We’re going to introduce the early stages of a feature. While it might seem too raw, we’re optimistic about how it might affect studies in the future. > [!note] > This feature isn’t available on your researcher dashboard yet. We’re just experimenting. And any part of this ongoing feature might change by the time the first official version is released. ## What Is It? At its core, this feature leverages [our Televisit chat](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/televisit/1284) to facilitate more interactive and authentic survey experiences. Participants will have conversations with AI as a way to respond to survey questions. ## Why Does It Matter? Personalization, mainly. And subsequently, increased compliance rate. That’s just a hypothesis though. But based on common sense, if surveys are more engaging and dynamic, we can expect happier participants. After all, **who wouldn’t prefer a survey that feels a bit more human?** The sky’s the limit. But we can think of these important benefits for now: - **Friendly/Natural Conversations:** AI can simulate the tone and writing styles to match what the participant might like. On the other hand, instead of bland lists of questions, imagine the survey framed as a story or a journey that evolves with the participant’s responses, keeping the participant curious and engaged. Also, AI can detect objective data based on subjective responses. See the next section for examples. - **Real-Time Feedback:** As you’re completing a survey, the AI can highlight patterns like, “Looks like you’re a night owl!”, adding a personal touch and making the process fun, it can get an image or audio from the participant and analyze it in real-time, it can send a personalized “thank you” message at the end of the survey, or even validate the responses and communicate the issues with the participant. - **Complex Flow Controls:** Related to the previous item, it’s possible for AI to direct participants into different paths based on the real-time analysis of their responses, which might be very hard, time-consuming, and late if done manually by researchers. ## How Does It Work? At the moment, survey chatbots are enabled and work like this: 1. We create a normal survey. 2. We [release the survey to the participant(s)](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/triggering-logics/1238#p-2865-manually-triggering-an-activity-38). The only change here would be marking the `Ask by AI` option. When checked, two other fields will show up: 3. When the survey is released, the participant will get the first survey question in a new chat room. 4. The participant can interact with AI and respond to the questions. Note that the following question is [a Calendar question](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/questions/1291#p-2918-calendar-63) and in the following example, we responded with “2 AM” without specifying a date. AI is smart enough to interpret that as “Current Date - 02:00:00”. 5. AI will try to respect the `Agent Rules` we defined. After our first response, AI uses an owl emoji and for our second response, AI will also try to support the participant emotionally. 6. In the case of choice-based questions ([Single-Answer](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/questions/1291#p-2918-single-answer-24) or [Multiple-Answer](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/questions/1291#p-2918-multiple-answer-15)), AI tries to match the participant’s response to the closest option(s). In the following example, it mapped “Awful” to “Very poor” which is an option for the Single-Answer question. 7. Finally, when the survey is complete, the responses will be available on the researcher dashboard in the expected formats. ## Future As mentioned in the beginning, this is rarely a complete feature. We’re still working on it, and we plan to support audio/video/image interactions, all the properties the survey sections or questions can have, storing the exact response the participant enters, all flow controls, etc. * * * To stay updated about AI in Avicenna, we encourage you to keep an eye on upcoming releases, our blog, and social media posts.
