without these automatic, real-time follow-ups, feedback is often ambiguous. Manual surveys miss out on this depth, leading to missed opportunities for real understanding. That’s why with Specific, you can try out automatic AI follow-up questions and see the difference. These smart probes pull out the story behind each expectation, automatically, during the chat.

Because of these AI-powered follow-ups, your survey isn’t just a form—it’s truly a conversation. The respondent feels heard. And that’s why it’s called a conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your demo attendee expectations survey in Specific is effortless. Simply type what you want changed, and our AI survey editor intuitively updates the survey using expert best practices. Want to add a question? Change the tone? Refocus a section? Tell the AI in plain language and let it handle the structure—no boring, manual fiddling or second-guessing what question types fit. You make edits in seconds, not hours, and your survey always remains research-backed and on target.

This makes it incredibly easy to use our template, or create a custom survey from scratch, whenever your research needs shift or your audience changes.

Survey delivery: shareable or in-product, your call

Getting this expectations survey in front of live demo attendees is flexible, depending on your workflow:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Great for circulating to registered demo attendees by email, calendar invite, or event platform. Perfect when you want feedback gathered before or after a demo, or when your audience isn’t inside your product yet.

• In-product surveys: For SaaS teams, you can display the survey right inside your product or demo platform—ideal for capturing insights in context as people interact with your tool, or at the end of the demo flow.

Both methods are fast to set up. For this audience (live demo attendees) and topic (expectations), landing page delivery works particularly well—especially for pre-event discovery or post-event feedback. Of course, if your demo happens inside your app, in-product surveys might be your secret weapon for catching feedback at the moment of highest engagement.

AI survey analysis: deep insights, no spreadsheets

Once responses roll in, analyzing survey results is where Specific’s AI really flexes its muscles. AI-powered analysis means you get instant summaries of each answer, automatic topic detection, and a list of actionable insights—without ever opening a spreadsheet. No more manual coding or keyword-counting.

With automated survey insights, you can even chat directly with the AI about survey responses or dig deeper into sentiment and key themes. Our system processes feedback up to 60% faster than traditional methods, and delivers sentiment accuracy up to 95% [3].
