Quick Start

Create your first kicue survey in about five minutes — from account signup to publishing and reviewing results.

This guide walks first-time users through creating a survey, collecting responses, and viewing results — in about five minutes.

Step 1: Sign up and log in

  1. Open https://kicue.com and click Start for free
  2. Enter your email and password to create an account
  3. Click the link in the confirmation email to activate your account
  4. Log in, then complete the two-factor authentication (OTP)

See Account Setup for full details.

Step 2: Create a project

From the dashboard, click New project and give it a name (for example, "Concept Test — 2026 Q2"). One project represents one survey (one source document).

Step 3: Upload your survey document

On the project detail screen, drag and drop your survey file onto the Upload survey area.

Supported formats:

  • Excel (.xlsx)
  • Word (.docx)
  • PDF
  • Markdown (.md)
  • Plain text (.txt)

Once uploaded, AI parsing starts automatically.

Step 4: Review the AI parsing results

Within seconds, parsing completes and you are taken to the preview screen. Verify:

  • Question text, options, and question types are recognized correctly
  • Branching logic (skip / show conditions) matches your intent
  • Required / optional settings
  • Page breaks

You can fix anything inline without leaving the page.

Step 5: Publish

Click Publish in the top-right corner of the preview. kicue issues a public URL you can copy and share via email, chat, or social media.

Step 6: Collect responses

Recipients can fill out the form directly — no account required. Watch progress in real time from the Monitoring tab:

  • Total responses, completion rate, drop-off rate
  • Time-series chart
  • Fraud-flag counts
  • Per-quota progress if you use quota management

Step 7: Review results

Once you have enough responses, jump to the Analytics tab.

  • GT tabulation — simple tabulation per question
  • Cross tabulation — cross any two variables
  • Export — download raw data or aggregated results as CSV or Excel

That covers the basics. Explore the following sections next to learn more:
