What you can do with Tally AI

Tally AI currently has four core capabilities, all accessible directly from a chat window in your form editor.

Build any form from a prompt

Describe the form you need in plain language and Tally AI generates a complete, ready-to-use form with the right questions, logic, formulas, field types, and structure. No templates needed, no starting from scratch.
  • "Build a waiting list form for my new app"
  • "Create a job application for a marketing manager"
  • "Make a customer satisfaction survey for my SaaS"
  • "Generate a fun Friday quiz for my team"
  • "Create a post-event feedback form with a 1–10 NPS rating and an open comment field"

Tips for better results
  • Got an existing form? Upload a screenshot or PDF and Tally AI will recreate it. Useful for digitizing paper forms or rebuilding forms from other tools.
  • Write a detailed prompt. The more context you give (form purpose, fields, target audience) the better the result. You can also ask ChatGPT or Claude to write a structured prompt for you or add extra documents with info. Supported document formats: .txt .md .csv .xml .rtf .json .html .css .js .ts .py .yaml .yml
Prompt example
Create a product knowledge quiz for new sales hires at a SaaS company.
Purpose: Test understanding of our core product features after onboarding. Should take no longer than 2 minutes to complete.
Structure:
  • Welcome page: "Let's see what you've learned! 10 quick questions."
  • 8 multiple choice questions, 2 true/false questions
  • Show correct/incorrect feedback after each answer
  • Only allow one attempt per person
Fields to include:
  • Full name (required)
  • Department (dropdown: Sales / Customer Success / Marketing)
  • Questions covering: pricing plans, key integrations, most common objections
End of form:
  • Show score out of 10
  • If score < 6: "We recommend reviewing the onboarding materials and retaking this quiz."
  • If score ≥ 6: "Great job! You're ready to start."
 

Edit and refine your form

Ask Tally AI to edit, restructure, or extend your form in plain language. Add or remove fields, translate your form, set up conditional logic, calculated fields, or answer piping, all without touching the editor manually.
  • "My conditional logic isn't hiding this field correctly, can you check it?"
  • "Add a calculation that multiplies quantity by price and shows the total"
  • "Show a different thank you message depending on the score"
  • "Use the respondent's name in the thank you message"
  • "Translate my form in French"
 

Apply your branding automatically

Share your website URL, a screenshot or upload your logo, and Tally AI matches the form's design to your brand. Colors, fonts, and style applied in one step. It can even write custom CSS for you.
 

Troubleshoot your form

Something in your form not working as expected? Describe the issue to Tally AI and it will inspect your form, explain what's going wrong, and fix it directly. No need to dig through logic rules or settings yourself.
  • "My conditional logic isn't hiding the right field"
  • "Respondents are getting an error when they try to submit"
  • "The calculation isn't giving the right total"
  • "The form is skipping a page it shouldn't"
  • "Why isn't my email notification sending?"
