FormFlows.ai embeds AI at multiple points in the form-building and data-collection process. You can use it to go from a blank screen to a fully structured form in seconds, get field suggestions as you build, and automatically process data that respondents provide.

​
AI form generation

The fastest way to create a form is to describe it in plain English. FormFlows.ai’s AI reads your description and produces a complete form — fields, labels, placeholder text, validation rules, and logical field order — ready to review and publish.
1

Open the form creator

From your workspace dashboard, click New form, then select Generate with AI.
2

Describe your form

Type a plain-English description of what you want to collect. The more specific you are, the closer the output will be to what you need.
3

Review the generated form

FormFlows.ai presents the generated form in the builder. Every field is fully editable — you can add, remove, or reorder anything.
4

Regenerate or refine

If the output isn’t quite right, click Regenerate to try again, or type a follow-up instruction such as “Add a section for billing address” or “Make the phone number field optional”.

​
Example prompts

These prompts produce good results out of the box. Treat them as starting points and adjust for your specific use case.
  • “Create a job application form for a software engineering role. Include sections for personal information, work experience, education, and a cover letter textarea.”
  • “Build a customer satisfaction survey for a SaaS product. Use a 1–5 rating scale for ease of use, customer support, and value for money. End with an open-ended feedback field.”
  • “Generate an event registration form for a two-day conference. Collect name, email, company, job title, dietary restrictions, and t-shirt size.”
  • “Make a vendor onboarding form. Ask for business name, tax ID, primary contact details, payment method preference, and a file upload for W-9 or equivalent.”
  • “Create a support ticket form. Include fields for issue category (dropdown), priority level, affected product version, a description textarea, and a file attachment for screenshots.”

​
What AI generates

When you submit a prompt, the AI determines and configures:
  • The appropriate field type for each data point (text, email, dropdown, rating, file upload, etc.)
  • Labels and placeholder text that match standard conventions for your form category
  • Which fields should be required versus optional
  • Logical grouping of fields into sections
  • An appropriate thank-you message

​
Smart field suggestions

As you add fields manually in the builder, FormFlows.ai analyzes the existing fields in your form and suggests what to add next. Suggestions appear in the Add field panel as you work. For example, if your form already has First name and Last name fields, the AI may suggest adding Email address, Phone number, or Company next. If you’ve built a payment form, it may suggest an Order notes or Billing address field. You can accept a suggestion with one click or dismiss it. Suggestions are context-aware — they change as you add more fields.

​
Auto-labeling and placeholder generation

When you drag a new field type onto the canvas without giving it a label, FormFlows.ai infers a label from the surrounding context. A text field added after an Email field in a contact form section might be auto-labeled “Phone number”. A textarea at the bottom of a support form might be labeled “Describe the issue”. You can always override any auto-generated label, placeholder, or help text. Auto-labeling is a starting point, not a final decision.

​
AI-powered data extraction

When respondents upload files — PDFs, images, Word documents, spreadsheets — FormFlows.ai can automatically extract structured data from them and map the extracted values to form fields. Common use cases:
  • Extract invoice number, vendor name, and line items from a PDF invoice upload
  • Pull the applicant’s name, email, and work history from a resume PDF
  • Read account number and statement date from an uploaded bank statement
  • Capture product SKU and quantity from a purchase order
Data extraction runs after the form is submitted. The extracted values are attached to the submission record and available in workflows, the API, and exports. The original uploaded file is always preserved alongside the extracted data.
To enable extraction on a file upload field:
  1. Select the File upload field in the builder.
  2. Open Field settings and toggle on Extract data from uploaded files.
  3. Map each data point you want to extract to an existing field in your form.

​
Spam and abuse detection

FormFlows.ai automatically screens every inbound submission for spam, bot-generated content, and abusive input before storing or routing it. The detection model evaluates:
  • Submission velocity — unusually high submission rates from the same IP address or device fingerprint
  • Content patterns — known spam phrases, nonsense strings, and promotional link injection
  • Field consistency — values that contradict each other or don’t match expected formats (e.g., an email field that contains a phone number)
  • Bot signals — honeypot field interactions, missing browser timing signals, and known headless browser characteristics
Submissions flagged as spam are not deleted. They are quarantined in the Spam folder of your submissions inbox, where you can review and restore them if they were incorrectly flagged. Workflows do not execute for quarantined submissions unless you explicitly restore them.
You can adjust the sensitivity of spam detection per form in Form settings → Spam protection. Higher sensitivity catches more spam but may increase false positives for unusual-but-legitimate submissions.

​
AI usage and limits

AI form generation credits are included in all paid plans. The Free plan includes five AI-generated forms per month. Starter, Growth, and Business plans have higher or unlimited generation credits — see your plan details on the billing page.
AI features that operate on submission data (data extraction, spam detection) process data in isolated, short-lived execution contexts. Submission content is not used to train or improve AI models. See the privacy overview for more detail.
Yes. The POST /forms/generate endpoint accepts a natural-language prompt and returns a fully structured form definition you can create programmatically. See the API reference for the request schema.
AI form generation supports prompts written in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and Japanese. Generated form labels and placeholder text are produced in the same language as your prompt.
