Whose job is it to write the content? Have you ever had a project sit finished except for six pages of copy that nobody was assigned? And when the text finally arrives, who has the authority to approve it? Content is the most common reason a project misses its date, and almost always because nobody asked at the start. AI Client Content Questionnaire asks.
Short answer: AI Client Content Questionnaire is a free tool that builds an intake question set about a client's content: what already exists, who will supply what is missing, who owns the rights, and who signs it off.
What is AI Client Content Questionnaire?
AI Client Content Questionnaire generates the questions you send a client about the words, images, and assets a project will need. You describe the project. It returns a grouped set covering the existing inventory, the gaps, the supply plan, the rights position, and the approval chain.
It is deliberately unglamorous. There are no questions about tone of voice or brand personality, because those belong in a brand intake. This form is about logistics: what exists, who is producing the rest, by when, and who may say yes to it.
Why Use AI Client Content Questionnaire?
Content is where optimism meets reality on every project.
- Produces an inventory, so nobody assumes a page exists that does not.
- Assigns supply, which is the question that quietly decides your delivery date.
- Raises rights early, before an unlicensed photograph is already on a live page.
- Names the approval chain, including the person above your contact who can overturn a decision.
- Gives you a dated record, so a slipped date is visibly a supply problem rather than a delivery one.
Ask who holds the rights Text, photography, video, music, logos, testimonials, and staff images all carry rights, and clients frequently supply material they do not own. Ask where each asset came from, whether a licence exists, and whether the people in any photograph consented to this use. Publishing unlicensed material creates real liability, and being the person who put it on the page is not a comfortable position.
How Does AI Client Content Questionnaire Work?
In the prompt box, describe the project, the client, the type of content it needs, and the deadline. Say whether the client has a marketing team, a single busy owner, or an agency of record who will be involved.
Choose your engine from the model selector under the box. AI Client Content Questionnaire runs on MSB AI, OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude AI, Google Gemini, Qwen and Meta AI. Question sets vary between engines, so a second run and a merge is worth it when the project is large.
Work through the advanced options accordion and generate the questions. The output card shows the set with a live word count, a decent proxy for how much of the client's time you are requesting. Each version offers Copy, Listen, Reuse and Download, and exports as DOC, TXT or HTML. DOC is the export you want, because this form is completed by the client and returned. Reuse lets you take the inventory section and expand it into a page by page audit. Each version you generate stays available in the activity history panel.
| What you put in the prompt | What changes in the question set |
|---|---|
| The deadline and any fixed launch date | Supply questions acquire dates rather than intentions |
| Whether the client has a marketing team | The set assumes the right level of resource |
| "Ask about rights for every asset type" | Licensing questions appear per asset rather than once |
| "Identify the final approver" | The approval chain becomes a named question |
Who Uses It
- Web designers and developers whose builds stall waiting for copy.
- Content writers and editors scoping how much they are actually being asked to produce.
- Marketing consultants auditing what a client already has before proposing more.
- Small studios who want the same content conversation on every project.
- Anyone quoting fixed price work where content supply is the biggest unknown.
What To Put In The Prompt
- The project and the pages or pieces it needs.
- The launch date, and whether it can move.
- What you already know exists, so the form does not ask about it again.
- The client's internal resource: a team, one person, or nobody.
- Whether translation or multiple markets are involved.
- Any asset type you particularly need rights clarity on, such as photography.
| Section | What it establishes | Cost of skipping it |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | What already exists and is current | Rewriting pages the client already had |
| Supply | Who produces each gap, by when | A finished build waiting on copy |
| Rights | What may lawfully be published | Unlicensed assets on a live site |
| Approvals | Who says yes, and who outranks them | Endless review rounds with no decision |
Ask for a date per item, not a date for content "Content by the end of March" produces nothing. A table with one row per page, an owner, and a date produces about half of it, which is a considerable improvement.
Setting Question Count, Grouping, And Depth
Every control below is in the advanced options accordion on the AI Client Content Questionnaire page.
| Option | What it controls | When to change it | Suggested starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Prompts | How many questions come back | 25 for a large site, 10 for a single campaign | 15, which stays completable |
| Style | The character of the questions | Reflective only if you want opinions rather than facts | Action-Oriented, since this form is about logistics |
| Theme | The subject area the questions cluster around | Relationships or Career only for a personal brand project | General, with the subject set in Custom Instructions |
| Prompt Length | How long each question is | One-liner for an inventory list | Short |
| Include Follow-up Prompts | Adds probes under each question | On for supply and approval questions | On |
| Group by Theme | Clusters questions into sections | Keep on, since different people answer different parts | On |
| Include Guidance Notes | Adds an explanation under each question | On when the client has never scoped content before | On |
| Include Weekly Cadence | Spreads questions across a schedule | On when content is being delivered in phases | Off for a single intake |
| Depth | How probing the questions are | Higher when you suspect the client has less content than they think | Around 55 |
| Custom Instructions | Free text for anything the menus miss | Name the sections and ask for owner and date per item | "Content intake: inventory, gaps, supply owner and date, rights, approvals." |
Key Features
Inventory first
What already exists gets listed before anyone plans what to create, which usually shrinks the project.
