Introduction

Aftercare AI uses a few steps to generate your followup questions.

1

Survey Context

Provide context about the survey, , and response

2

Evaluate

Determine the and of the survey.

3

Generate

Create the followup question using .

Survey Context

Garbage in, garbage out

- a wise man

The quality of followup question that Aftercare AI generates is dependant on the quality of context given to Aftercare about the survey. While many fields are optional, try to provide as many as you can.

Question context is especially helpful for followup generation. Telling the AI what you are trying to learn from the question helps Aftercare reason about the right line of questioning.

See the followup generation API reference for the most up to date params.

Evaluation

Aftercare will evalute the survey, topic question, and response and provide two scores:

  • completeness: . Responses high in completeness answer the topic question well.
  • relevance: . Responses low in relevance are usually no-answer, troll answers, or just completely unrelated answers.

These scores are used in the next section, generation

Generation

Determining when to stop asking a followup question is a fairly nuanced problem that depends on the situation. Aftercare provides some common followup behaviors to choose from, called guidance behavior. Alternatively you can determine the followup behavior on your own using the completeness and relevance scores.

Succinct (default)

The AI will not generate a follow-up question if the response is irrelevant or complete. This is the default behavior.

Redirection

The AI will return a follow-up question that redirects the user to answering the top-level question if it is irrelevant and incomplete.

Verbose

The AI will return a follow-up question regardless of the relevance or completeness of the response.
