Survey template: Product Workshop Attendee survey about agenda preferences

Managing agenda preferences from product workshop attendees can become overwhelming fast—especially when traditional surveys fail to deliver clear, actionable feedback. Use and try this AI survey template from Specific to quickly collect richer insights and make sense of attendee needs in minutes.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for product workshop attendees

Gathering agenda preferences from product workshop attendees has always been a logistical headache. Manual survey creation takes time, and response rates often disappoint. We’ve all seen surveys emailed out, only to watch half-hearted or incomplete responses trickle in—if they come back at all.

That’s why conversational surveys are transforming the feedback process. Instead of static forms, attendees interact via chat-like exchanges that feel familiar and engaging. An AI survey template (like the one you’ll try here) adapts in real time, asks smart follow-ups, and captures much more nuance. Specific’s AI survey builder takes this even further with ready-to-go templates for any survey need—including product workshop agenda preferences.

Here’s why this matters: average response rates for surveys sent by email or embedded in online forms range from 2% to 30%, depending on the delivery method and length of the survey [1]. But when surveys shift to conversational chat powered by AI, completion rates jump by as much as 40% compared to traditional forms [2]. That’s a huge lift, especially if you’re counting on actionable insights to inform your workshop design.

Why use AI for product workshop attendee surveys?

• Boosts completion rates—by keeping it short, focused, and dynamic

• Makes it easy to analyze responses instantly, so you act fast on preferences

• Adapts the experience to each respondent for richer feedback

Specific builds on these advantages. Its conversational surveys are designed for both creators and respondents to have the smoothest possible experience—a major advance over form-based tools. If you need tips on the best questions to ask, check out our guide on workshop attendee agenda questions.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Here’s where Specific really stands out: once a product workshop attendee answers a question about their agenda preferences, the AI instantly understands the context and—like an expert facilitator—asks clarifying questions to get the full picture. It’s a conversational survey that doesn’t just collect opinions, it discovers the “why” behind them.

For example, if you rely on static questions or classic survey tools, you might get:

• Attendee: "I’m interested in sessions on user onboarding."

• (No followup) You’re left wondering: Is this their top priority? What challenges do they face? Is this preference based on past experience?

With Specific’s automatic follow-up, you’d see:

• Attendee: "I’m interested in sessions on user onboarding."

• AI follow-up: "Great! Can you share what makes user onboarding sessions especially valuable to you at this stage?"

This small shift turns generic answers into actionable, rich feedback. And it all happens automatically, sparing your team from endless back-and-forth emails to get clarity. Studies show that short, dynamic surveys with fewer than five questions can keep response rates near 40%—especially when you can eliminate unnecessary followups later by collecting better information up front [3].

Don’t take our word for it: try generating a conversational survey and see just how natural it feels to collect in-depth insights, all in real time. If you want to learn more about how automatic AI followup questions work, check out the feature here: automatic AI follow-up questions.

Followups make each survey feel like a real conversation. That’s why Specific’s AI survey template stands apart from rigid forms—it’s a chat, not an interrogation.

Easy editing, like magic

We know how quickly agendas and workshop contexts can shift. Rather than wrestling with complex survey builders or rigid templates, Specific lets you edit your AI survey template with simple chat instructions. Just tell the AI editor what changes you want—“Add a question about lunch breaks” or “Make the tone friendlier”—and it updates the survey on the spot.

No more tedious manual edits or worrying about tone or logic branching. Specific’s AI survey editor does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, making sure your template is not just updated, but optimized for attendee engagement in seconds.

Flexible delivery: links or in-product

Getting your agenda preferences survey to the right attendees is just as important as crafting great questions. Specific gives you complete flexibility:

• Sharable landing page surveys—perfect for inviting all workshop registrants, sending links via email, or posting in event platforms. Just share the URL and anyone can join the conversation when it suits them. It’s fast and requires zero integration.

• In-product surveys—if your product workshop attendees are already active users of your SaaS product or app, show the survey right inside your platform. This delivers feedback exactly when it’s top-of-mind, such as post-signup or after an agenda webinar. Target specific user segments or behaviors with advanced controls.

For agenda preferences, both methods shine—use the sharable link for open-ended participation, and in-product delivery if you want to prompt feedback during specific touchpoints in your workshop experience.

Specific lets you analyze survey responses with AI—summarizing insights, finding patterns among open-ended answers, and detecting key themes automatically. You can even chat directly with the AI to ask, “What are the top priorities for this group?” or “Where did attendees disagree most?” Instant, actionable takeaways.
