Time: 2-5 minutes

Level: Beginner

Audience: Researchers, Product teams, Marketers, Students

## Steps

### 1. Pick a method and describe your goal

From the **Start a study** grid on Home, click a method tile — **Survey**, **Voice study**, **Usability test**, **Concept test**, or **AI focus group**. Each opens a text field where you describe what you want to learn, and an optional respondent language picker.

### 2. Describe your research goal

Write a clear description of what you want to learn. For example: "I want to understand how employees feel about remote work policies and what changes they'd like to see." The more specific you are, the better the output.

### 3. Review and customize the draft

The AI generates a complete survey with question types, ordering, and suggested AI follow-ups. Review each question, edit text, add or remove questions, and adjust the flow to match your needs.

### 4. Preview and publish

Use the preview to walk through the survey as a respondent. Make final adjustments, then publish and share.

## Details

AI survey generation lets you go from idea to draft in seconds. Describe your research objectives in plain language and the AI creates a structured survey with appropriate question types.

The generated draft includes a mix of question types based on your goals: opinion scales for measuring sentiment, multiple choice for categorization, and AI interview questions for qualitative depth.

For more structured research planning, the [AI study planner](https://www.questionpunk.com/support/study-plan) generates a full research plan with audience targeting, methodology, and cost estimates before building the survey.

You can regenerate the entire survey, add questions manually, or use the AI chat editor to refine individual questions after generation.
