What’s included
AI follow-ups

AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes five distinct opinion-scale ratings (clarity of options explained, advisor knowledge of degree requirements, listening/responsiveness, overall satisfaction, and likelihood to recommend) for granular, benchmarkable service-quality data rather than a single satisfaction score.
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that can probe deeper into a student's advising experience in their own words, going beyond a static open-text box.
- Captures session logistics and context (mode of interaction, wait time between booking and session, sessions taken this term, outcomes achieved) alongside demographic and equity-relevant fields like first-generation status and field of study, enabling segmentation advising offices actually need.
- Pairs an open-text reflection question with automated, transparent-prompt AI reporting so advising offices get a synthesized summary instead of raw unstructured comments to read manually.
Jotform
Academic Advising Form TemplateThis is a fielding-ready, customizable form template built for capturing academic advising information via Jotform's drag-and-drop builder. It's the most directly comparable of the reviewed pages since it targets the same academic advising context, though it appears structured more as a general intake/feedback form than a dedicated satisfaction-and-outcomes research instrument. No AI-driven follow-up or automated response scoring is indicated.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for the academic advising use case, unlike generic service-satisfaction templates
- No-code drag-and-drop customization typical of Jotform's builder, easy to adapt field labels and layout
- Backed by Jotform's broad template library and integrations ecosystem
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice AI interview option — questions are static and identical for every respondent
- No automated per-response quality scoring of open-ended answers
- No indication of transparent, publishable AI prompt methodology since the product is a form builder, not an AI-interview platform
