# Dynamic Follow-up Questions

Adapt questions based on previous responses with intelligent, context-aware follow-ups. Collect deeper insights by personalizing the form experience in real-time.

## How It Works

AI analyzes respondent answers and automatically generates relevant follow-up questions to gather more detailed information where it matters most.

## Key Features

**Smart Question Generation**

**Examples**

**Low Satisfaction Score**

```
Initial: "How satisfied are you with our service?" → Score: 3/10
AI Follow-up: "We're sorry to hear that. What was the main reason for your dissatisfaction?"
```

**Feature Request**

```
Initial: "Which feature would you like to see next?" → Answer: "API improvements"
AI Follow-up: "What specific API functionality would be most valuable to you?"
```

**High Engagement Signal**

```

AI Follow-up: "What's your primary use case when using our product daily?"
```
