You don't need to be a developer to create professional HTML forms. FormSubmit's AI Builder lets you describe the form you need in plain English, and it generates a complete, ready‑to‑use HTML code in seconds. No coding, no fiddling with HTML tags, no designing – just type and click.
This guide shows you how to use the AI Builder, the types of forms you can create, and how to integrate the generated form into your website.
Why use an AI form builder?
Traditional form builders require manual drag‑and‑drop or hand‑coding each field. The AI builder eliminates that effort. You simply describe what you want, and the AI understands your requirements, selects appropriate field types, and outputs a fully functional form. It's perfect for:
Non‑technical users who want a custom form without learning HTML.
Developers who want to save time on repetitive form coding.
Rapid prototyping and testing of different form layouts.
Creating complex forms with conditional logic (the AI can generate the base structure).
How to use the AI Builder
Go to formsubmit.cc and scroll down to the AI Form Builder section.
Ensure you've already entered your domain and notification email (the fields above).
In the “Describe your form” textarea, type a natural language description of the form you need. For example:
Create a customer support ticket form with fields for name, email, issue type (dropdown: billing, technical, general), priority (radio: low, medium, high), and a detailed message textarea.
Select one of the 10 visual styles (Simple Light, Dark Business, Rounded Cards, etc.).
Click Generate form.
Within seconds, the generated form appears in the preview iframe, and the HTML code is shown below.
Click Copy code and paste it into your website.
The AI understands various field types: text, email, tel, number, date, dropdown, radio, checkbox, textarea, and more. It also automatically adds required attributes where appropriate.
Examples of what you can create
Example 1: Event registration form
Create an event registration form with name, email, phone, ticket type (Early Bird, Regular, VIP), number of guests, and a dietary restrictions textarea.
The AI will generate fields for all those inputs, with appropriate validation and labels.
Example 2: Job application form
Build a job application form with full name, email, position dropdown (Developer, Designer, Manager), resume upload (note: file upload not supported yet – but the AI will add a text field), cover letter textarea, and a checkbox for agreeing to terms.
Note: File upload is currently not supported by FormSubmit, but the AI will create a text field where applicants can describe their resume link – you can manually replace it later if needed.
Example 3: Product feedback form
Create a product feedback form with name, email, rating (1-5 stars dropdown), a dropdown for feature request category, and an optional textarea for additional comments.
Example 4: Appointment booking form
Make an appointment booking form with full name, email, phone, preferred date (date picker), time slot dropdown (morning, afternoon, evening), and a message field.
Choosing a style
You can choose from 10 professionally designed CSS themes:
Simple Light – clean white card, subtle shadows.
Dark Business – elegant dark theme with purple accents.
Rounded Cards – large border radius, playful gradient borders.
Shadow – deep shadows for a premium look.
Minimal – borderless, airy design.
Gradient – vibrant gradient background.
Warm Orange – friendly peach/orange tones.
Cool Blue – icy blues, calm and professional.
Tech Dark – monospace, terminal vibe.
Classic – traditional, no‑fuss.
You can switch styles anytime – the AI will regenerate the form with the new styling without changing the fields.
Usage limits (free vs. Business)
Free users: 5 generations per IP per day. This is plenty for testing and occasional use.
Business users: Unlimited generations. Once you upgrade your email address, you can generate as many forms as you want.
If you exceed the daily limit, you'll see a friendly message prompting you to upgrade or wait until tomorrow.
How the AI works
The AI Builder is powered by DeepSeek's language model. Your description is sent securely to the API, which returns a pure HTML snippet (no
We do not store your descriptions or the generated forms – they are only processed in memory and returned to you.

Tips for getting the best results from the AI
Be specific – mention field types (text, email, dropdown, textarea) and any options.
Use plain English – the AI understands natural language, not code.
Keep it concise – very long descriptions may cause the AI to omit details.
Mention required fields – say “required” next to fields you want mandatory.
If you don't like the result, just regenerate – you can tweak your description and try again.
Integrating the generated form
Once you have the HTML code, you can paste it into any website – WordPress (Custom HTML block), static HTML, Shopify, React (with dangerouslySetInnerHTML), or even email templates (though email support is limited). The form will automatically submit to FormSubmit's API and forward submissions to your email.
You can also further customize the generated code – add your own CSS classes, change field names, or add additional JavaScript validation. The only requirement is to keep the hidden fields _domain and _to.
Limitations
The AI cannot generate file upload fields (not supported by FormSubmit).
Complex conditional logic (show/hide fields based on previous answers) is not currently supported by the AI, but you can manually add JavaScript.
Payment fields (Stripe/PayPal) are not generated – use our manual PayPal integration instead.
Frequently asked questions
❓ Can I edit the generated form after I copy it?
Absolutely. You have full HTML code. Modify anything.
❓ Does the AI store my descriptions?
No. We only send your description to DeepSeek temporarily; we don't keep logs.
❓ What languages does the AI understand?
English works best, but it can handle other languages and will generate English labels (consistent with FormSubmit's interface).
❓ Why did the AI not generate a field I asked for?
The AI might misinterpret a vague description. Try rephrasing or being more explicit about the field type.
