Form Design
4 promptsSurvey Design from Goal
1/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT designs a Google Form for [survey goal] aimed at [describe], with question types per goal, warm-up-to-important sequence, a 5-10 minute cap, and incentive notes. Fill goal and audience, then cut questions until a friend can finish in ten minutes.
Design Google Form for [survey goal]. Audience: [describe]. Output: question types (multiple choice, scale, open-ended) per goal, sequence (warm-up to important), length (5-10 min max), incentive consideration. Goal-driven design > question dump.
Pro tip: Survey design starts with decision: what action will responses inform? If unclear, survey unnecessary. Goal-driven design = actionable data.
Question Writing
2/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes [N] questions for [survey topic], each clear, neutral, one concept, and the right type, without double-barreled wording. Set N and the topic, then drop any question that leads the answer.
Write [N] questions for [survey topic]. Per question: clear (no ambiguity), neutral (no leading), specific (one concept per question), correct type (multiple choice / scale / open-ended). Avoid double-barrels.
Pro tip: Double-barreled questions ("Was the service fast and friendly?") = useless data. Single-concept questions = clean data. Most surveys have 30% bad questions.
Survey Length Calibration
3/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT calibrates survey length for [describe]: total questions, a 30-seconds-per-question time estimate, what to cut if you are over, and how length hits completion. Name the goal, then cut until the estimate fits the time people will give.
Calibrate survey length. Goal: [describe]. Output: total questions, time estimate (30 sec/question rule), what to cut if over budget, completion rate impact. Long surveys = abandoned. Short surveys = limited insight.
Pro tip: Surveys over 5 minutes = completion rate drops. 5-minute survey × 100 responders > 20-minute survey × 20. Length is the single biggest abandonment driver.
Open-Ended Question Strategy
4/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT decides which questions should be open-ended versus multiple choice, with criteria, a typical max of 3-5 open questions, end placement, and analysis cost. Keep open items at the end, then limit them to what you will actually read.
Decide which questions open-ended vs multiple choice. Output: criteria (open for unexpected insight, multiple choice for known options), max open-ended (3-5 typical), placement (end), analysis cost. Open-ended = harder to analyze.
Pro tip: Open-ended = qualitative insight. But 50 open-ended on 200 responses = 10K free-text words. Reserve for the questions where unexpected patterns matter.

Logic + Branching
4 promptsConditional Logic Setup
5/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT sets form logic for [describe - e.g., "if customer = yes, show customer questions"], including sections, Go to section based on answer, skip patterns, and test scenarios. Build the sections, then click every branch before you share the form.
Set up form logic. Conditions: [describe — e.g., "if customer = yes, show customer questions"]. Output: section design, "Go to section based on answer," skip patterns, test scenarios. Conditional = relevant questions.
Pro tip: Linear forms = irrelevant questions. Conditional forms = each respondent sees only relevant. Better completion + cleaner data. Setup once; benefits all respondents.
Multi-Step Form
6/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT designs a multi-section form for [purpose] with 3-5 sections of 3-7 questions, a progress indicator, save-progress notes, and abandonment risk per section. Build the sections in Forms, then preview on a phone before you launch.
Multi-section form for [purpose]. Output: section breakdown (3-5 sections, 3-7 questions each), progress indicator, save-progress consideration, abandonment risk per section. Multi-step = digestible.
Pro tip: Long form on one page = overwhelming. Multi-section = digestible. Progress bar = motivation. Same questions, better structure, higher completion.
Required vs Optional Calibration
7/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT marks which questions are required versus optional: required for identity, segmentation, and must-have data; optional for nice-to-haves and sensitive items like income. Make sensitive items optional, then test that you can still submit without them.
Calibrate which questions required vs optional. Output: required for: identification, segmentation, must-have data; optional for: nice-to-have, sensitive (income, demographics). Too many required = abandonment.
Pro tip: Required questions on every Q = abandonment. Required only on critical = completed. Most forms over-require. Sensitive questions optional = better data + better experience.
Form Validation Rules
8/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT sets validation for email format, number ranges, regex, and character limits, with the rule, error message, and when it fires (submit versus live). Add validation on the messy fields, then submit a bad value to see the error.
Set up validation rules. Use cases: email format, number ranges, regex matching, character limits. Output: per question type, validation, error message, when to validate (on submit vs live). Clean data > clean prompt.
Pro tip: No validation = bad data. "Phone number" + free text = "I don't want to share" + "555-1212" + "+44 20 1234 5678" = unparsable. Validation = clean data.
