You have a document. You need a Google Form. The document might be a Word file, a PDF, an Excel spreadsheet, a CSV, or a Google Doc. It does not matter. Pirai AI converts any of them into a Google Form automatically — no add-on, no intermediate Google Docs step, no coding.
Why Most Tools Only Work with Google Docs
Most document-to-Google-Forms tools work by reading a Google Doc link. That means if your document is in Word, PDF, or Excel, you first have to manually copy everything into a Google Doc, make it publicly shareable, and then paste the link into the tool. That is the hidden extra step most tools do not mention upfront.
Pirai AI accepts direct file uploads. Upload your Word document, PDF, or Excel file and get a Google Apps Script back. No Google Docs step. No sharing permissions. No account required at the upload stage.

How to Convert Any Document to Google Forms
- 1Upload your document to Pirai AIGo to platform.piraiai.com and upload your file. Word, PDF, Excel, CSV, TXT, XML — all accepted. Or paste your content directly. No Google account needed at this stage.
- 2Select Google FormsChoose Google Forms as the output. Pirai AI reads your document structure and generates a .txt file containing a complete Google Apps Script with all questions and answer options pre-populated.
- 3Download, paste, and runDownload the .txt file. Open a blank Google Form at forms.google.com. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select Apps Script. Delete the default code, paste your script, click Save, then Run. Grant the one-time permission. Your form is built automatically.
How the Apps Script works
Google Apps Script is a built-in JavaScript platform that can create Google Form questions programmatically. Pirai AI writes the script for you — you only paste and run it. The script runs inside your own Google account and only accesses the specific form it was launched from. No data leaves your Google account.
