As you formulate questions for forms and surveys, Typeform uses artificial intelligence to add conversational elements to the data collection experience. In final form, you can easily embed your data collection tool into webpages. You'll receive notifications when respondents complete the survey, which you can download to a spreadsheet.

Whether you use the tool to poll learners or to gather feedback on your virtual training session, Typeform is worth exploring. The free plan enables users to create up to three surveys they can disseminate however they choose. Additional plan options offer increased functionality.
