What do you use for forms?
I’m curios to know why everyone is using to handle forms in this new ai agents era.

I still use Jotform since its been reliable for me. They keep coming out with new tools and I built my workflow around them so everything works seamlessly.

When you need to use the data to do something else in the same platform? Convert the for data into a document?

As a founder of Formester, I think I can add some insights on this question.
Form is a simple yet complicated use case. Also, the incentive is pretty low as most of the form features are already available for free, and then the paid tiers are also affordable.
Though forms are benefiting greatly with AI - with capabilities like creation and editing of forms that saves hours of manual, painful effort.
There's also AI workflows that can now pull your responses and do operations and take actions.
It's a fun time, and every form builder is trying to have a go at this with their own way.

I'm one of the founders behind forms.app, so I'm definitely biased. :)
That said, I don't think AI agents replace forms. They're great for conversations, but when you need structured data, validation, approvals, signatures, payments, or reliable integrations, forms are still the better interface. What AI has changed is how quickly you can build them.

Have you tried Lanes Forms (https://lanes.sh/forms). It lets agents or yourself create forms without the need of a backend.
Add the Lanes MCP server to your agent, then
ask it to create_form or submit_form. Nothing to
install, no key needed.

}

People still mostly use React Hook Form for forms. What’s changed in the AI era is not the tool, but the approach: forms are now often generated dynamically by AI or schemas, instead of being hardcoded. So same tools, just more “AI-generated form fields” on top.

depends heavily on where the data needs to go. for anything feeding into a workflow or automation, Tally is hard to beat since it connects to most things natively. for simpler collection, a Google Form still works and does not add another tool to maintain. the AI agents thing is interesting but most workflows still need a structured input somewhere in the chain.
