Short answer

Can I use my AI to run surveys?

Yes. You can instruct your agent to build new surveys and create distribution channels using simple text commands. This moves you from planning to active data collection. You'll see how the agent handles the technical setup below.

Where your research lands

The outcomes of your commands

Your agent handles the heavy lifting of survey configuration and deployment.

CREATION

New survey builds

The agent builds the survey structure based on your requirements. You get a ready-to-use research project.

DISTRIBUTION

Channel setup

The AI sets up collectors to send your survey out through specific channels. This connects your questions to your audience.

MANAGEMENT

Live updates

You can change survey details or update collectors through chat. Your agent applies these changes to active projects.

OVERSIGHT

The agent translates your intent into specific API calls to SurveyMethods.

  1. Drafting the survey

    The agent builds the survey structure, including questions and logic, based on your description.

  2. Setting up distribution

    Once the survey exists, the agent creates the necessary collectors to start gathering responses.

  3. Auditing active projects

    The agent checks your current setup to see which surveys and collectors are currently live.

    list_collectors

  4. Modifying existing work

FAQ

How the survey automation works

  • 01

    Can the AI write the survey questions for me?

    Yes. You can describe the goal of your research, and the agent will draft the questions as part of the survey creation process.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my surveys without asking?

    No. The agent only deletes surveys when you explicitly command it to do so in chat.

  • 03

    Can I use the AI to analyze the survey results?

    No. This MCP is for the deployment and management of surveys, not for data analysis or reporting.

  • 04

    Can the AI change my survey branding?

    No. The available tools are limited to creating, updating, listing, and deleting surveys and collectors.

  • 05

    How do I see if a survey is live?

    You can ask your agent to list your collectors to see which distribution channels are currently active.
