You can set up AI follow-up in your text question by following our guide.

How to inform respondents about AI follow-ups

AI follow-up feature involves sharing respondent data with an external service; it’s important to inform participants about your privacy policies and how their data will be used before they answer such questions.

When you enable AI follow-ups for the first time, we’ll show you a notification to remind you of this responsibility.

You can achieve it using one of the below methods:

1️⃣ Including a link to your privacy policy in the survey’s welcome message.

2️⃣ Provide a brief explanation in the introduction to your text question:

  • or as a part of the question:

❗️Remember to make the question optional, so respondents can skip (by clicking the Submit button) it if they choose not to proceed with AI-powered questions.

3️⃣ Incorporating a consent checkbox or disclaimer within the survey itself or within your question.

  • Provide a disclaimer explaining that the AI tool is used for personalized questions;

    • if they don’t agree, they can skip this question by clicking Submit without answering.

  • Provide disclaimer with checkbox and set it up as required to submit answer:

4️⃣ Use logic to display questions based on user consent.

  • Start with a single-choice question asking if the respondent agrees to proceed with an AI-powered next question or prefers simple ones.

    • Create 2 similar text questions with AI follow-up and without.

  • Set up branch logic to display different questions depending on their choice.

These measures help build trust and ensure compliance with data protection standards.
