If you only need to collect answers, a bot builds that today and you should stop paying. But that's not what SurveyMonkey sells at the top of its pricing page. It sells access to a respondent panel - real people, demographically balanced, who will answer your survey because they're paid to. You cannot build a panel. You also can't build the benchmarking that compares your results to thousands of other organisations, or the question bank that stops you writing leading questions without realising. Those are data and people, not software.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
Only build this if you already have the people to send it to. If you're paying SurveyMonkey for their audience panel, no prompt replaces that - keep paying. If you have your own list: You have a computer. Build me a survey tool and keep it running. - Surveys defined in YAML: question, type (single, multi, scale 1-5, open text), required, and simple skip logic. - One page per survey, server-rendered, works without JavaScript, mobile-first. Most people will answer this on a phone on a sofa. - Unique response links so I can tell who answered without asking their name twice, plus an anonymous mode where I explicitly can't. Results: - SQLite plus a results page: distribution per question, mean and median for scales, and open text listed in full. - CSV export that opens correctly in Excel, including the UTF-8 BOM. You will forget this and I will be annoyed. - Show the response rate and how many dropped out partway, per question. One honest thing: do not compute statistical significance or confidence intervals unless I ask and tell you the population. A made-up confidence interval is worse than none. Running it: stable URL, TLS, nightly backups off your machine.

what you lose
- the respondent panel - you cannot conjure people
- benchmarks against thousands of other surveys
- a question bank designed by people who study survey methodology
- statistical significance testing you didn't have to think about
