Get More from your Alchemer Survey Responses with BlockSurvey’s AI Analysis

AI has become a necessity for all survey platforms. Be it creating or analyzing surveys with AI, the true value lies in how fast & easily it is done, to extract deeper & actionable insights.

While Alchemer is a powerful tool for creating complex surveys with advanced logic and branching, it falls short when it comes to AI-powered analysis, especially for users working with open-ended or qualitative responses. Alchemer does not offer reliable AI capabilities to analyze text responses. As a result, users are left with raw data that needs to be manually exported and analyzed using external tools like Excel, IBM Watson, adding complexity to the process.

What truly sets BlockSurvey’s AI Survey Analysis apart is, you can go from raw survey responses to a comprehensive report in minutes, with no coding or tech expertise required.

Whether you're an HR professional, researcher, or CX manager, BlockSurvey empowers you to act on insights, not just collect data, making it a compelling alternative to Alchemer for modern, AI-driven survey analysis. You’ll see how as you read through.

Use Case: From Overwhelmed HR Director to Insight-Driven Leader

Meet Scott, an HR Director at a mid-sized tech company, who has been using Alchemer for years to run quarterly employee engagement surveys. He faced a major hurdle: analyzing hundreds of open-ended responses.

Alchemer didn’t offer built-in AI, so Scott and his team would export survey data into spreadsheets, manually read each comment, and attempt to gauge insights. This time-consuming process delayed action and left employee concerns buried in raw text.

Frustrated with the inefficiency and the risk of missing key insights, Scott switched to BlockSurvey. With just a simple upload of his existing Alchemer survey data, BlockSurvey’s AI instantly highlighted themes like “burnout,” “lack of growth,” and “workload imbalance.” It generated a clean, shareable report within minutes.

Below is an example of thematic analysis generated by BlockSurvey’s AI analysis.

What once took Scott’s team a week now took less than an hour, with more clarity and confidence in the results. For Scott, the migration wasn’t just a tool change—it was a transformation in how his team listens, understands, and responds to their people.
