The Solution

AI-native form builder where creators describe what data they need in natural language, and AI creates conversational interfaces that adapt in real-time to collect that information naturally.

Why Now?

Conversational AI is now good enough to handle complex data collection flows. People are comfortable with chatbot interfaces from ChatGPT adoption.
