Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional online surveys are rigid and fail to capture the depth and nuance of users' opinions and experiences due to standard, irrelevant questions and limited feedback options.

Innovation Solution

An artificially intelligent natural language survey system that uses generative AI and machine learning to dynamically generate questions based on participants' responses, allowing for natural language input and adaptive follow-up questions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional online surveys use standard multiple-choice questions, then the survey structure is simple and easy to administer, but the questions become irrelevant for particular participants and cause users to lose interest

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurvey administration simplicityVSAvoidquestion relevance to participants
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The survey system dynamically adapts questions based on participant responses in real-time. The AI-generated survey adjusts its question sequence and content according to what participants answer, making each survey experience unique and relevant to the individual participant's interests and background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The survey system serves itself by automatically generating relevant questions based on participant responses without requiring manual intervention. The AI model processes responses and autonomously determines the next questions to ask, making the survey self-adjusting and responsive to participant needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If traditional online surveys use multiple-choice questions with limited responses, then the survey structure is rigid and easy to process, but participants cannot provide nuanced feedback and the system fails to capture depth of opinions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurvey structure simplicityVSAvoidnuance and depth of participant feedback
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the response parameter from fixed multiple-choice options to open-ended natural language responses. This allows participants to express nuanced feedback in their own words while the AI processes these varied responses to extract meaningful insights and categorize them appropriately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical multiple-choice selection mechanism with an AI-based natural language processing mechanism. Instead of requiring participants to select from predefined options, the AI processes open-ended responses to understand and categorize participant feedback, capturing depth and nuance that traditional mechanisms miss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of time

If traditional online surveys use fixed standard questions, then the survey design is straightforward and quick to deploy, but the questions are irrelevant for many participants resulting in low response rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurvey deployment timeVSAvoidsurvey response rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating a personalized survey sequence before each participant responds. The AI model pre-determines the optimal question flow based on participant profile and previous responses, ensuring relevance from the start and maintaining engagement throughout the survey process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods for a natural language survey system are provided. The natural language survey system may harness generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning to enhance survey question generation, survey participance and completed survey analysis and research. The natural language survey system may include a dynamic interactive platform. The dynamic interactive platform may enable a researcher to create a survey using natural language. The dynamic interactive platform may enable a researcher to directly identify survey goals instead of creating a plurality of goal-oriented specific questions. The dynamic interactive platform may enable a plurality of participants to participate in the survey. The dynamic interactive platform may provide reports and insights to the researcher upon completion of the survey by the participants.
