Input formats
Upload your survey in any format. Pirai AI generates an Apps Script that builds your Google Form automatically.
How it works
No add-on to install. No Drive permissions to grant. The Apps Script editor is built into every Google Form.
Go to platform.piraiai.com. Upload your file or paste text. Select Google Forms. Pirai AI generates a Google Apps Script .txt file with all your questions and answer options pre-populated. Download the file.
Open a blank Google Form at forms.google.com. Click the three-dot menu in the top right. Select Apps Script. The built-in code editor opens. Delete the default placeholder code. Paste your Pirai AI script.
Click Save (floppy disk icon). Click Run. Google shows a one-time permissions prompt : click Review permissions > Allow. The script runs, creates all your questions automatically, and your Google Form is complete.
The one-time permissions prompt is a standard Google safety check. The script only accesses the specific form you opened. It does not touch your Drive, Gmail, or any other Google service. Full explanation here.
