What Surbee is
Surbee is an AI-powered research platform for drafting surveys, screening responses, and asking questions about survey data in natural language. Users can provide a brief and receive a branched survey draft to review and distribute; the workflow also supports piloting, editing, validation, and accessibility features. Cipher checks responses for bots, VPNs, AI-written text, and rushed or copied answers. Integrated panels are intended to reach harder-to-find segments, with quotas and screeners enforced on Surbee’s side. Integrations include Slack, Notion, and Google Sheets, and developers can use a Cipher SDK to validate responses in a data pipeline. Surbee is available on the web and through an API, with hosted, private-cloud, and on-prem deployment options. Its privacy policy says survey content may be processed by providers including Anthropic and OpenAI, while survey and response content is not used to train third-party foundation models and personal information is not sold. Credits reset monthly and do not carry over. The Pro plan is $16.67 a month, billed annually.
