AI Interview

Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's overall satisfaction and recommendation scores. Anchor on whichever issue they flagged as mattering most in the prioritization question or selected as a recent problem, and get a concrete recent example (what happened, when, how it affected them). If they gave a high satisfaction score, explore what specifically keeps them there and whether any single issue could change that. If scores are low, identify the single change that would move them most.

Why this template

  • Includes an AI follow-up interview that automatically digs into the one issue affecting a resident's quality of life most, going beyond static satisfaction scores

  • Captures context like tenure in the neighborhood, housing situation, event participation, and issues personally witnessed, giving planners a fuller behavioral picture
  • Ends with an open long-text question inviting anything else residents want local leaders to know, plus a closing message explaining how responses will be used

SurveyMonkey

Neighborhood Feedback Survey Template

This is a genuinely comparable, fielding-ready template aimed at gathering resident feedback on neighborhood conditions. It's built on SurveyMonkey's established survey infrastructure with strong distribution and analytics tooling. However, it appears to be a fixed question set rather than one that adapts to each respondent's specific concerns.

What it does well

  • Ready-to-use template on a widely trusted, established survey platform
  • Backed by SurveyMonkey's broad distribution channels and analytics dashboards
  • Likely simple to deploy quickly for city or community groups

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up questioning — respondents get the same fixed questions regardless of their answers
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks for richer qualitative input
  • No indication of automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology
