Conversational AI for customer feedback replaces static survey forms with adaptive AI-moderated conversations. Instead of presenting fixed questions and collecting brief answers, the AI interviewer asks questions, listens, and follows up based on what the participant says -- mimicking the depth of a human interview at the scale of a survey.
How Conversational AI Feedback Works
- The participant receives a link -- just like a survey, but it opens a conversation
- The AI asks the first question -- drawn from your configured interview plan
- The participant responds -- by typing or speaking
- The AI follows up -- asking clarifying questions based on the response
- Structured data is collected -- scales, choices, and rankings still produce quantitative data
- AI analyzes the conversation -- extracting themes, sentiment, and key quotes automatically
Conversational AI vs. Traditional Surveys
| Dimension | Traditional Survey | Conversational AI |
|---|---|---|
| Interaction | One-directional | Bi-directional |
| Adaptation | None | Real-time follow-ups |
| Response depth | 5-15 words | 40-120 words |
| Completion rate | 20-39% | 55-61% |
| Analysis | Manual | Automatic (themes, sentiment) |
| Time to insight | Days-weeks | Hours |
| Participant experience | Form filling | Conversation |

Getting Started
The fastest way to start with conversational AI feedback is to convert an existing survey:
- Visit koji.so/kojify
- Paste your current survey link (Google Forms, Typeform, etc.)
- Koji extracts questions and adds AI follow-up probing
- Review, customize probing depth, and publish
- Share the interview link with participants
Best Practices
- Start with 5-8 questions -- AI follow-ups will naturally extend the conversation
- Mix structured and open-ended -- get quantitative data AND qualitative depth
- Use probing depth of 2 for critical questions -- one level for screening questions
- Apply a methodology -- Mom Test for discovery, JTBD for switching behavior
- Review your first 3-5 responses -- adjust probing or questions based on early data
