Building forms used to mean writing HTML by hand, choosing field types, wiring up validation, and styling everything from scratch. Even with form builders, you still had to drag and drop each field, configure labels, and tweak layouts. It worked, but it was slow.
Rowen's AI Form Generator flips that process. Instead of building forms field by field, you describe what you want in plain English and the AI generates a complete, production-ready form for you. This tutorial walks you through exactly how to use it.
How It Works
The AI Form Generator lives inside your Rowen dashboard. When you click "+ New Form", you will see two options: build manually or describe your form with AI. Choose the AI option and you will get a text box where you type a natural language description of the form you need.
The AI reads your description, figures out the right fields, validation rules, and layout, and generates a working form in seconds. You can then customize it further, change the framework output, or deploy it as-is.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1 — Describe Your Form
Open the AI Form Generator and type a description. Be as specific or as vague as you want. Here are some example prompts and what they generate:
- "A contact form with name, email, and message" — Generates a three-field form with proper input types, placeholder text, and required validation on all fields.
- "Event registration form with name, email, phone, number of guests, and dietary preferences dropdown" — Generates a five-field form with a text input, email input, phone input, number input, and a select dropdown with common dietary options pre-filled.
- "Feedback form with a 1-5 star rating, a text area for comments, and an optional file upload for screenshots" — Generates a form with a radio group for ratings, a textarea, and a file input with appropriate accept attributes.
- "Job application form with resume upload, cover letter, LinkedIn URL, years of experience, and preferred start date" — Generates a comprehensive form with file upload, textarea, URL input, number input, and date picker.
Step 2 — Pick Your Framework
After the AI generates your form, choose your output format. Rowen supports:
- Plain HTML — Copy-paste into any static site.
- React / Next.js — A ready-to-use component with state management and submit handler.
- Vue — A single-file component with v-model bindings.
- Tailwind-styled — Any of the above with Tailwind CSS classes pre-applied.
The generated code already includes the Rowen endpoint URL, honeypot spam protection, and proper form attributes. You do not need to configure anything manually.
Step 3 — Iterate and Customize
The AI gets it right most of the time, but you can always refine. Some ways to iterate:
- Type a follow-up like "Add a phone number field after email" and the AI updates the form.
- Say "Make the message field optional" and the AI removes the required attribute.
- Ask "Add placeholder text that sounds friendly" and the AI rewrites all placeholders in a conversational tone.
Each iteration preserves your previous changes. The AI does not regenerate from scratch — it modifies the existing form.
Example: Building a Complete Booking Form
Let us walk through a real example. Suppose you run a photography studio and need a booking form.
Prompt: "Photography studio booking form. I need the client's name, email, phone, preferred date, type of shoot (portrait, wedding, product, event), number of hours, and any special requests."
The AI generates a form with seven fields: text input for name, email input, phone input with tel type, date picker, a select dropdown with the four shoot types, a number input for hours (with min/max), and a textarea for special requests. All fields have sensible labels, placeholders, and validation.
From prompt to working form: about 10 seconds.
Tips for Better Prompts
- Be specific about field types — saying "dropdown" or "radio buttons" tells the AI exactly what UI element to use.
- Mention validation requirements — "email must be required" or "phone is optional" helps the AI set correct attributes.
- Describe the use case — context like "for a restaurant" or "for a SaaS waitlist" helps the AI choose appropriate field names and placeholders.
- Ask for styling — add "with Tailwind styling" or "minimal design" to get styled output.
What You Can Build
The AI Form Generator is not limited to contact forms. Here are some forms people have built:
- Customer feedback surveys
- Restaurant reservation forms
- Freelancer inquiry forms
- Newsletter signup with preferences
- Bug report forms for software projects
- Course enrollment forms for online classes
- Vendor application forms for marketplaces