Response Analysis
4 promptsResponse Summary
9/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT summarizes [Paste Form responses summary or sheet] with response rate, demographic mix, top patterns, key insights, and surprises as a story rather than raw counts. Paste the summary, then share the three insights you will act on.
[Paste Form responses summary or sheet]. Summarize: response rate, demographic mix, top patterns, key insights, surprises. Don't just describe data; tell story. Most form analysis stops at counts.
Pro tip: Form data without story = numbers. Form data with story = insight. "60% answered X" + "this means Y about our user base" = decision-ready.
Open-Ended Theme Analysis
10/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT runs theme analysis on [Paste open-ended responses]: top 5-7 themes, frequency, a quote per theme, surprises, and contradictions. Paste the answers, then pull the quotes you will show stakeholders.
[Paste open-ended responses]. Theme analysis: top 5-7 themes, frequency per theme, representative quotes per theme, surprising themes, contradictions. Qualitative analysis manually = days; AI = hours.
Pro tip: Open-ended responses sit unread = wasted insight. AI theme analysis = patterns visible quickly. Quotes lifted = use in reports + decks.
Cross-Tab Analysis
11/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT cross-tabs [Describe responses] to show how Q1 relates to Q2, emerging segments, and patterns by demographic instead of totals alone. Describe the questions, then pick one relationship you will change a decision on.
[Describe responses]. Cross-tab analysis: how does Q1 answer correlate with Q2? Segments emerging? Patterns by demographic? More than just totals; drive at relationships in data.
Pro tip: Single-question stats = surface. Cross-tabs = patterns. "Customer satisfaction by segment" reveals more than "average satisfaction." The interesting insights are in cross-tabs.
NPS / Score Interpretation
12/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT interprets [NPS or rating data] with promoter, passive, and detractor split, what shifted versus last time, detractor drivers from open text, and action items. Paste the scores, then assign an owner to the top detractor driver.
[NPS or rating data]. Interpret: score breakdown (promoters, passives, detractors), what shifted vs prior, drivers of detractors (open-ended), action items. NPS without interpretation = vanity metric.
Pro tip: NPS score alone = noise. NPS + driver analysis (why detractors detract) = action. Most teams report score; mature teams act on drivers.

Workflows + Distribution
4 promptsForm Distribution Strategy
13/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT plans distribution of a Google Form for [audience] across email, social, and intranet, plus incentive, reminders, a response goal, and a deadline. Pick two channels, then send the first reminder before the deadline.
Distribute Google Form for [audience]. Output: channels (email, social, intranet), incentive (if any), reminder strategy, response goal, deadline. Distribution = response volume.
Pro tip: Generic distribution ("here's a form") = low response. Specific channels + reminders + deadline = high response. Most forms under-distribute then complain about response rate.
Form → Sheet → Dashboard Pipeline
14/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a Form to Sheet to Dashboard pipeline: auto flow into Sheets, a Looker Studio or Sheets chart, refresh, and who sees what. Connect the Sheet, then share the dashboard only with the people who need it.
Build pipeline: Form → Sheet → Dashboard. Output: form data flows to Sheet (auto), Sheet feeds Dashboard (Looker Studio / Sheets chart), refresh strategy, who sees what. Form data alive in dashboard.
Pro tip: Form data sitting in Sheet = unused. Dashboard layer = visibility. Same data, different value. Underused workflow.
Form Notifications
15/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT sets form-response notifications: who is pinged, every response versus a threshold, what the message says, and escalation so replies are not forgotten. Turn on notify for the owner, then add a channel ping if volume is high.
Form response notifications. Output: who gets notified (form owner, channel), trigger (every response vs threshold), notification content, escalation rules. Most form responses notify nobody = forgotten.
Pro tip: Default Forms: response goes to Sheet, no notification. Add notification (email or Slack via Apps Script) = real-time response. Critical for support / intake forms.
Form Templates Library
16/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a Form template library for [team] covering customer feedback, employee survey, intake, and RSVP, with question structure, branding, and response handling per template. Save the first template, then reuse it so new forms stay consistent.
Build Form template library for [team]. Templates: customer feedback, employee survey, intake, RSVP, etc. Per template: question structure, branding, response handling. Reusable = consistent.
Pro tip: Random forms per use case = inconsistent + slow build. Templated forms = consistent quality + 5-min creation. Build once, reuse many.
