AI Survey Generator

The "AI Survey Generator" feature allows you to quickly generate a complete survey by simply describing your requirements in text or by uploading a PDF file. AI will automatically generate suitable questions and options based on your description or document, eliminating the need to design questions from scratch and significantly reducing survey design time.

Currently, SurveyCake offers two methods for generating surveys via AI:

Create with Prompt: Enter a description of your survey context in the input field, and AI will generate a survey based on the information you provide.

Create from PDF: Upload a PDF file along with a brief explanation, and AI will extract relevant content to generate a survey for you.

The following sections will guide you through both methods:
