Survey programmers receive a specification document and rebuild it manually inside a platform — one question, one answer option, one recode value at a time. For a 100-question survey, that is an 8 to 12 hour process. For a multi-platform project, that process repeats for each destination.
Pirai AI converts the specification directly into a validated platform file. Programmers review, validate, and export — without rebuilding from scratch. The same spec can output to Qualtrics, Forsta, Dimensions, REDCap, and 23+ more from a single upload.
Platform Output Formats
Pirai AI produces the exact file format each platform requires. Qualtrics receives a QSF file that imports via Create New Project from a File. REDCap receives a CSV data dictionary that uploads via Project Setup. SurveyMonkey receives a TXT file for the Paste Your Content importer. Forsta receives XML. Dimensions receives MDD. Alchemer receives a Word Import format file with the correct syntax.
The Review Workspace gives programmers full control before export. The Outline panel lists every extracted question. The Validation panel flags structural issues. The Live Preview shows exactly how the survey renders. For Qualtrics-specific workflow documentation, the free Qualtrics Toolkit includes extractor scripts for Dashboard field mappings, XM Directory mappings, Basic Transform Task mappings, and Add Contacts and Transactions to XMD task mappings.
Workflow Documentation Tools
Beyond conversion, survey programmers managing Qualtrics environments regularly need to document workflow configurations before migrations and handovers. The Basic Transform Mapper, XM Directory Mapper, and Dashboard Field Mapper all run directly in the browser console and export full configuration CSVs in under 2 minutes each.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pirai AI produces QSF for Qualtrics, CSV Data Dictionary for REDCap, XML for Forsta, MDD for UNICOM Dimensions, Word Import format for Alchemer, TXT for SurveyMonkey, Google Apps Script for Google Forms, and native formats for 20+ additional platforms.
Pirai AI maps source document question types to the closest equivalent in the target platform. Where a question type has no direct equivalent, the conversion produces a valid alternative and flags it in the validation panel so the programmer can review and adjust before export.
Yes. Pirai AI produces UNICOM Dimensions MDD output files, one of the most specialised formats in professional market research. This allows Dimensions programmers to receive a pre-built MDD structure from a Word specification rather than scripting the entire survey in Dimensions from scratch.
Pirai AI delivers a 73% overall time reduction across all supported platforms. A 100-question survey that takes 8 to 12 hours to script manually converts in under 15 minutes. Programmers then focus their time on logic configuration and QA rather than manual data entry.
