Text survey
A questionnaire that goes live the moment you flip it on — no media upload, no processing wait. Perfect for quick customer research, concept testing, and ad-hoc polls.
When to use it
A text survey is the right format when you just want answers to questions — no video, no images. Mix open-ended questions with multiple-choice to balance qualitative depth with quantifiable signal.
Concept tests
Preference polling
Open-ended feedback

What you'll need
- A survey title and description — respondents see both, so keep them clear and outcome-oriented.
- A category and tagline — short labels that help Membrane surface your survey to the right audience.
- Your questions — any mix of open-ended, short text, single choice, or multiple choice.
- A reward amount — what each respondent earns for completing the survey. Must be a positive number.
- A landing-page link — a URL people can visit after the survey (e.g., your brand site).
Describe the survey. Review. Go live.
- Create a text survey called “Spring packaging feedback”. Tagline: “Help us pick our next look.” Category: packaging. Reward: 50. Landing page: example.com/packaging.
- Got it. I've created the survey (currently paused while we add questions). What questions should respondents see?
- Three questions:
- “Which style feels most premium to you?” — single choice: Matte black, Glossy white, Kraft paper.
- “Which of these words describe the new packaging?” — multiple choice: Modern, Playful, Sustainable, Bold, Minimal.
- “What's one thing you'd change?” — open-ended.
- Questions added. Want me to turn the survey on now, or leave it paused for a last review?
- Turn it on.
- Done — Spring packaging feedback is now live. Responses will start rolling in; ask me anytime for a summary.
Change your mind? Swap in a new question list.
If you realize mid-campaign that a question is phrased oddly, ask the AI to update the questions. The survey stays live with the new set.
Copy, paste, and tweak
“Create a text survey called 'Customer NPS — March'. Category: customer research. Reward: 25. Ask: 'How likely are you to recommend us to a friend?' (single choice: Very likely / Somewhat likely / Neutral / Unlikely / Very unlikely) and 'Why?' (open-ended). Turn it on immediately.”
“Set up a concept test called 'New flavor ideas'. Tagline: 'Which should we launch next?'. Category: food & beverage. Reward: 50. Ask respondents to pick their favorite among five new flavor concepts (single choice), and then explain their pick in one sentence (open-ended).”
“Create a pricing survey for our new subscription. Three price points: $9, $15, $25. Ask which price feels 'just right' (single choice) and 'too expensive' (single choice), plus an open-ended 'what would make this price feel fair?'. Reward 40. Category: subscription services.”
“My 'Spring packaging feedback' survey has been live for three days. Can you give me an insight report — what are the top themes in the open-ended responses, and which style came out on top?”
