Google Forms is the latest Google app to get the Gemini treatment - joining Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet. The new "Help me create a form" feature powered by Gemini would help users think of questions and options when creating a new form.

How it works

While creating a new form, there is a field saying, "Help me create a form" in which the user would input a prompt. For example, Gemini would build a form description, questions, and options. The user can even ask Gemini to "Retry" before inserting the generated content.

Examples and use cases

The feature can be used to create a range of form types, including but not limited to:

Event RSVP forms
Data collection forms related to research
Post-event surveys
Student quizzes

For forms more complex in nature, such as event planning with accommodations preference and food requirements, the information can also be indicated by the users in the prompt.

Limitations and availability of ‘Help me create a form’

The feature is currently being tested in Workspace Labs on the web and has some limitations. It cannot be used to create forms with multiple sections, update quiz settings, or edit existing forms.
