Maptionnaire has AI tools for building and translating your survey, moderating public responses, and analysing the results. This page lists them all in one place, with links to the full instructions.
The AI tools
Click a tool to see where to find it and what it does.
AI survey draft
Where to find it: Questionnaires > New questionnaire > Build with AI
Creates a first draft of a survey from a description of your topic, audience and goals, or from a draft you paste in. You can then edit everything as usual. How to
Edit with AI
Where to find it: Survey editor > Edit with AI (the sparkle icon, top right)
Makes changes to your survey while you work in the editor. Describe what you want in plain language, such as adding a question, rewriting a text or changing answer options, and it makes the change for you. It works on any draft survey, whether you started with AI or from scratch. You can undo the last change; check every change before you publish. How to
AI translation
Where to find it: Translation tool > AI translation
Translates your survey into the languages you add, in the tone you choose. Check the result before publishing, ideally with a native speaker. How to
Sentiment analysis
Where to find it: Analysis tool, on any open-text question
Classifies each open answer as positive, neutral or negative and shows the split as a chart. A quick first look at the tone. How to
AI tagging
Where to find it: Analysis tool, on an open-text question > Generate tags
Finds the 5–10 most common themes in the answers and tags each answer with them. You can edit the tags; they also appear in the Excel export. How to
Ask questions about your data
Where to find it: Analysis tool > AI button > Ask questions about data
Lets you ask questions about the responses shown in your current view, for example “Summarize the main concerns about this area”. Works well together with filters and spatial filters. How to
AI report
Where to find it: Analysis tool > AI button > Generate report automatically
Writes a full results report with a narrative, charts and map cluster analysis. You can edit every section, then download it or share it as a web page. How to
AI-ready text export
Where to find it: Export > txt
Exports your data together with the survey structure as a .txt file, so you can analyse it in an AI assistant of your choice. How to
AI moderation
Where to find it: Public responses settings
Checks open-text answers and uploads in public questions and hides content flagged as inappropriate before other respondents see it. You can review flagged items, see why they were flagged and restore them in Export > Moderate public responses. Map and multiple-choice answers are not checked. How to
Which analysis tool should I use?
- For a quick sense of the tone: sentiment analysis.
- To see what people talk about, and how often: AI tagging.
- To answer a specific question, such as what people said about one area: filter the data, then ask questions about your data.
- To share the results with others: the AI report.

Check the results
AI tools save a lot of time, but treat their output as a draft. Check tags, summaries and reports against the actual responses before you publish or share them, especially when a theme is based on only a few answers.
How your data is handled
- AI features that use response data (sentiment analysis, AI tagging, asking questions about your data, the AI report and AI moderation) run on AI models in AWS, in the same region where your response data is already stored – EU data stays in the EU, US data in the US. As of August 2026, these features use Claude Sonnet 4.6 on Amazon Bedrock. Response data never leaves Maptionnaire's AWS environment or region. The model does not retain your responses after processing them, and your data is not used to train AI models.
- AI survey draft and Edit with AI also run on Claude Sonnet 4.6 on Amazon Bedrock, in the same AWS region. They only use your survey content and what you give them – your description, pasted draft or requests, and any map material you select – not response data.
- AI translation uses Google Gemini. Only the content you translate (survey or Project Page texts) is sent – no response data.
