Use AI to create forms

Getting started with the first steps can be challenging when you’re building something from scratch. When creating forms, you can now use AI to kickstart that first draft a little faster.

Here’s how to use a little help from your AI friend when creating a form:

1. Log into your Typeform account and click + Create a new form in your workspace.

2. Select the Create with AI option.

3. Type your own instructions or select an option suggested by AI and click Continue.

If you decide to give instructions to the AI yourself, you’ll also find some useful tips to help you get the best results. For example, provide as much detail as possible, mention your audience, and provide the context of your form.

In this example, let’s use one of the options suggested by AI to create a customer satisfaction survey.

4. Next, write out some specific questions you need in your form.

You can go into as much or as little detail here as you want. If you already have an outline ready for your form, this might be a good time to feed it to AI, but if you just want to get started with a first draft, you can keep the information provided here to a minimum.

5. You can optionally add information about your business. 

When you’re ready, click Generate questions and give AI a little time to create your form.

And there you have it! AI has created a brand new customer satisfaction survey just for you.

You can delete any questions you don't need and edit your form to get it just right. 

Let’s take a look at what we’ve got here! The AI-generated form already includes an Opinion Scale question followed by some Dropdown and Multiple Choice questions where new customers can share their opinion about the event with the answer options already provided by AI.

For the Dropdown question, you can click the dropdown arrow or the Edit choices button to edit the answer options. Click Save choices when you’re happy with your options.

There are a few Long Text questions where respondents can type in their answers in their own words. 

AI even went the extra mile and added a few more questions that I haven’t even mentioned when I provided the topics and questions needed for the form above.

Here’s an Opinion Scale question about how likely customers will continue to use the product…

…and finally a Long Text question asking if there's anything else they'd like to share about their experience with the support team. 

Sweet! Now let’s take a look at a different example. Here, I asked AI to create a form to schedule a live demo with potential leads. The only questions I provided were opt-in questions asking people whether they’d be interested in learning more about my product and scheduling a demo; and a question about when they’d like to attend the live demo.

In this case, AI generated a form that already included a Calendly question for setting up the live demo session.

6. You can also use AI to create questions in an existing form. Open the form you want to add the questions to and click + Add content.

7. Select the Create with AI tab and follow the instructions above. The questions will be added to the end of your form. If you'd like to change the order, just drag and drop them to where you want them.
