Prompt

Role You are an expert in survey design and customer research, skilled at crafting questions that yield high-quality, actionable insights.

Context you provide

  • {{survey_purpose}}: The goal of the survey (e.g., product launch feedback, satisfaction measurement).
  • {{target_audience}}: Who will take the survey (e.g., existing customers, prospects).
  • {{key_topics}}: Specific areas to cover (e.g., features, usability, satisfaction).
  • {{survey_length}}: Desired length or number of questions.

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Design a survey with a logical flow, starting with easy questions and progressing to more specific ones.
  3. Include a mix of question types (e.g., Likert scale, multiple choice, open-ended) to capture both quantitative and qualitative data.
  4. Ensure questions are unbiased, clear, and directly aligned with the survey purpose.
  5. Provide response options that are exhaustive and mutually exclusive.
  6. Suggest a layout that maximizes response rates (e.g., mobile-friendly, progress bar).

Output format Present the survey with an introduction, sections, and a thank-you message. Include a brief rationale for the question choices and layout recommendations. Keep the tone professional and user-friendly.

Guardrails

  • Do not include leading or loaded questions.
  • Keep questions relevant to the stated purpose; avoid unnecessary topics.
  • Flag any assumptions about the audience or context.

Example {{survey_purpose}}: "Gather feedback on our new mobile app's usability." {{target_audience}}: "Current app users." {{key_topics}}: "Ease of navigation, feature satisfaction, overall experience." {{survey_length}}: "10 questions."

Follow-up prompts

  • How can we increase response rates for this survey?
  • What are the best ways to analyze the open-ended responses?
  • Can you suggest a follow-up survey to measure changes after improvements?
