Add context when you already have source material, such as a report, a training document, or an article. FormAI uses it to draft your questions. You add context in the Create a new form dialog, next to the topic field. There are two sources.

Add context from the Create a new form dialog, using a PDF or a web page.

​
Draft from a PDF or web page

1

Open the New form dialog

On the Dashboard, click New form, then choose Survey, Quiz, or Live and a workspace.
2

Describe your form

Enter a topic in the field marked “Draft your survey topic”. The field is marked as required, so describe what you want to ask even when you add context.
3

Open the Add context menu

Click Add context. The menu is titled “ADD CONTEXT FROM” and lists PDF document and Web page.
4

Choose a source

  • For a PDF document, upload your PDF.
  • For a Web page, paste the page’s URL.
5

Choose a question count and generate

Pick a size from the question count menu, then click Generate. The editor opens with your draft. See Generate with AI for what to expect.

Tips

If your source covers many subjects, try mentioning in the topic field which part you want questions about, along with your audience and goal.
  • Treat the result as a first draft. Compare the questions with your source and edit anything that is off.
  • Only use documents and pages you are allowed to use. For how FormAI handles your data, see Security and privacy.
AI can make mistakes. Review the generated questions before you publish. Generating from context uses AI credits like any other generation. See Plans and AI credits.
