Customer intake forms are critical for gathering consistent, actionable information — whether you’re onboarding new clients, qualifying leads, or collecting project details. But building and managing these forms manually can be time-consuming and error-prone.
Here’s how to use AI to design, generate, and manage intake forms faster — and smarter.
Step 1: Use AI to Draft the Intake Questions
Start by telling your AI assistant who your customer is and what kind of information you need to collect. Example prompt:
“I run a digital marketing agency. Help me create a client intake form to gather info like business goals, target audience, current channels, and budget.”
The AI will generate a list of questions tailored to your business. You can refine tone (formal vs. casual), depth (simple vs. detailed), and purpose (discovery call vs. onboarding).
Bonus: Ask it to sort questions into categories (e.g., "Company Info", "Marketing Goals", etc.) — this keeps your form organized.
Step 2: Convert to Form Format
Once you’re happy with the questions, ask the AI to convert them into a format ready for Google Forms, Typeform, or any form builder. Example prompt:
“Convert this list into a Google Forms format with question types (short answer, multiple choice, etc.) and suggested helper text.”
Copy-paste this into your form builder and you’re 90% done.
Step 3: Automate Routing & Responses
Now that the form is ready, you can:
- Use Zapier or Make to auto-route form responses to Slack, email, or a CRM.
- Use AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) to summarize each intake and suggest next steps.
- Store responses in a database or Google Sheet and trigger alerts for high-priority leads.
Pro Tip: Ask AI to write the Zapier logic for you.
🧩 Optional: Add AI to the Form Itself
Want the form to feel more like a conversation?
- Use tools like Tally.so + GPT, or Custom GPTs embedded on your site.
- These can react dynamically — e.g., ask follow-ups based on previous answers.
This makes the experience smoother for the customer and gives you better data.
🔁 Final Touch: Feedback Loop
Ask AI to help you improve your form over time:
“Analyze 50 form responses and recommend how to improve the intake experience.”
It can spot confusing questions, gaps, or repetition — and help you refine your process without digging through every submission manually.
🚀 Why This Matters
You don’t need a developer or a SaaS subscription to make better forms.
You need:
- Clear goals,
- A smart prompt,
- A few free tools (Forms, Sheets, Zapier),
- And 30 minutes with an AI assistant.
Small effort, big impact.
