How-To Guide: Analyze HR Survey Responses with AI
Step 1: Export your survey responses
Pull the open-text responses from your survey tool. You want just the free-text answers — not the multiple-choice ratings (those you can analyze with your survey tool's built-in charts).
- Open your survey tool (Google Forms: go to Responses → Download CSV; SurveyMonkey: Analyze → Export)
- Open the CSV in Google Sheets or Excel
- Find the columns with open-text responses
- Copy the text from those columns
