# Surveys

Surveys let you send out questions to collect qualitative information from team members.

Sleuth's[ Survey workflow](https://help.sleuth.io/features/surveys/survey-workflow) guides you through choosing the right questions, sending them to the right recipients, collecting their responses (all via Slack), and interpreting summarized responses with insightful data visualizations and [AI summaries](https://help.sleuth.io/features/ai-assistant).

You can then [add summarized results to a Review](https://help.sleuth.io/features/ai-assistant) to tell a rich story that combines qualitative and quantitative metrics.
