Dr. Devon Jensen was looking for a tool that would get the job done properly.
He found it with Pirai AI.
The conversion was perfect. The upload was smooth. His survey was live in Qualtrics and he could get back to what mattered, the research itself.
The Challenge
Getting a Word document to produce a clean, importable QSF file is one of the most technically demanding steps in the research workflow. Question types need to be identified correctly. Response options need to be structured precisely. The output needs to conform to Qualtrics' exact import schema or the file simply will not load.
For Dr. Devon Jensen, a researcher in Educational Leadership and Higher Education at the University of Central Florida, finding a tool that handled all of this reliably was the goal. Once he found Pirai AI, the result was immediate and exactly what he needed.
The Solution
Dr. Jensen uploaded his survey document to Pirai AI. The platform processed his 64 questions and 296 response options, structured them correctly and generated a QSF file ready for direct import into Qualtrics.
No errors. No incomplete outputs. A clean file that uploaded perfectly on the first try.
"I had tried many prompts in ChatGPT to fix conversion errors, but nothing worked. Then I found Pirai AI — and that was a good find! The conversion to QSF went perfectly, and I was easily able to upload the file into Qualtrics."
One upload. One clean output. One smooth import into Qualtrics.
What Made the Difference
Pirai AI is purpose-built for survey conversion. It is designed specifically to understand question types, response structures, matrix formats and the precise QSF schema that Qualtrics requires for a clean import.
That specificity is what produces a file that imports correctly every time, regardless of how complex the original document is.
For Dr. Jensen, 64 questions and 296 response options went in and came out perfectly structured. No manual cleanup. No failed imports. No wasted time.
