Building Forms
How to Build a Form with AI
The AI Builder is the fastest way to go from an idea to a working form: describe what you want in the chat panel, and Orbiform drafts the questions, field types, and logic for you. You can keep refining it conversationally, or switch to manual editing at any point — the two aren't mutually exclusive.
1. How the AI Builder works
Open a form and use the chat panel next to the editor. Write a prompt like "Create an onboarding survey for a design SaaS — 5 questions, friendly tone" and Orbiform generates a full set of questions with appropriate types (dropdown, single choice, multi-select, long text, rating, and so on). Every question also has its own dedicated chat history, so you can ask the AI to tweak one question — "make this required" or "change this to a dropdown with these 4 options" — without regenerating the whole form.
2. Editing an existing form with AI
The AI Builder isn't only for blank forms — ask it to add, remove, or reorder questions on a form you've already built, and it applies the change directly. When AI updates a question whose label stays the same, the question's id is preserved, so existing responses keep their link to that question instead of orphaning historical data.
3. Asking the AI to build logic
You can describe conditional rules directly — for example, "if the satisfaction score is below 3, ask why" — and the AI builder sets up the show/skip rule for you. See Conditional Logic: Show, Skip, and Jump Rules to build the same kind of rule by hand.
4. Beyond questions: settings, webhooks, and integrations
The same chat panel isn't limited to editing questions — ask it to change the form's theme or branding, add a webhook, or connect Google Sheets, Notion, or Calendly using an account you've already signed in with, and it applies the change directly. See The Orbiform AI Assistant for the full list of what it can do, including its filter/export/report abilities on the Responses and Analytics tabs.
5. Usage limits
AI Builder generations count toward your plan's monthly usage (the Starter plan includes 10 AI Builder generations per month; Pro includes unlimited AI Builder use plus chat history). See Billing, Plans, and Upgrading for full plan comparisons.
