Abstract:

The plummeting of response rates figures is a very well-known issue in the Market Research industry. While the possible ways to deal with this issue are plentiful, an unavoidable candidate is engagement, in particular among Millennials. We test the use of two innovative technologies in the field of Artificial Intelligence in order to improve survey engagement: Google Vision API for classifying images and a speech recognition tool to convert voice input to text. The results of both studies are positive and draw a promising landscape for further research. Therefore, in this paper we present practical recommendations, based on the data and expertise gathered from these experiments, for those who want to implement new response format combined with artificial intelligence techniques.
