- A mature, widely used product your respondents have probably already seen.

What Askwell brings
- Blob follows up on vague answers
- Blob reads every free-text answer. If it is too short to be useful, it asks 1 or 2 follow-up questions. The respondent sees the label “Question added by Blob (AI)”.
- An A/B test against a control
- You try another wording of a question, one question at a time. 10% of visits stay on the original version; no winner is announced before a response threshold and 7 days.
- Readable pricing
- Free at €0 with 100 responses read by Blob a month, Pro at €24 a month (€20 billed yearly). VAT not applicable, art. 293 B of the French tax code.
- An import of your form
- Paste the public link of a Tally, Typeform, Google Forms or Microsoft Forms form: Askwell creates a draft.
- Data stored in the EU
- Data is stored in the EU. Blob goes through Anthropic's API, outside the EU.
Typeform's AI, fairly described
Typeform already has respondent-side AI: “Clarify with AI” asks up to two clarifying questions after an answer to an open question, with caps that depend on the plan. It can also build a form with AI. Askwell is not the only one that follows up; what differs is the rest of the product (A/B testing, pricing, follow-ups included from the free plan).
