Tired of writing surveys from scratch? Discover how AI can do the heavy lifting for you.

5 Surprising Ways to Use LLM Tools to Build User Surveys

AI isn’t just for writing emails or debugging code-it can be your secret weapon for creating better surveys, faster. At YourOpinion.is, we believe building surveys should be quick, intuitive, and even a little fun. In this article, we’ll explore five easy (and slightly unexpected) ways you can use Large Language Model (LLM) tools-like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini-to supercharge your survey-making process.

1. Questions from External LLM

Sometimes the hardest part of creating a survey is coming up with the questions. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone.

Just open your favorite AI assistant and try a prompt like:

Write 5 short, neutral survey questions to measure customer satisfaction for a food delivery app.

Once you’re happy with the questions, just copy and paste them into YourOpinion.is. It’s like having a brainstorming partner who never runs out of ideas.

Pro tip: Ask your LLM to match a specific tone (e.g. professional, friendly, playful) depending on your audience.

2. Generate a Survey with a Prompt

If you’re short on time, you can skip the copy-paste step altogether. YourOpinion.is supports creating entire surveys directly from a prompt.

Just enter something like:

Create a short survey to help an indie game developer understand why players stop playing after level 3.

And voilà-we’ll generate a ready-to-edit survey structure based on your prompt. You can tweak it as needed, but you’ll already be miles ahead.

3. Export. Edit with LLM. Re-import.

Prefer to work offline or in a text editor? No problem.

YourOpinion.is lets you export your survey as a JSON file that contains the full structure and content. This format is easy for LLMs to understand and edit without breaking anything.

This makes it perfect for:

  • Bulk editing multiple questions
  • Translating your entire survey into another language
  • Applying consistent tone and phrasing across all questions

Once you’re done, just re-import the updated JSON and you’re good to go. It’s flexibility without friction.

4. Match My Website Style

Surveys shouldn’t look like they were duct-taped onto your site. That’s why YourOpinion.is offers multiple ways to make your surveys look native to your brand.

First, choose from a variety of built-in themes that include font styles, button shapes, color palettes, and more. You can customize any of these themes to fine-tune the look and feel.

But here’s the real magic: just drop in your website URL, and we’ll automatically generate a theme that mirrors your site’s design. Fonts, colors, and styling will be pulled directly from your site to give your survey a seamless, branded appearance-no design skills required.

It’s the easiest way to create a survey that looks like a natural part of your product or marketing site, increasing both trust and completion rates.

5. Generate Your Color Palette with an LLM

YourOpinion.is uses shadcn/ui, a well-known design component library built on top of Tailwind CSS. It supports thousands of professionally designed themes-and thanks to its popularity, many LLMs already understand how to work with its theming system.

That means you can ask your LLM to generate full design themes that are compatible with our platform. Just try:

Generate a shadcn/ui theme for a fintech startup targeting Gen Z.

You’ll get structured theme code you can import directly to customize your survey’s appearance-colors, typography, spacing, and more. This opens the door to:

  • Instantly matching your survey design to your brand
  • Exploring creative new themes without hiring a designer
  • Creating accessible, consistent visual styles

Whether you want subtle polish or bold personality, LLMs can help you theme like a pro.
