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

Collecting feedback from students on payments can be tough. Traditional survey forms are often ignored, making it hard to get answers that actually help you improve the payment experience. This is where an AI survey template comes in—by switching from static forms to interactive, chat-based conversations, you see a huge increase in engagement and response quality.

Unlike traditional surveys, conversational surveys (like those built on Specific) use AI to mimic a real conversation. The result? Students feel heard, and you collect feedback that goes deeper than checkboxes or short answers. In fact, AI-powered surveys achieve completion rates of 70-90%, compared to 10-30% for traditional surveys—a massive difference that comes down to engagement and adaptive questioning [1]. Think about the last static form you sent: how many students dropped off before finishing?

Here’s how the creation process compares:

Survey creation approach

Traditional/manual

AI-generated (like Specific)

Setup time

Slow; you design each question individually and build logic manually

Fast; describe your goals in chat and get an expert-quality survey in seconds

Question logic

Basic branching, rarely adaptive

Dynamic follow-ups, adaptive logic based on previous replies

Completion rates

Low to average (students often abandon halfway)

High (AI adapts to respondents, keeps them engaged)

Experience

Feels like paperwork

Feels like a natural chat

Why use AI for student surveys?

  • AI adapts to every student’s input in real time, clarifying payment questions and following up without extra work from your end.

  • You get richer, more honest feedback—students are far more likely to share details in a chat-like experience, raising the overall quality of insights.

  • Specific delivers an intuitive, best-in-class user experience; our conversational AI surveys are designed for both the creator and the student respondent. If you want expert guidance on building your survey from scratch, try our AI survey generator or use a template like the one on this page.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

With Specific, your survey does more than just ask static questions. Our AI acts like an expert interviewer, generating real-time follow-up questions based on each student’s previous reply. This lets you dig into the real stories behind payment issues or satisfaction levels, capturing a complete context without any manual effort.

This makes the feedback richer and avoids those “half-answered” responses that leave you guessing. For example:

  • Student: “It was fine, but sometimes paying late is confusing.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you tell me more about what made late payments confusing?”

Without a follow-up, you’d never know if the issue was about unclear deadlines, payment methods, or something else. With Specific’s conversational survey template, every unclear or incomplete answer is a chance to learn more—automatically.

This also means creators no longer have to chase students with follow-up emails or manual outreach. You save time and ensure every feedback session is thorough. If you want to see how smoothly this plays out in reality, try generating a survey now—you’ll notice how the conversation naturally uncovers deeper insights.

These follow-ups transform your survey into a real conversation—making it a true conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your survey couldn’t be simpler. If you want to tweak a question, add custom logic, or change the flow, you talk with Specific’s AI survey editor as if you were chatting with a research assistant. Just say what you want, and the AI instantly applies the change, using its expert-level knowledge of survey design. You avoid the messy interface and confusing settings of most survey tools. With this approach, you can personalize your AI survey template in seconds, adapting your payment questions or adding context with zero hassle. Learn more about how it works in our AI survey editor guide.

Easy survey delivery for students

Once your payments survey is ready, getting it to students is straightforward, and you have options tailored to your needs:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Send a single link to students, making it easy to reach entire classes or groups via email, learning platforms, or social channels. This method is perfect when you want broad, frictionless access for your payment research.

  • In-product surveys: Embedded directly into education software, portals, or apps, surveys pop up at the right time—like after a payment is made or when a student logs in. Great for gathering instant, contextual feedback where students are already active.

If context is critical (e.g., you want to know how students feel about a payment process right after they complete it), in-product surveys are ideal. For outreach to large groups or remote students, landing pages are a go-to.
