IntelliSurvey uses SPL — a structured scripting language — to define survey questions. You paste SPL code into the SPL Editor, save, and compile. Pirai AI generates that SPL code automatically from any source document. No need to learn the syntax, no manual field definitions.
How IntelliSurvey SPL Import Works
IntelliSurvey's SPL Editor accepts raw code that defines every question, question type, and answer option. Pirai AI generates the complete SPL file from your document. Copy the content, paste it into the editor, save, and compile. A green result means your survey built successfully.
