Build with AI, powered by the Azure OpenAI service and OpenAI, makes it easy and quick to create a survey.

To create a survey, type a prompt that includes your survey goals but excludes sensitive information. With a click of a button, we'll generate a survey for you. You can choose to use it and edit it, re-generate a new survey with an edited prompt, or start over with another survey creation method.

How to Write a Prompt to Generate a Survey

State your goal (e.g. we want to improve the employee experience).
Describe what you want to know (e.g. we need to survey our employees about pay, benefits, hours, workload, and culture).
Provide general context describing who is sending the survey (e.g. we're a large sporting goods manufacturer).
Specify what demographic or company information you want to know about your respondents (e.g. business industry and size, or age and gender).
Be specific and as detailed as possible about the desired context, outcome, length, or style.
Be precise—avoid ambiguity or vagueness.
Iterate on your prompt until you get a survey draft you can work with.

If your prompt contains unsafe content, you may receive an error or be unable to create an AI generated survey for up to an hour. You can create a survey in another way or wait to retry Build with AI with an edited prompt.
