AI Form Builder

The AI Form Builder lets you generate a complete form from a text description. Instead of adding fields one by one, describe what you need and AI creates the form structure for you.

How It Works

  1. From the Forms page, click Create with AI to open the AI builder modal.
  2. Enter a prompt describing the form you want. Be as specific or general as you like.
  3. Click Generate and wait a few seconds while the AI creates your form.
  4. Once generated, you are redirected to the standard form builder where you can review, edit, and adjust the generated form before saving.

Writing a Good Prompt

The more context you provide, the better the result. Examples:

  • "Create a contact form with name, email, phone number, and a message field"
  • "Build a job application form for a software developer position"
  • "Make a customer feedback survey with rating options and open-ended comments"

Quick-Start Examples

The AI builder includes pre-made example buttons to get you started quickly:

  • Contact Form
  • Feedback Survey
  • Job Application
  • Event Registration
  • Bug Report
  • Quote Request
  • Newsletter Signup
  • Customer Onboarding

Click any example to auto-fill a prompt, then click Generate.

What Gets Generated

The AI generates a complete form structure including:

  • Form name — A descriptive title for the form.
  • Description — A brief explanation of the form's purpose.
  • Submit button text — A contextual button label.
  • Thank you message — A success message tailored to the form type.
  • Fields — Typically 4-10 fields with appropriate types (text, email, dropdown, textarea, etc.), labels, placeholders, options for choice fields, and required status.

Review Before Publishing

The AI-generated form is always saved as a draft. You are taken to the form builder after generation so you can:

  • Add, remove, or reorder fields
  • Adjust labels, placeholders, and options
  • Change field types
  • Set validation rules and conditional logic
  • Customize the theme

Nothing is published until you explicitly click Publish.

Technical Details

The AI Form Builder is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model. Your prompt is sent securely to the API, and the response is used to create the form structure. The generated form respects plan limits — for example, file upload fields are only included if your plan supports them.
