Quick Answer

How do I create a signature form with AI?

Go to formesign.com/forms-with-signature, enter a name such as Employee handbook acknowledgement form, and click Generate. Formesign suggests sections, fields, and signers. Click Make changes to adjust the outline, then Proceed to create the form.

You don't need a form to get started. Describe what it's for, and Formesign drafts one you can edit.

Generate the form

Enter a name

Open formesign.com/forms-with-signature, or choose Enter your form name from the chooser. Be specific: Equipment request with manager approval gets you closer than Request form.

1 Describe the form, then 2 click Generate.

Wait for the outline

The button changes to Please wait... while Formesign writes the form. This takes about 30 seconds.

Review the outline

The outline shows each section with its fields and a field count. Check that the questions fit your process and that the last section names the right signer.

1 The suggested sections, 2 Make changes to adjust them, and 3 Proceed to create the form.

Ask for changes

Click Make changes, or the pencil on a section, and say what you want in plain English. For example: Add a required delivery date. Remove the phone number. Ask for one or two changes at a time and check the result.

Create it

Click Proceed and Formesign opens the form in the editor, with the message Your signing link is ready. Discard throws the outline away instead.
