AI generation
AI form generation
Describe the form you need in plain language and get a complete, structured form back in seconds.
Most form builders still make you place every field by hand: drag a text box, set its label, choose a type, add options, wire up validation, repeat. Formius replaces that with a sentence. You describe what you are collecting and who it is for, and the form is generated for you, ready to review and publish.
Generation is powered by Anthropic Claude and tuned for structure rather than creativity, so the output is a consistent, sensible form instead of a surprise. You stay in control: every generated form lands as a draft you can read, edit, and approve before a single response comes in.
How it works
You write a prompt like "a client intake form for a design studio: contact details, project type, budget range, timeline, and a place to upload a brief". Formius sends that to Claude with a strict output contract and gets back a fully structured form: field labels, the right field type for each answer, select options where they make sense, and validation rules such as required fields and email formats.
The result is saved as a draft. Nothing is published and no link is live until you decide it is ready, so you can generate freely and throw away anything that misses.
What it generates for you
A single prompt produces more than a list of questions. Formius infers the details that normally eat your time:
- The correct field type per question: short text, long text, email, number, date, single choice, multiple choice, and file upload.
- Sensible options for choice fields, drawn from the context of your prompt.
- Validation such as required fields and email format checks, so bad data is caught at the source.
- A clear title and description, which you can localize into every supported language automatically.
Refine by chatting, not by dragging
Generation is not one-shot. Formius has a dedicated AI edit mode: ask for a change in plain language ("make the budget field a dropdown with three tiers", "add a consent checkbox before submit") and the form is updated in place. You can alternate between AI edits and manual tweaks as much as you like.
Once a form has collected responses, Formius blocks edits that would break existing data and allows the safe ones, so refining a live form never silently corrupts what you have already gathered.
Fast, and honest about limits
Because the model is tuned for low-variance structured output, the same prompt produces a dependable form rather than a different shape every time. Generation runs against your plan generation quota, which is transparent: paid plans include a generous monthly allowance, and you can always check what you have left. AI generation is a starting point that is right most of the way, not a black box you cannot correct: the review-before-publish draft step is deliberate.
Frequently asked questions
- Which AI model generates the forms?
- Formius uses Anthropic Claude, configured for structured, low-variance output so the generated form is consistent and predictable rather than creative.
- Do I have to accept whatever the AI generates?
- No. Every generated form is saved as a draft. You review it, edit it by chatting or by hand, and only you decide when it goes live.
- Can I change a form after it is generated?
- Yes. Use AI edit mode to change it in plain language, or edit fields manually. Once responses exist, breaking edits are blocked and safe edits are still allowed.
- Is there a limit on how many forms I can generate?
- Generation draws from your plan generation quota. Paid plans include a large monthly allowance, and you can see your remaining quota at any time.
- What languages can generated forms be in?
- Forms can be generated and then translated automatically into every supported language, so one prompt can serve a multilingual audience.
