Indie Polls: embeddable polls and AI-written surveys
One snippet puts a poll on any page. AI drafts the questions, results update live, and every vote can fire a webhook into whatever you have built.
- Embed on any page in five minutes
- AI drafts the questions for you
- Live results, zero setup
The gap between wanting to know something about your users and actually knowing it is usually not analysis. It is the twenty minutes of setup that stands between you and asking. So the question does not get asked, and the decision gets made on a hunch instead.
Indie Polls closes that gap. Write a question, or let the AI draft one from a sentence describing what you are trying to learn, and paste a snippet where you want it. The poll renders on your page, results come in live, and you have an answer by the end of the day rather than the end of the quarter.
It is the third piece of the Releasy Suite: Hookfire reports what happened, Upvoted collects what users ask for, and Indie Polls answers the specific questions neither of those can.
What makes it fast
Every design decision in Indie Polls is aimed at the same thing: shortening the distance between having a question and having an answer.
One snippet, any page
The embed is a small script tag that works on a static site, a landing page, a documentation page, a React or Vue app, or inside your product. It does not fight your CSS and it does not drag in a framework.
AI drafts the questions
Describe what you want to learn in a sentence and Indie Polls proposes the question and the answer options, phrased to avoid the leading wording that quietly ruins most homemade surveys. Edit anything you disagree with.
Live results
Responses appear as they arrive, with no export step and no report to build. For a single-question poll you usually know the answer before you have finished reading your email.
Light enough to leave up
The widget is small and fast, so it can sit permanently on a pricing page or in an onboarding flow without becoming a performance problem you eventually have to remove.
Built for people who ship
The poll widget market is crowded with tools built for marketers. Indie Polls is built for the person who is going to do something with the answer in code.
A webhook on every vote
Point Indie Polls at an endpoint and each response arrives as JSON the moment it is submitted, going into your database, your CRM, a Slack channel, or straight into Hookfire as a notification on your phone.
An API, not just a dashboard
Create polls, read results and wire them into your own screens programmatically, so a poll can be part of a feature rather than a thing bolted onto the side of one.
No cookie banner required
The widget is designed to collect what it needs to count a vote and nothing more, which keeps a simple poll from turning into a privacy review.
Questions worth embedding
Polls earn their place when they are asked at the moment the user has the context to answer. A few that consistently pay for themselves:
On the pricing page
“What is stopping you from starting a trial?” asked in front of the price is a different question from the same one in an email a week later, and gets a much more useful answer.
After onboarding
One question about how the setup went, asked while it is fresh, will surface the step that loses people faster than any funnel chart.
In the docs
“Did this page answer your question?” turns your documentation into a ranked list of pages that need rewriting.
In a newsletter or changelog
A one-click poll is the lowest-effort reply you can offer a reader, which is why it gets response rates a survey link never will.
