Meet stigmi Copilot — AI That Builds Forms With You

Building forms should not feel like filling out a spreadsheet. With stigmi Copilot, you get an AI assistant built right into the form editor that helps you create better forms, generates realistic test data in one click, and can even turn your form into a natural conversation for respondents.

Why we built Copilot into the form editor

Form builders have always been visual tools: drag, drop, configure, preview. But they leave you on your own when it comes to the hard parts — figuring out which question types work best for your use case, writing clear question text that respondents actually understand, and testing whether your form behaves the way you expect before you share it with real people.

stigmi Copilot changes that. It is an AI assistant that lives inside your form editor, available whenever you need guidance, test data, or a completely different way for respondents to interact with your form. No separate tools, no plugins, no API keys to configure. Just click the purple Copilot button in the editor and start working with it.

Copilot is powered entirely by free, open-source large language models — so it costs you nothing to use. It is available on all plans, including free accounts. We believe AI should make form building easier for everyone, not just teams with enterprise budgets.

Chat assistant: your form-building expert on call

The first thing Copilot does is answer your questions. Not generic AI answers — answers that understand stigmi's features and how to use them. Ask it anything about form building and it responds with practical, actionable advice.

Wondering which question type to use for collecting addresses? Ask Copilot. Not sure how to set up conditional logic so question 5 only appears when someone selects "Other" on question 3? Ask Copilot. Want to know the best way to structure a customer feedback form that actually gets completed? Ask Copilot.

Beyond answering how-to questions, Copilot can review your existing form and suggest improvements. It can spot issues like questions that are too long, confusing answer options, missing required fields, or a flow that might cause respondents to drop off halfway through. Think of it as having a form design expert sitting next to you while you work.

The chat assistant is contextual — it knows which form you are editing and what questions you have already added. So when it gives suggestions, they are specific to your form, not generic advice pulled from a knowledge base.

Simulate 100 responses: realistic test data in one click

Every form builder has faced this problem: you have built a form, it looks right in the editor, but you have no idea what the response data will actually look like until real people start filling it in. Will the analytics make sense? Does the CSV export look right? Are the response cards in the dashboard readable?

With Copilot's simulate feature, you can generate up to 100 realistic test responses for your form with a single click. The AI reads your form's questions and question types, then generates diverse, realistic answers that match what real respondents would submit.

For a name field, it generates real-sounding names from different backgrounds. For an email field, it creates properly formatted email addresses. Rating questions get a realistic distribution — not all 5s, but a natural spread with some 3s and 4s mixed in. Multiple choice questions get varied selections across the options. Address fields get plausible addresses. Long text answers get thoughtful, varied paragraph responses — not lorem ipsum.

This means you can preview your response dashboard, test your CSV export, check your analytics charts, and verify your conditional logic all before a single real person touches your form. When you are done testing, clear the simulated responses and activate your form with confidence.

Conversational mode: turn any form into an AI chatbot

stigmi already presents forms one question at a time, which is more engaging than a traditional wall of fields. Conversational mode takes this a step further. Instead of clicking through questions sequentially, respondents simply chat with an AI that guides them through the form naturally.

The respondent types in natural language — "I'm John, my email is john@example.com, and I'd rate the service a 4 out of 5" — and the AI extracts structured answers from the conversation. It maps each piece of information to the correct question in your form, asks follow-up questions for anything that is missing, and validates responses in real time.

The result is a form that feels like texting a helpful assistant rather than filling out a bureaucratic document. Respondents can answer multiple questions in a single message, go back and correct previous answers naturally, and skip ahead if they want. The AI handles all the complexity of routing and validation behind the scenes.

For form creators, the best part is that you do not need to change anything about your form. The same questions, the same logic rules, the same endings — everything works as before. Conversational mode is just a different interface for respondents who prefer chatting over clicking. All the collected data ends up in the same structured format in your response dashboard.

How it works: open-source AI, zero cost

stigmi Copilot is powered by free, open-source large language models accessed through OpenRouter. We use models like Llama, Gemma, and other open-source models that deliver strong performance for form-building tasks without requiring expensive API subscriptions.

By choosing open-source models, we keep Copilot free for all users — no premium tier required, no per-query charges, no usage limits. You can chat with the assistant as much as you need, simulate responses as often as you want, and enable conversational mode on any form without worrying about costs.

The models are specifically prompted with knowledge about stigmi's 23 question types, form settings, logic rules, endings, analytics, and other features. This means Copilot gives you answers that are relevant to what you can actually do in stigmi, not generic AI-generated content about form building in general.

Use cases for Copilot

Testing forms before launch. You have built a 25-question customer onboarding form with conditional logic that branches based on industry type. Before sending it to 500 new customers, use Copilot to simulate 100 responses and verify that every branch works correctly, the data looks clean in exports, and the analytics dashboard tells the story you expect.

Training your team on form features. A new team member needs to learn how stigmi works. Instead of reading documentation or watching tutorials, they open the editor and ask Copilot: "How do I add a file upload question?" or "What is the difference between a dropdown and a multiple choice question?" They learn by doing, with an expert assistant available at all times.

Making forms accessible to non-tech respondents. Your respondents include people who are not comfortable with traditional web forms — perhaps older adults, people with limited digital literacy, or users who find clicking through structured forms tedious. Conversational mode lets them interact with your form the same way they would chat with a person on WhatsApp. They type naturally and the AI takes care of the rest.

Improving form completion rates. If you notice high drop-off rates on your forms, ask Copilot to review your form and suggest improvements. It might recommend reordering questions, simplifying wording, or splitting a long form into sections. Then simulate responses to test the improved version before rolling it out.
