Survey template: Product Workshop Attendee survey about expectations

Knowing what your product workshop attendees expect is the first step to making every session a success—so why settle for low engagement or vague feedback? Use and try this AI-powered survey template from Specific to collect targeted, actionable insights without the hassle of traditional forms.

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

Gathering expectations from product workshop attendees might sound simple, but too often, survey responses fall short—generic answers, half-filled forms, or low completion rates are all too common. That’s where a conversational survey, powered by AI, totally changes the game.

Unlike static, manual surveys, a conversational survey feels more like a friendly one-on-one interview. Attendees engage in a back-and-forth exchange, and the AI adapts questions on the fly. This dynamic style leads to richer, more complete responses—no more guessing what’s behind a “fine” or “okay.”

It’s not just a few percentage points better, either. There’s strong evidence that conversational surveys can boost completion rates by as much as 40% compared to traditional surveys, tackling the classic challenges of low response and data quality head-on [2]. For a product workshop, that means more honest and detailed insights from everyone who attends.

Why use AI for product workshop attendee surveys?

• Personalized Experience: Every attendee gets questions tailored to their unique input, making their feedback count.

• Engagement, not fatigue: Conversational format reduces drop-off and survey fatigue, keeping response rates solid—even as high as 30% or more is considered outstanding [1].

• Deeper insights, instantly: The smart follow-ups get to why and how, not just the surface “what.”

With Specific’s best-in-class conversational survey experience, you can effortlessly collect feedback that feels authentic—for both you and your respondents.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The magic of Specific lies in how our AI intuitively asks follow-up questions in real time. Instead of forcing you to chase down attendees for clarification (or worse, delete incomplete surveys because the answer is too vague), the AI takes on the job of an expert interviewer. It responds to each workshop attendee’s reply—with context—unlocking more actionable insights and deeper understanding with every exchange.

Here’s the difference in practice:

• Product workshop attendee: “Looking forward to learning more about product design.”

• AI follow-up: “That's great to hear! Could you share if there are any specific product design aspects or challenges you’re most interested in learning about?”

• Product workshop attendee: “I want hands-on experience.”

• AI follow-up: “What type of hands-on activities would be most useful for you during the workshop?”

If you skip these follow-ups, you end up with fuzzy data: “I want more tips,” but about what? With automatic follow-ups, you get context that would otherwise require tedious email back-and-forth.

These automated follow-ups are what turn an ordinary survey into a true conversational survey, where each exchange feels like a natural conversation with an expert—because it is.

Easy editing, like magic

Sometimes you know exactly what you want to ask—or you realize mid-way that something could be better. With Specific’s AI survey builder, editing your template is as simple as having a chat. Just tell the AI what to change, add, or refine, and it updates your survey instantly, using best practices (and plenty of expert knowledge) along the way.

No more rebuilding forms from scratch or wrestling with messy drag-and-drop editors. Whether you’re adding a question, changing wording for clarity, or adjusting tone, everything happens in seconds. Take a closer look at how the AI survey editor works here—it’s all about speed, control, and giving you time back.

Survey delivery: sharable link or seamless in-product

Getting feedback from product workshop attendees about expectations often starts before the session—sometimes while people are registering or after an initial info session. Specific makes survey delivery flexible:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Send a unique survey link via email, calendar invites, or even event platforms before your workshop begins. Attendees can answer from any device, anywhere—and you get responses in real time.

• In-product surveys: If your workshop includes an app, learning portal, or community software, embed the survey where attendees are most active—right in the tool they use to prep or participate. Perfect for instant response and context-rich feedback on expectations before or during sessions.

For most product workshop settings, sharing a survey link ahead of time (especially via a landing page) encourages more thoughtful answers. But if you want feedback on the fly or as part of a digital resource, in-product options are powerful and unobtrusive.

Analyze survey responses instantly with AI

Once the answers roll in, the real work usually begins—but not with Specific. Thanks to AI survey analysis, every response is summarized, recurring topics are detected automatically, and you can chat directly with the AI to dig in: “What’s the biggest expectation theme from my attendees?” No spreadsheets, sorting, or manual labor—just automated survey insights you can act on immediately.
