That wraps up the survey — thank you! Your answers help us understand and improve how AI tools represent our brand to people like you.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
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
- Directly asks which AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) respondents have used for category research and how often your brand comes up in their recommendations, rather than treating 'brand awareness' as a generic construct.
- Includes a favorability rating and a matrix specifically about what AI tools have said about your brand versus alternatives, plus a ranking of trusted decision sources — giving a full picture of AI-influenced consideration.
- An AI-moderated follow-up interview reconstructs the respondent's actual recent AI search — the real prompt, the answer given, and the resulting decision — instead of relying on recalled multiple-choice answers alone.
- Captures the literal phrase typed into the AI tool as a short-text response, and closes with a question on whether an AI recommendation directly influenced a purchase, linking AI visibility to real buying behavior.
QuestionPro
Brand mindset IQ survey questions + sample questionnaire templateThis is a general brand perception/mindset questionnaire covering awareness, consideration, and equity — presented as a guide with sample questions rather than a ready-to-field, AI-specific instrument. It's relevant as a brand-tracking competitor but not built around AI or chatbot recommendation behavior.
What it does well
- Established brand-equity framework with structured sample questions from an experienced research team
- Covers classic funnel metrics like awareness and consideration that are useful for broad brand health tracking
Where it falls short
- No questions targeting ChatGPT, Gemini, or other AI assistants, or how the brand is discussed by them
- Static question list with no adaptive follow-up — can't probe a respondent's actual AI conversation or prompt
- No transparent methodology showing what was asked or how responses were scored
SurveyMonkey
NPS And Brand Loyalty Survey TemplateA ready-to-use, fielding-ready template focused on Net Promoter Score and brand loyalty metrics. It's a legitimate brand-perception competitor but oriented toward classic loyalty/advocacy scoring, not toward how AI tools surface or describe a brand.
What it does well
- Quick to deploy with SurveyMonkey's familiar NPS scoring convention
- Good for tracking loyalty and advocacy trends over time
Where it falls short
- No questions about AI tool usage, chatbot recommendations, or favorability of AI-generated brand mentions
- Fixed-question format with no adaptive interview to reconstruct a respondent's actual AI search session
- No visibility into prompt wording or answer content — can't tell you what an AI actually said about the brand
