Step-by-step: How to create a Google Form using ChatGPT 

Google Forms doesn’t have a direct way to use ChatGPT for form creation, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. There’s one workaround you can try, and that’s to create a Google Apps Script.

You can generate a custom Google Apps Script — essentially a block of code that tells Google how to build your form — in ChatGPT. If you’ve never created a Google Apps Script or worked with code, this method might seem daunting. However, these step-by-step instructions will help you get the results you need.

How to create a Google Form in ChatGPT with a Google Apps Script

1. Open ChatGPT. 
2. Prompt ChatGPT to provide you with questions for your Google Form. For the best results, be as specific as possible. 

An example prompt is “Create a Google Form for an employee feedback survey about the latest town hall meeting. Include 5–10 questions of various types.” 

ChatGPT will then generate the form content for you. Ask ChatGPT to edit the form content until it works for your needs.

3. Next, prompt ChatGPT to turn the form content into a Google Apps Script that tells Google how to create your Google Form. ChatGPT will provide you with a block of code. Click Copy code.

4. Go to Google Forms and open a blank form. 
5. Click the vertical three dot icon and select Apps Script.

6. Paste the code from ChatGPT into the script. 
7. Click Save. Then click Run. 



Google Apps Script may request permissions to complete the action. Provide the necessary authorization. 

It’ll then create your Google Form, which you can find in your Google Drive. 

8. Review the Google Form and make any edits as necessary. 

Limitations of creating a Google Form in ChatGPT with a Google Apps Script 

While this workaround can help you create a Google Form with ChatGPT, it’s not a native solution — and that means there are plenty of opportunities for something to go wrong:

• ChatGPT may inadvertently include an error in the code
• The Google Apps Script may not work without some troubleshooting
• You may receive permission or authorization errors when trying to run the Google Apps Script
• If your form is long, the script may exceed its execution time limits

If you’re not technically savvy, any of these failures could be hard to overcome, especially if you don’t have a developer on your team to turn to for help. Thankfully, there is a better way.
