Automatic AI follow-up

A probing question generated on the spot.

2 minutes read

On this page

Ask for an additional reason without building a full interview.

Purpose

Supplement an open question with a follow-up prompt.

When to use it

When short answers need to explain their reason.

Before you start

  • An open question
  • Feature available in the plan and environment

Example

It was difficult → What made that step difficult?

Step by step

  1. Open the open question. Select the question in the builder and write a neutral prompt about the experience. What made the task difficult?.
  1. Enable probing. Enable AI follow-up when the control is available. Check the study language and publish the reviewed configuration. Participant language.
  1. Rehearse an answer. Preview does not call follow-up AI. Publish and open the participant link to give a short reason and inspect the extra question; this can generate a real response. The option was hard to find.
  1. Read in context. In Results, open the answer and read the main response and follow-up together. If no follow-up occurred, interpret the available main answer. Do not treat AI text as the participant’s answer.

Validate before collecting responses

The side preview lets you inspect a block; for Figma it is static. To validate draft rules and order, use Test full flow, without creating sessions or taking quota slots. Figma, recording, voice and AI follow-up require the published link. Test published opens the real /r/[token] link: it can create responses and consume quota. Separate these tests when analyzing your collection.

How to read the result

  • Main answer and follow-up linked in results

Cautions and limitations

  • AI availability and response time may vary.
  • A follow-up does not replace a clear main question.
