Three tools that work together — a questionnaire designer, a requirements document designer, and an AI that delivers the whole thing to stakeholders as a guided conversation rather than a form. This page covers every capability in detail.
01 — The Questionnaire Designer
Describe your assessment goal to the AI — "I need a SailPoint role mining questionnaire" or "create a vendor risk assessment" — and it generates a complete questionnaire with questions, answer options, dependencies and branching logic. Then fine-tune it in the visual editor.
02 — Question Types
Every question type renders inline in the conversation, so stakeholders answer naturally without switching to a separate form. The AI adapts its delivery to the question type.
Free-form answers in a natural conversation. The AI can probe for more detail, ask clarifying questions, or explain terminology.
Dropdowns, radio buttons and checkboxes, with optional custom input. Constrain answers to your options or let stakeholders type their own.
Multi-row, multi-column tables where rows generate from previous answers. List your roles and the matrix appears with each role as a row. Cell types: text, boolean, dropdown, number.
Form-like layouts inline in the conversation — labels left, inputs right. Related fields bundled so stakeholders complete them as one step.
Questions that only appear when relevant. If a stakeholder says "we don't use PAM," every PAM follow-up vanishes. Content-aware pruning, not just yes/no rules.
Chain questions into flows. Answer A triggers question B, which unlocks section C. The visual editor shows the full dependency graph.
Stakeholders drop in a spreadsheet or PDF mid-conversation; the AI extracts answers, maps them to the right questions and pre-fills the form. Review before submitting.
A pencil icon on every submitted answer. Click to revise inline — matrix grids, horizontal groups, text — without restarting the conversation.
03 — The Requirements Document Designer
Most tools collect answers and leave you to write the report. ICA inverts that: design the requirements document template first, then map answers into it. When stakeholders finish, the document writes itself.
04 — The Conversational Experience
When a stakeholder opens their assigned questionnaire they do not see fifty blank fields. They see a chat interface with an AI that understands the subject matter, delivers one question at a time, explains why each question matters, and adapts based on every answer.
05 — The Built-In AI Assistant
A floating AI assistant lives on every page. It does not only answer questions — it executes them. Create users, assign questionnaires, generate reports, even auto-answer an entire questionnaire from a reference document, chaining several commands in a single message.
06 — Accelerating Completion
Administrators can pre-answer questions with institutional knowledge before stakeholders ever see the questionnaire. Stakeholders review each pre-answer and agree or disagree — with written justification required for a disagreement, which makes the trail audit-ready.
07 — Cross-Stakeholder Analytics
When twelve stakeholders answer the same questionnaire, the interesting part is not the individual answers — it is the patterns. ICA detects contradictions, measures consensus, flags anomalies and shows where the gaps and risks are before the requirements document is generated.
08 — Why This Is Not a Survey Tool
The distinction is not marketing. It shows up in every capability that determines whether requirements gathering finishes in days or in weeks.
| Capability | Identity CoAnalyst | SurveyMonkey | Typeform | Google Forms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI generates the questionnaire | Yes | No | Basic AI | No |
| AI delivers questions conversationally | Yes | No | No | No |
| AI explains questions to stakeholders | Yes | No | No | No |
| Content-aware question pruning | Yes | Rule-based | Rule-based | Basic skip |
| Auto-generated requirements documents | Yes | No | No | No |
| Document upload → pre-answers | Yes | No | No | No |
| Cross-stakeholder contradiction detection | Yes | No | No | No |
| Natural-language application control | Yes | No | No | No |
| Multi-tenant with data isolation | Yes | Enterprise only | No | No |
Survey tools automate distribution. ICA automates expertise. The AI does not simply deliver questions — it understands the domain, explains terminology, prunes irrelevant paths based on what was actually said, and generates the documentation that used to take weeks of manual compilation. Design the questions once; the platform handles everything between "assign" and "deliverable".
09 — 500+ Questions Across 11 Domains
Pre-configured questionnaires organised by domain — not blank templates. Every question is written by practitioners and structured to produce output that maps directly to implementation requirements.
Certification types, reviewer workflows, escalation rules, SoD policy and revocation procedures.
~50 questionsRole definitions, assignment modes, access policies, role mining and entitlement mapping.
28 questionsApplication entitlements, request routing, approval chains and provisioning workflows.
41 questionsJoiner-mover-leaver processes, event timing, onboarding and termination procedures.
~80 questionsPrivileged access discovery, vault architecture, credential policies, session recording and audit controls.
56 questionsAttribute modeling, identity correlations, ID matching rules and source-of-truth definitions.
~70 questions10 — API & Integrations
A full REST API with OpenAPI 3.0 documentation and an interactive Scalar UI means ICA plugs into an existing delivery ecosystem. Pull survey results, retrieve answers and access generated documents programmatically.
Identity CoAnalyst is generally available and running on live engagements today.
