About

Type questions on a blank page and it becomes a working form, Notion‑style. Startups and creators use it to collect leads, files, signatures, and payments, with AI that can generate a full form from a short description. Unlike Typeform, the free tier includes unlimited forms and submissions.

Editor's Take

Worth trying if you need to prototype lead capture, client intake, or simple checkouts without code; best suited for startups and creators who want fast form drafts and generous free usage, while enterprises needing advanced compliance may need a different tool.

Key Features

Describe your form in plain English → get a complete draft generated by AI
Start typing in the editor → questions and input blocks appear like a document
Add conditional logic and calculators → show/hide fields and compute scores or prices
Pass ?utm_… or ?name=Lucy in the URL → prefill hidden fields and personalize prompts
Publish and share the link → capture unlimited submissions on the free plan

Use Cases

A startup marketer launching a product waitlist with conditional questions and a custom thank‑you redirect
A freelance designer collecting client briefs, files, and e‑signatures without coding a site
An indie creator selling a digital download via a simple checkout form with built‑in payments

Try It Like This

1
Launch a product waitlist with conditional flows
Sign up and create a new form → Describe the waitlist in plain English or type headers/questions; AI drafts the full form for you → Add conditional logic to show follow-ups (e.g., investor vs. early user) and set a custom thank-you redirect; publish the link and share.
2
Collect client briefs, files, and e-signatures
Start a blank form and type the sections you need (project summary, files, signature); editor auto-creates input blocks and file upload fields as you type → Add an e-signature block and required fields, then publish and send the link to clients—responses and files are captured without writing code.
3
Sell a digital download via a simple checkout
Describe a product checkout (price, name, receipt email) or type the fields directly to get a draft form with payment input → Configure the payment settings and a post-purchase redirect to the download URL, then publish the form and embed or share the link.
4
Prefill and personalize leads using URL parameters
Create a lead capture form and add hidden fields for utm_source/name → Use ?utm_source=twitter&name=Alex in shared links to prefill hidden fields and personalize follow-up prompts → Capture source data automatically for segmentation and analytics.
5
Build a scored quiz or price calculator
Type the quiz description or questions into the editor and let AI draft the form → Add calculators or scoring logic to compute results or price estimates based on answers, then publish and share the result link to collect scored responses.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Document‑style editor turns typed text into questions and input blocks in real time, making form creation fast and intuitive.
AI form generator creates a complete draft from a short plain‑English description, speeding initial setup for common use cases.

Cons

Key pro features such as custom domains require the paid plan (starts at $29/mo).
Advanced conditional logic can become complex to design and manage for intricate flows.
Less enterprise‑focused: features like HIPAA/compliance readiness are not a primary offering compared with enterprise tools.
