Editing a data collection form usually means several steps: opening the XLSForm, adjusting the skip logic, validating the changes, and uploading a new version. For teams running active field programs, even a small adjustment adds friction — and time.
IASO now includes an AI form generator built directly into the platform, designed to remove that friction while keeping teams fully in control of their forms.
Instead of manually editing spreadsheet logic, users can now describe what they need in plain language. Whether starting from scratch or updating an existing form, the AI-powered tool interprets the request and produces a ready-to-deploy result directly inside the form editor.
This applies to common but time-consuming changes: adding a question, adjusting a skip logic rule, or restructuring a section of a survey. In addition to regular LLM’s, we added a preview function that allows users to make sure what they are about to change matches their needs before validating. What previously required editing and re-uploading a file can now be handled through a natural language input, without leaving IASO.
Speed does not come at the expense of control. Every update generated through the tool is automatically versioned. If a change does not fit a field program’s needs, teams can roll back to a previous version of the form at any time.
This form versioning mechanism means the AI generator acts as an accelerator for survey design, not a replacement for oversight. Field teams retain the same level of control over their mobile data collection tools as with manual editing, with less time spent on repetitive tasks.
For organizations running digital data collection across multiple sites, form iteration is frequent: indicators evolve, new questions are needed, existing ones require refinement. The AI form generator is built for exactly this kind of ongoing form update work, helping teams maintain data quality without slowing down form deployment in the field.
