• Account: Logged into FormRobin
• Plan: Free plan (2 AI generations/month) or Individual plan (50 AI generations/month)

How AI Form Generation Works

FormRobin uses OpenAI to interpret your natural language description and automatically create forms with the most appropriate field types. Simply describe your form purpose, and AI handles the structure, field types, labels, and validation rules.

How to Generate a Form with AI

1. From your Dashboard, click New form
2. Enter a Form Name (required)
3. Optional: Select a folder to organize your form
4. Click Create Form to access the form editor
5. Look for the AI Generation or Generate with AI option
6. Enter a detailed description of your form (up to 1000 characters)
7. Click Generate and wait a few seconds
8. Review the generated fields and customize as needed
9. Save your changes

Writing Effective AI Prompts

Get better results with clear, detailed descriptions:

Good Example:

"Create a customer feedback survey with fields for name, email, satisfaction rating (1-5), product quality rating, customer service rating, comments, and permission to contact them again."

Another Example:

"Build a job application form with applicant name, email, phone, resume upload, cover letter, years of experience, desired salary range, and availability date."

Tips for Best Results:

• Be specific about the field types you need (text, email, number, file upload, dropdown, etc.)
• Mention required vs optional fields
• Describe validation rules (e.g., "email must be valid", "phone number required")
• Include context about your form's purpose
• List the exact information you want to collect

AI-Generated Field Types

AI can create these field types automatically:

• Short Text - For names, titles, brief answers
• Long Text - For comments, descriptions, paragraphs
• Email - With built-in email validation
• Multiple Choice - Radio button selections
• Dropdown - Select lists with options
• Phone Number - Phone field with geolocation
• Number - Numeric inputs only
• URL - Website addresses with validation
• File Upload - For document/image attachments
• Date - Date picker fields
• Checkbox - Boolean yes/no options

Customizing AI-Generated Forms

After AI creates your form:

• Edit field labels and descriptions
• Add or remove fields
• Change field types
• Reorder fields by dragging
• Set fields as required or optional
• Add conditional logic rules
• Configure form settings

Troubleshooting

Issue: "You have reached your monthly AI generation limit"

Fix: Free plans get 2 generations/month. Wait until next month or upgrade to Individual plan for 50/month. Your quota resets on the 1st of each month.

Issue: "Rate limit exceeded"

Fix: You can generate up to 5 forms per minute. Wait 60 seconds and try again.

Issue: AI generated wrong field types

Fix: Edit your prompt to be more specific about field types needed. You can also manually edit field types after generation.

Issue: Prompt too long error

Fix: Maximum prompt length is 1000 characters. Shorten your description or remove unnecessary details.

FAQ

Q: Does AI generation count against my form limit?

A: No, both Free and Individual plans include unlimited forms. AI generation limits only affect how many times you can use the AI feature per month.

Q: Can I regenerate if I don't like the result?

A: Yes, but each generation uses one credit from your monthly quota. It's often faster to edit the generated form manually.

Q: When does my AI quota reset?

A: AI generation credits reset on the 1st day of each month at midnight UTC.

Q: Can I see how many AI generations I have left?

A: Check your account settings or plan page to view your remaining AI generation credits for the current month.
