At empirio.ai, AI isn’t a marketing sticker, it’s a core part of the tool. You use it in four places: When creating: Describe in one sentence what you want to find out – the AI will build a complete questionnaire for you. When editing: With the AI assistant you can optimise your questionnaire at the touch of a button – add, rephrase or delete questions, and adjust answer options. When translating: Entire questionnaires can be automatically translated into other languages. Handy for international surveys. When analysing: The AI summarises open-text answers, categorises them and answers your questions about the results – via chat, in natural language.

That depends on which AI feature you want to use. We’ve deliberately spread the AI across all plans so that everyone gets something out of it – even in the free Standard plan. Free in the Standard plan: All AI features for creating and editing your questionnaire. Plus plan: AI features for analysis – i.e. automatic summarisation of open-text answers and the AI chat for in-depth analyses. Pro plan: Automatic translation of entire questionnaires into other languages. You can find a detailed overview of all AI features and prices on our pricing page.

More than you might think. Our free standard package includes all the AI features you need for creating and editing: Create questionnaires via prompt: Describe in a few sentences what you want to find out – the AI will build a complete questionnaire for you. AI assistant in the editor: At the touch of a button you can add, rephrase or delete questions, or adjust entire sections – without typing yourself. AI personalisation: Give the AI context about your company, your project or your target group so that its suggestions fit you better. You can also upload entire documents (e.g. "Create a survey for me that I’ve already roughly drafted in Excel"). In other words: you can set up your entire survey with full AI support without paying a penny. You only need a paid plan for analysis (Plus) and for automatic translations (Pro).

No, not at all. At empirio.ai, AI is an option – not an obligation. You can just as easily build your surveys entirely on your own (blank survey) or start with a ready-made template and edit it as usual in our modern drag & drop editor. You can also do the analysis in the classic way using charts, filters and exports, without using the AI chat. The AI features are there to take work off your hands if you want them to. If you prefer to do things yourself – no problem. You decide how much AI support you use.

You briefly describe what it should be about – for example: “Employee survey on the topic of working from home, focusing on satisfaction and suggestions for improvement.” From this, the AI creates a complete questionnaire within a few seconds, with suitable question types, a logical order, and both a welcome and a closing page. You can then freely adapt the draft in the drag & drop editor, add to it, or delete individual questions. If you really don’t like the result, simply generate it again. It doesn’t cost anything.

Three things help: * Goal: What do you want to know in the end? * Target group: Who will be surveyed – employees, customers, students, club members? * Context: Is it a one-off survey, event feedback, or an academic study? Rule of thumb: The more context, the better the result. “Survey about the summer party” works. “Survey for our club’s summer party to ask about dates, food preferences and willingness to help” works better.

The AI assistant is your co-pilot when editing. Instead of making every change manually, you simply tell the AI what it should do. Examples: "Add 5 questions about work–life balance." "Make the answer options shorter." "Rewrite the question in simpler language." "Replace the single-choice question with a scale." "Change the form of address from informal to formal." The AI applies the changes straight away – you don’t have to type anything yourself. If you don’t like a change, you can undo it with a single click.

Yes. You can give the AI background information about your company, your industry or your project – for example your tone of voice, your target audience or specific terms that are important in your context. The AI will then take this information into account in all its suggestions.

The AI takes the tedious parts of the analysis off your hands. Two features are particularly useful: Summarise and categorise free-text responses: instead of reading 200 open-ended answers one by one, you get an instant overview of the most common themes and sentiments at the touch of a button. You can, of course, still view the original texts. AI chat for detailed analyses: you ask the AI questions directly about your results – “Which suggestions for improvement were mentioned most often?”, “How do the responses differ between departments?”, “Are there any noticeable patterns among dissatisfied respondents?”. The AI replies in natural language, based on your data. Both features are available starting from the Plus package.

With a single click, the AI translates your entire questionnaire into another language – including questions, answer options, and the welcome and closing pages. You receive a complete language version that you can then review and fine-tune. This saves a lot of time, especially for long or multilingual surveys. The translation feature is part of the Pro package.

No. Your surveys, entries and responses are your content. We do not use your data to train any AI models – neither our own nor those of third parties.
