    Conversational Agent

    What Is a Conversational Survey?

    A conversational survey is a survey conducted through a chat interface instead of a long, static form.

    Users answer questions naturally, one step at a time, as if they are chatting with a human.


    Instead of showing:


    • A long Google Form

    • Multiple fields on one page

    • High-friction forms that users abandon


    A conversational survey:


    • Asks one question at a time

    • Adapts based on user responses

    • Feels natural and interactive

    • Works inside chat widgets, websites, or messaging platforms
