Can AI make Google Forms?

In an era where chatbots write essays and algorithms drive cars, manually typing out survey questions one by one can feel tedious and outdated. Businesses already use AI to hold real-time conversations with customers, analyze performance metrics, and streamline complex workflows.

But if surveys and quizzes are central to your operations, the question remains: Can AI create Google Forms for you?

The answer is evolving. Google has recently integrated Gemini AI to help with form generation, though these features are often restricted to specific Workspace plans. This post will explore how to use Google Forms AI, clarify who can use it, and introduce a more robust alternative for automated form building.

How do you create Google Forms with Gemini AI?

If you use Google Forms, here’s how you can currently take advantage of its AI capabilities: 

  1. Create a form from a prompt or files — Use the built-in AI form generator to draft a new form instantly, either by entering a text description or by scanning existing Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or PDFs.
  2. Suggest new questions — Once you have added at least two questions, you can generate and insert relevant follow-up questions with a single click.
  3. Summarize responses — AI can analyze long open-text answers to automatically identify key themes and trends, saving you from having to read every individual response.

How do you make Google Forms without Gemini AI?

Google has started rolling out native Gemini AI features to Workspace users with specific plans. However, if you are using a free personal account or a standard business plan without the AI add-on, you won’t see those built-in tools.

Fortunately, you can still use AI to generate forms by installing third-party add-ons like GPT for Google Forms. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Install the add-on — Go to the Google Workspace Marketplace, enter GPT for Google Forms in the search bar, and click Install.
  2. Launch the tool — Open a new Google Form, click the Add-ons puzzle piece icon from the top menu, select GPT for Google Forms, and click Start.
  3. Create a quiz — Choose whether you want to enter a prompt, upload a file from Google Drive, or add a link to a YouTube video. Then click the Proceed button.
    • From a prompt: Type your topic, select the difficulty level and number of questions, and click Create Quiz.
    • From a file: Upload a doc or PDF from Google Drive, and the AI will scan the text to generate relevant questions.
    • From a video: Paste a YouTube link. The add-on will analyze the video captions to create a quiz based on the video’s content.
  4. Review and finalize — Review your generated quiz. If you want new questions, click the Regenerate Quiz button. To finalize the quiz, click the Add to Form button.

While these functions are useful, there are Google Forms alternatives that make creating AI-generated forms even easier by offering the same add-on functionality as an integrated feature.

Who can use AI for Google Forms?

At this time, native AI features in Google Forms are not available to standard free accounts. Access is restricted to users with a paid Google Workspace Business or Enterprise edition, Google Workspace for Education, or a personal Google One AI premium plan. Even with a license, you may not see these tools if your administrator hasn’t explicitly enabled them or if your language and region aren’t yet supported.

Pro Tip

If you don’t have access to Gemini, your best alternatives are downloading one of the third-party add-ons mentioned previously or — for those comfortable with code — using Google Apps Script to build custom automation yourself.

Frequently asked questions about Google Forms AI

No. Google’s native Gemini tools require a paid subscription, such as a Google Workspace Business or Google One AI premium plan. While many third-party add-ons offer a free tier, they often lock unlimited AI generation or advanced features behind a paywall.

If you have a paid Workspace account, your administrator must enable Smart features and personalization from the Google Admin console. Once enabled, you will see a sparkle icon labeled Help me create a form when you open a new blank form.

Yes, but not in all cases. Native Google Forms AI can reference Google Docs or PDFs stored in your Drive to generate questions. However, if you don’t have Gemini, you will need a third-party add-on to do this. Alternatively, Jotform allows you to upload a PDF directly and can instantly convert it into an editable digital form.

No. While Gemini can generate quiz questions and answer options, it does not currently create an answer key or assign point values. You must manually configure the correct answers and scoring settings after all your questions have been generated.

No. Google’s native AI builds linear questions but does not generate complex Go-to-section-based-on-answer logic. For advanced branching, you’ll need to set up paths manually or use a more robust form builder tool like Jotform.
