> Intelligent forms that think, ask, and analyze for you.

Formfex is an AI-powered form builder that replaces static surveys with intelligent conversations and turns raw responses into instant, actionable insights.

## Core Product

### 1. AI Form Creation
Describe what you need to collect in plain language. Formfex generates a complete form — fields, validation rules, conditional logic — in seconds. No drag-and-drop, no manual setup.

### 2. Smart Forms (Conversational Intelligence)
Smart Forms are AI-driven conversations, not static questionnaires. Instead of showing every question upfront, each question adapts in real time based on previous answers. The AI digs deeper where it matters and skips what doesn't. Features include:
- Adaptive follow-up questions based on respondent answers
- Live micro insights surfaced during the conversation
- 15 language support (auto-detected from browser)
- Automatic post-session analysis (sentiment, completeness, actionable takeaways)

### 3. Smart Analytics
Every response is analyzed the moment it's submitted. Formfex finds patterns, flags anomalies, and writes plain-language summaries automatically. No one needs to open a spreadsheet.
- Pattern detection across all responses
- Anomaly flagging before anyone opens a dashboard
- AI-generated PDF insight reports

### 4. Ask Your Data
Formfex indexes all collected responses. Users can ask questions in plain language — like "What are the top complaints?" or "Which feature request appears most often?" — and get synthesized answers in seconds. Available on Pro and Max plans.
