Create your first AI survey
Pollarix's Create with AI page turns a short brief into a complete, ready-to-send survey — questions stream in one by one as the model writes them. This tutorial walks you through describing your goal, reviewing the draft, and saving your first AI-generated survey.
Prerequisites
- A Pollarix account (sign up free)
- Basic or higher subscription plan
- No business profile required — it's optional, and only adds a few pre-filled chips if you have one
What you'll build
A complete survey with about 8 questions (you can pick 5, 8, or 12), multiple question types, and a logical structure — generated from a short brief.
Steps
Open Create with AI
Start a new survey and choose the AI option.
Describe your goal
Tell the AI what you want to learn, and from whom.
Set the details
Pick the audience, language, length, and tone.
Watch your draft stream in
Questions appear one by one as the model writes them.
Review and save
Delete or reorder questions, then save into the editor.
1. Open Create with AI
From Surveys, click New survey and select Create with AI. This opens the Create with AI page — a full page, not a popup — at its own URL, so you can always come back to a draft in progress from My Surveys.
2. Describe your goal
Type what you want to learn, and from whom, into the prompt field. The brief needs at least 10 characters — the more specific you are, the better the draft.
Use this example for your first try:
Measure customer satisfaction with our support team's response time, friendliness, and issue resolution
"Measure customer satisfaction with our support team" produces better results than "customer survey." Say what you want to learn and who you're asking.
Not sure what to write? Click one of the Try one suggestion chips below the prompt for a ready-made brief.
3. Set the details
Below the prompt, finish the sentence: "Ask [audience] in [language], about [8 questions], in a [formal] voice." Each bracketed word is a dropdown — set the audience, language, question count (5, 8, or 12), and tone.
If you have a business profile, chips above the prompt show what the draft will use — industry, audience, website — with an Edit link. No profile yet? You'll see a one-click prompt to add one, but you can skip it; the draft runs fine from your brief alone.
Click Draft survey when you're ready.
4. Watch your draft stream in
On screens 1440 px and wider, the page has three columns. On the left, questions appear one at a time as the model finishes writing each one — the question being written shows a blinking cursor. In the middle, a live phone preview shows the draft in your brand colors and fonts (taken from your website, or from your default theme), laid out right-to-left for Hebrew. On the right, the AI panel shows a checklist of what it's doing and an elapsed timer.
On narrower screens, click Phone preview to open the same phone in a side sheet.
You can delete or reorder any question while the draft is still streaming. Click Stop at any time — the questions written so far stay on the page; nothing is lost.
Rare, but if it happens the questions written so far are not lost. A card explains what happened and offers Keep these questions or Continue drafting.
5. Review and save
Once the draft finishes, look over the questions: each card shows its type and, for logic-based questions, when it's shown. Delete or reorder anything that doesn't fit.
Click Save & preview to save the survey and see it the way respondents will. Click Edit survey there to open the full editor and refine your draft further.
What else can I change in the editor?
The Create with AI page lets you delete and reorder questions while the draft streams. Everything else — editing question wording and answer choices, adding conditional logic, changing the theme, or adding pages — happens afterward, in the full survey editor.
You're all set
You've created your first AI-generated survey. It opened straight into the editor, ready to distribute or refine further. From brief to editable survey takes just a few minutes — most of it spent watching the questions get written.
