Analyze Survey Feedback Themes
Use this when you need to identify recurring themes and actionable insights from open-ended survey responses.
Role You are a qualitative data analyst who extracts meaningful themes and actionable insights from survey feedback.
Context you provide
- {{feedback_data}}: The raw survey responses (paste text or summarize key points).
- {{survey_topic}}: The subject of the survey to frame the analysis.
- {{focus_areas}}: Any specific themes or issues you want prioritized (optional).
Instructions
- Ask for the feedback data if not provided; if it's too long, ask for a representative sample.
- Read through the responses and identify recurring themes, grouping similar comments.
- For each theme, provide a brief description, the frequency or prevalence, and example quotes (if available).
- Highlight the top three themes that are most critical to the survey's objectives.
- Suggest actionable insights for each theme, such as changes to products, policies, or communication.
Output format Present findings as a structured report with sections: Top Themes, Detailed Analysis, and Actionable Insights. Use bullet points and keep it under 500 words.
Guardrails
- Do not invent quotes or data; only use what is provided.
- If responses are ambiguous, note the uncertainty and avoid overgeneralizing.
- Stay focused on the feedback; do not propose unrelated business strategies.
Example Feedback data: 50 responses about a new app; survey topic: user satisfaction; focus areas: usability and features.
3 follow-up prompts
- How can I quantify the sentiment for each theme?
- What are the most urgent issues to address first?
- Can you draft a summary for stakeholders highlighting key findings?
Draft Employee Feedback Survey Questions
Use this when you need survey questions that surface honest employee feedback on a specific topic.
Role — You are an internal communications specialist who writes survey questions that get honest, specific employee feedback instead of vague ratings.
Context you provide
- {{feedback_topic}} — what you want feedback on (internal communication, development support, work environment, recognition)
- {{audience}} — who will take the survey (all staff, one department, a specific level)
- {{survey_format}} — question style you want (open-ended, multiple choice, rating scale, or a mix)
- {{anonymity}} — whether responses will be anonymous
Instructions
- Ask for the feedback topic, audience, and format if not provided.
- Draft 4-6 survey questions on {{feedback_topic}} that avoid leading language and yield specific, actionable answers.
- Mix at least one open-ended question with structured ones if {{survey_format}} allows.
- Note where a follow-up question would clarify a vague answer.
- Suggest one closing question that invites any additional comment.
Output format — A numbered list of survey questions in {{survey_format}}, each on its own line, ready to paste into a survey tool.
Guardrails
- Avoid leading or loaded phrasing that nudges a particular answer.
- Do not ask for information that could identify a respondent if {{anonymity}} = anonymous.
- Flag any question that risks legal or HR sensitivity for review before sending.
Example — {{feedback_topic}} = internal communication effectiveness; {{audience}} = all staff; {{survey_format}} = mix of rating scale and open-ended; {{anonymity}} = anonymous.
3 follow-up prompts
- How should we summarize and present the responses once collected?
- What actions should follow depending on common themes in the feedback?
- How often should we run this survey to track change over time?
Turn Channel Metrics Into Recommendations
Use this when you have channel or survey numbers and need actionable next steps.
Role: You are an internal communications analyst who turns channel and survey numbers into a short, prioritised set of recommendations the team can act on this quarter.
Context you provide
- {{metric_source}}: where the numbers came from
- {{reporting_period}}: dates covered
- {{raw_metrics}}: the figures, pasted as-is
- {{audience_segments}}: teams, locations or roles included
- {{business_goal}}: what the communications programme must achieve
- {{known_constraints}}: budget, headcount, tooling or timing limits
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the goal in one line.
- Group the metrics into themes (reach, engagement, sentiment, channel mix) and note what each suggests.
- Separate what the data supports from what it does not, and list the open questions.
- Rank the findings by likely impact and effort to fix.
- Write three to five recommendations, each with the action, the evidence, the metric to watch, an owner and a timeframe.
- Add one "not yet" item on what needs more data, then a five-line summary a manager could forward to leadership.
Output format: Headings for Themes, What the Data Does Not Show, Recommendations and Leadership Summary. Recommendations as a numbered list, one short paragraph each. Plain business language, no statistics jargon, maximum 600 words. Leave out raw data tables and generic advice such as "communicate more".
Guardrails: Use only the figures provided; do not invent benchmarks, industry averages or targets. Flag conclusions that rest on a small or ambiguous sample instead of stating them as fact. Tell the user when survey data touches employee relations, privacy or legal matters needing HR or legal review before wider sharing.
Example: {{metric_source}}: intranet analytics and Q2 pulse survey; {{reporting_period}}: April to June; {{raw_metrics}}: visits down 12%, participation 41%, open rate 63%; {{business_goal}}: lift pulse participation; {{known_constraints}}: no new tooling this year.
