On this page

Every way to start a form begins at the same place: What would you like to create? It's at the top of Home, and Create form in the sidebar opens it anywhere in the app.

FormsAI Home with the What would you like to create box, the Build, Share and Learn shortcuts and recent forms
Home: describe a form for Filo, or start from scratch or a template.

Four ways to start

OptionWhat you get
Start from scratchA new form with a welcome screen, a short text question, an email question and an ending, ready to edit.
Browse templatesOne of 48 ready-made forms with its questions, logic, photos and theme. See templates.
Describe it (Pro)Type what the form is for, or attach a photo of a paper form, and Filo builds it. See build a form with AI.
Import a form fileA .json file exported from another FormsAI form. See export and import.

Add your questions

  1. In the builder's Build tab, select the + under a screen on the canvas, or press /.
  2. Pick a question type, or type to filter the list (for example “email”).
  3. Click the question's title on the canvas and type your question. Press Enter or click away to finish.
  4. Use the panel on the right for the question's settings: Required, choices, limits and more.

Publish and share

When it looks right, select Preview (⌘P) to try it, then Publish. FormsAI gives your form a public link like app.formsai.dev/f/your-form. Copy it from the toast, or go to the Share tab for embeds and QR codes.

Home keeps a short checklist (create a form, publish it, collect a response) until you've done all three.
