Five Steps, Start to Download

This is the exact workflow every Pirai AI conversion follows : from document upload to platform-ready file.

1

Choose your input method

Start a new conversion at platform.piraiai.com. You can either paste survey text directly into the editor, or upload a file. Both paths lead to the same structured output.

Paste Text Upload File
2

Upload any document format

Pirai AI accepts all common document formats. For PDFs, enable Advanced Processing to handle scanned paper surveys and photocopied questionnaires : Pirai AI extracts all questions from image-based PDFs. Images coming soon.

Review and edit in the workspace

After processing, Pirai AI opens the Review workspace. This is where you validate, edit, and preview your converted survey before downloading. Three panels work together:

  • Outline panel : full question list organised by block, navigate to any question
  • Validation panel : per-question validation results, Accept or Reject each question, AI Survey Editor for conversational edits
  • Platform preview : live preview of how the question will look in your chosen platform, PREV/NEXT navigation
Validation per question Accept / Reject controls Live platform preview AI Survey Editor

Edit : three ways

Pirai AI gives you full control over the converted survey before downloading. Choose the editing method that suits your task.

Smart Fix + AI Editor

  • Smart Fix detects and auto-corrects structural errors
  • If auto-fix fails, AI Editor resolves it via plain English
  • Type "Change Q3 to matrix" or "Make Q5 mandatory"
  • No need to learn the spec format to fix common errors

Table View

  • Edit question type via dropdown
  • Edit question text inline
  • Edit answer options and recode values
  • Manual fix for any field: full control

Bulk Edit (Excel)

  • Export survey to Excel, edit, re-import
  • Import wizard validates before applying changes
  • Errors listed clearly: upload blocked until fixed
  • See Excel spec format guide

What Makes Pirai AI Different

Most conversion tools are one-way pipelines. Pirai AI gives you a full editing workspace between upload and download.

AI Survey Editor

Conversational editing inside the review workspace. Type "Change Q3 to a matrix" or "Add an open text follow-up after Q5" and the AI applies the edit instantly.

Table View Editor

Spreadsheet-style editing. Change question types via dropdown, edit text inline, update recode values, and adjust matrix settings : all without leaving the platform.

Bulk Excel Import/Export

Export your survey to Excel, make bulk changes, and re-import. The import wizard validates your Excel file before applying changes: if errors are found, it lists them clearly and will not allow the upload until they are fixed. Once corrected and re-uploaded, save your changes. See the Excel spec format guide for required column structure.

Per-Question Validation

Every question shows validation results. Accept or reject individual questions before finalising. No silent errors reach your survey platform.

Live Platform Preview

See exactly how each question will render in your chosen platform while you review. Desktop, tablet, and mobile preview modes available.

Download As : Any Platform

Once a survey is in your Conversion History, download it to any supported platform at any time. No reprocessing. One document, 27 output formats.

Scanned PDF Support

Enable Advanced Processing when uploading a PDF to extract questions from scanned paper surveys and photocopied questionnaires. Paper to digital in minutes.

Conversion History

Every conversion is saved. Search by file name, survey, or user. Filter by platform or status. Re-download, edit, or start a new conversion from any historical entry.

Common Questions

How does Pirai AI work?

Pirai AI works in five steps: (1) Choose your input : paste text or upload a file (Word, PDF, Excel, CSV, TXT, XML, QSF, JSON). (2) Pirai AI processes the document and converts it to a structured survey draft. (3) Review in the workspace : validate each question, use the AI Survey Editor, or switch to Table View for inline editing. (4) Bulk edit by exporting to Excel, editing, and re-importing. (5) Click Finalize and Download. From Conversion History, re-download to any of 27 platforms at any time.

Can I edit my survey after Pirai AI converts it?

Yes : three ways. The AI Survey Editor lets you type instructions to edit conversationally. Table View lets you edit question types, text, and answer options inline.
