Researchers and educators often store survey questions in Excel spreadsheets or CSV files: question banks, codebooks, assessment specs. No competitor currently covers how to get these into Google Forms automatically. Pirai AI does.
Why Excel and CSV to Google Forms Is Different
Word documents and PDFs contain free-form text. Excel and CSV files contain structured tabular data: one column for question text, another for answer options, another for question type. Pirai AI reads this structure and maps each row to the correct Google Forms question type in the generated Apps Script.
