Weavely is a Free AI-based Plugin that enables you to Design and Publish forms in Figma. All that you need to do is develop your survey or form in Figma and the plugin will convert it into a functional web form easily and quickly. You can then launch the working forms directly from your Figma designs in just a few seconds and collect responses by sharing a link or embedding the form into an existing website or app.
Weavely offers several elements to create the form thus allowing you enhance your creativity and improve its reach as far as possible. Presently Weavely provides two options to create and deploy the form namely, Prompt based and Manual.
Prompt-based form creation: This method uses GPT integration and generates the form templates based on your text prompt. Just provide a simple natural language description of the form and the plugin will create it with all the required form elements and the corresponding content. This can be later customized later based on your requirements.
Manual form creation: If you already have a design for the form, you can go ahead and use it but you must remember that you may need to configure and style the form elements manually.
Once the form is ready you can instantly publish it and start gathering unlimited responses from the visitors.
