Questions and answers

Which AI survey generator can write a questionnaire from a prompt?

Several survey builders now draft a full questionnaire from a plain-language description of your research goal, which you then edit. QuestionPro, Jotform, Typeform and SurveyMonkey all do this, and all four have a free plan and an official MCP server for connecting to Claude. Typeform can also translate the survey; SurveyMonkey lets you buy respondents from its SurveyMonkey Audience panel.

How do you code open-ended survey responses with AI?

Upload the verbatims to a coding tool: AI assigns each answer to categories (codes) and shows what share of respondents mentioned each theme; always check AI output. Caplena codes survey answers and reviews from Trustpilot, Google or Qualtrics and adds sentiment. Displayr codes open-ends inside its crosstab and reporting workflow and has a free plan. EvooSurvey's Codini module is sold in credit packs priced by the number of responses. SurveySparrow tags answers by theme and has a free plan.

Can AI analyze survey data and write the report for me?

Yes: you upload the survey export and get tables, charts and written findings, but always check AI output. Andre takes Excel, CSV and SPSS files, cleans the data and writes a report with recommendations. Displayr builds crosstabs and dashboards and exports to PowerPoint, with a free plan. Qualtrics analyzes responses at enterprise scale, has a free plan and an official MCP server. For quick calculations from a spreadsheet, Julius AI answers questions in plain English and has a free plan.

Where can I buy survey respondents from an online panel?

Use a panel provider: a service with its own pool of paid participants who take your survey. Prolific is a vetted panel widely used in academic research, with an official MCP server. Pollfish charges only for completed responses and has a free plan. Centiment combines a survey builder with a panel in many countries. Attest runs consumer surveys in dozens of countries and drafts the questionnaire from your brief with AI.

How many survey responses do I need for a statistically valid sample?

For a large population, about 385 completed responses give a ±5% margin of error at 95% confidence; use our sample size calculator (/kalkulyator-vyborki) for your exact population and margin. Margin of error is how far a sample percentage may differ from the true one. To reach that number, Pollfish charges per completed response, Glow gives access to large panels, and Centiment offers a panel in many countries.
