# Creating Surveys with AI

### Overview

Creating a survey using AI allows you to generate complete, well-structured surveys from a simple prompt. The AI-assisted workflow guides you through survey creation and produces organized, context-aware questions with appropriate answer types, helping you move from idea to ready-to-use survey in minutes.

This capability is designed to simplify survey creation while maintaining flexibility and full editing control. Surveys generated with AI can be refined, extended, or customized further using the standard Survey Designer.

### Before You Begin

AI-powered survey creation is available when survey creation and AI creation settings are enabled for your domain. Administrators manage this from the AI settings area in the Admin Portal. The setting that enables AI creation for pages, quizzes, surveys, trackers, and wikis must be turned on, and the Surveys module must be enabled. Users must also have permission to create surveys, as defined in the Surveys module configuration.

Administrators can optionally provide company-specific instructions in the AI settings to guide tone, terminology, and style. These instructions help ensure AI-generated surveys align with organizational language and values.

### How to Create a Survey with AI

To create a survey using AI, start from the compose experience and choose the option to create a survey with AI. This opens an AI-assisted setup flow designed to guide you through survey generation.

You can begin by selecting from a set of pre-built survey templates based on common business scenarios such as employee engagement, customer satisfaction, exit interviews, training evaluations, or feedback surveys. These templates provide a strong starting point and include an editable prompt that you can customize to match your specific needs.

You may also write your own custom prompt from scratch. Prompts support detailed instructions and context, allowing you to describe the audience, purpose, tone, and type of feedback you want to collect. The AI uses this input to generate a structured survey that reflects your intent.

### Reviewing the AI-Generated Survey

Once the survey is generated, a real-time preview shows exactly how participants will experience it. Surveys are organized into logical sections and pages, with support for both single-page and multi-page layouts. Questions are grouped by topic, and each question is assigned an appropriate response type automatically.

The AI selects from a range of supported question formats, including Likert scales, multiple choice, NPS, opinion scales, rankings, star ratings, text responses, dates, team lists, and user lists. Answer options and scale values are generated and ordered correctly, reducing the need for manual setup. Required questions are clearly indicated, and an optional setting allows all questions to be marked as required if needed.

The survey can include up to fifty questions, and a featured image is generated automatically based on the survey title to provide visual context.

### Editing and Publishing the Survey

After reviewing the generated survey, you can move it directly into the full Survey Designer by selecting the option to create the survey as a draft. This opens the survey in design mode, where you have complete control to edit questions, reorder sections, add or remove pages, adjust settings, and fine-tune the content using standard drag-and-drop tools.

From the Survey Designer, you can finalize settings, configure distribution, and publish the survey when ready. The AI-generated content serves as a starting point and does not restrict further customization.

### Tips for Best Results

When writing prompts, include clear details about your audience, the goal of the survey, and the type of insights you want to gather. Adding context helps the AI generate more relevant and precise questions. Review generated questions carefully and adjust wording or answer options as needed before publishing to ensure clarity and alignment with your objectives.
