How It Works

FastForms uses Groq’s LLaMA 3.3 70B model to generate form schemas from your text descriptions. The AI understands your requirements and creates appropriate field types, validations, and options.

1. Describe Your Form

   Tell FastForms what kind of form you need in plain English. For example: “Contact form with name, email, and message”

2. AI Generates Schema

   Our AI analyzes your description and creates a complete form schema with appropriate field types (text, email, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, number, date)

3. Preview & Publish

   Review your generated form in preview mode, then publish it to get a shareable link

4. Collect Responses

   Share your form link and start collecting responses. View submissions in your dashboard or export to CSV

Key Features

AI-Powered Form Generation

FastForms leverages Groq’s LLaMA model to intelligently generate form schemas. The AI determines:

• Field types based on your description (email fields for email, textarea for messages, etc.)
• Validation rules (required fields, min/max values for numbers)
• Field options for select dropdowns, radio buttons, and checkboxes
• Placeholder text to guide form users

AI Form Generation

import Groq from "groq-sdk";

const groq = new Groq({ apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY });

const completion = await groq.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [
    { role: "system", content: systemPrompt },
    { role: "user", content: userPrompt }
  ],
  model: "llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
  temperature: 0.7,
  max_tokens: 2000,
  response_format: { type: 'json_object' }
});

Response Collection & Management

Every form you create automatically gets:

• Unique shareable URL (/f/{slug}) for public access
• Response dashboard to view all submissions
• Response count displayed on your dashboard
• Timestamp tracking for each submission

Forms must be published before they can accept responses. Unpublished forms are only visible in preview mode.

Data Export

Export all form responses to CSV format with a single click. The export includes:

• All field values from each submission
• Submission timestamps
• Properly formatted headers based on field IDs

Export Endpoint

// GET /api/forms/{id}/export?format=csv
const response = await axios.get(`/api/forms/${formId}/export`);
const blob = new Blob([response.data], { type: "text/csv" });

User Dashboard

Your personal dashboard shows:

• All forms you’ve created
• Response count for each form
• Creation dates
• Quick access to form responses
• Form deletion (with cascade delete of all responses)

Deleting a form permanently removes all associated responses. This action cannot be undone.

Supported Field Types

FastForms supports a comprehensive set of field types:

Field Type	Use Case	Example
text	Short text input	Name, address, job title
email	Email addresses with validation	Contact email
textarea	Long-form text	Messages, descriptions, feedback
number	Numeric input with validation	Age, quantity, price
date	Date selection	Birth date, appointment date
select	Single choice from dropdown	Country, category
radio	Single choice from visible options	Yes/No, size selection
checkbox	Multiple selections	Interests, preferences
file	File upload (validated, UI pending)	Resume, documents, images

While all 9 field types are supported in the validation schema, date and file types are not yet fully implemented in the UI and will display as “Unsupported field type” in forms.
