Use a survey to measure
Track known questions and compare the same metrics over time.
When surveys are not enough
Surveys measure a moment. Conversations explain why.
Surveys work when you know what to measure. AI-led conversations help when you need to understand why someone answered the way they did.
Comparison
Different tools for different questions
Survey
Best for known questions and comparable answers.
AI conversation
Best when an answer needs to be explored.
Choose the right format
Surveys are good at measuring — but not always at explaining
Use a survey when the answer choices are known and you want to compare results over time.
Use a conversation when you need to understand expectations, changes, or why an answer looks the way it does. They often work best together.
A simple example
The first answer sometimes needs one more question
One follow-up question reveals what sits behind the answer.
From label to explanation
- What was behind the first answer?
- What expectation existed at the start?
- What could have changed the experience?
When should you use which?
Combine comparability with understanding
Choose the format based on the question you need answered.
Use a conversation to understand
Follow unexpected answers and uncover the reasons behind them.
Use both when needed
Let a score or answer start a short, deeper conversation.
FAQ
Common questions
When is a regular survey enough?
When you want to measure something you already understand and need comparable answers from many people.
When is an AI-led conversation a better fit?
When answers need context, when you do not know all possible answers, or when a follow-up could change your understanding.
Can the answers still be compared?
Yes. Konvolo groups conversations into recurring themes while keeping the original answers behind each pattern.