Owner and date per item
Supply becomes a named person with a date, not a general intention to send things over.
Rights questions built in
Every asset type is asked about, so licensing is settled before publication rather than after a complaint.
Approval chain named
The form asks who signs off and who can overrule them, which is the question that saves the most time.
Fill in and return
Export to DOC and the client types their answers in place, which is the workflow that actually gets used.
From Brief To Completed Form
- List what you already know exists, so you are not asking about it.
- Generate the question set with the launch date in the prompt.
- Convert the supply section into a table with one row per item, an owner, and a date.
- Send it with a deadline and offer a call to complete it together.
- Chase the rows that came back without an owner, since those are the ones that will slip.
- Confirm rights for every asset the client is supplying.
- Agree what happens if content is late, in writing, before work starts.
- Keep the completed form as the baseline for any later scope conversation.
What A Finished Question Set Looks Like
A good result opens with an inventory section: what exists today, where it lives, and whether it is current. Then gaps, listing what the project needs that does not yet exist. Supply comes next, and this is where the form earns its keep, asking for a person and a date against each gap.
Rights follows, asking per asset type where material came from and what licence covers it. Approvals closes the set: who reviews, who signs off, how long each round takes, and whether anyone else can overturn a decision. Sensible sets end with one question about what happens if content is late, which is uncomfortable to ask and extremely useful to have answered.
Rights, Permissions, And What Not To Collect
Two boundaries matter on a content intake.
Never ask for logins or customer data Content forms often drift into requests for access. Keep credentials out entirely: ask for an account invitation instead. And never ask a client to attach customer lists, testimonials with personal details, or exports containing real people's information. If you need such material to do the work, handle it under a proper agreement and a secure transfer, not in an intake document that will sit in three inboxes.
The second boundary is about third parties. If the client wants to reuse material produced by a previous agency, photographer, or writer, ask who owns it. A great deal of supplied content turns out to be licensed to the client for one use only, and that constraint is far cheaper to discover now.
Tips That Get The Form Completed
- Send it after a conversation, never cold.
- Keep it to one sitting. Fifteen questions with follow ups beats forty flat ones.
- Offer to fill it in together on a call for clients who will otherwise never start.
- Pre populate anything you already know, which signals you have paid attention.
- Ask for a person's name, not a department, against each supply item.
- Give a deadline for the form itself, not just for the content.
- Follow up once on the rows left blank; those are the real risks.
Offer a content deadline clause Agreeing in advance what happens if content is late, such as a revised launch date or a holding page, turns a future argument into a decision already made. Clients rarely object when it is raised at intake.

Pros And Cons
What works well
- Turns content from an assumption into a plan with names and dates.
- Rights questions prevent a problem that is expensive to fix later.
- The completed form is your evidence when a date slips.
- Free with no account, and reusable on every project.
What to watch
- The underlying controls are general purpose, so the subject comes from your prompt.
- Clients overestimate what they have; answers need checking.
- Long forms get abandoned, so cutting is part of the work.
- No form makes content appear; it only makes the gap visible early.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the single most useful question on the form?
Who will write each piece, by what date. Everything else in a content plan depends on that answer being a person rather than a department.
Can I use the AI Client Content Questionnaire for free?
Yes. AI Client Content Questionnaire costs nothing and needs no registration, and you select the engine that builds it.
Should I offer to write the content myself?
Often yes, as a separately quoted option. Many clients discover at this point that they would rather pay than write, and it is much better to find that out at intake.
How do I handle rights for supplied photographs?
Ask where each image came from and what licence applies, including whether the people in it consented to this use. If the answer is unclear, do not publish it.
What if the client cannot answer the approval question?
That is itself the finding. Push politely until a name appears, because a project without a named approver will collect opinions instead of decisions.
Can I use this for a campaign rather than a website?
Yes. Reduce the question count, drop the inventory section, and keep supply, rights, and approvals, which are the parts that matter on a short timeline.
Should the questionnaire go in the contract?
Reference it rather than embedding it. The contract should say that scope is based on the completed intake, and the intake should be attached as an appendix.
Content is the part of a project that everybody underestimates, including the client who promised to write it. Ask early, ask for names and dates, and settle the rights before anything is published. Thank you for reading, and good luck with the launch.
