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 builds a complete questionnaire for you. When editing: With the AI assistant, you optimize your questionnaire at the push of a button – add, rephrase, or delete questions, and adjust answer options. When translating: Entire questionnaires can be automatically translated into other languages. Very handy for international surveys. When analyzing: The AI summarizes open-ended responses, categorizes 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 features across all plans so everyone gets something out of it – even with the free Standard plan. Free in the Standard plan: All AI features for creating and editing your questionnaire. Plus plan: AI features for analysis – meaning automatic summaries of open-ended responses 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 plan includes all the AI features you need to create and edit: 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: With a single click, add, rephrase, delete questions or adjust entire sections – without typing yourself. AI personalization: Give the AI context about your company, your project, or your target audience so its suggestions fit you better. You can also upload entire documents (e.g., "Create a survey for me that I’ve already roughly outlined in Excel"). Meaning: You can set up your entire survey with full AI support without paying a cent. 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 completely 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 that, the AI creates a complete questionnaire in just a few seconds, with suitable question types, a logical order, and both a welcome and a closing page. You can then freely customize the draft in the drag & drop editor: adjust it, add to it, or delete individual questions. If you don’t like the result at all, just generate a new one. 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-time survey, event feedback, or an academic study? Rule of thumb: The more context, the better the result. “Survey for the summer party” works. “Survey for our club’s summer party to ask about date preferences, food wishes, 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 right 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 of its suggestions.

The AI takes the tedious parts of the analysis off your hands. Two features are especially useful: Summarize and categorize 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 click of a button. Of course, the original responses remain fully accessible. AI chat for in-depth analysis: You ask the AI questions directly about your results – “Which improvement suggestions 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 with the Plus plan.

With a single click, the AI translates your entire questionnaire into another language – including questions, answer options, and the welcome and closing pages. You get 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.
