How does the AI follow-up work on this form?

When an answer to one of the open-ended questions is vague, SiliForm can ask one clarifying follow-up before moving on — so 'it's annoying' becomes an actual specific pain point.

Why ask about the current process before the frustration question?

Context first — knowing how someone actually works today makes the complaint that follows specific instead of generic.

Is the 'magic wand' question necessary?

No, it's optional — a nice bonus for a concrete feature idea, but the two required questions above it are what actually validate a real problem.

Why each question earns its place

How do you currently handle this today?: Asked before the frustration question on purpose — the current workflow gives context that makes the complaint that follows specific instead of vague.
What's the most frustrating part of that process?: Required and open-ended — the field the AI follow-up is most likely to fire on when the answer is too short to act on.
If you could fix one thing about it, what would it be?: Optional — a bonus feature signal, not required validation like the two questions above it.
