Upload Word, PDF, Excel, CSV, or QSF files. Pirai AI generates a Google Apps Script that builds your form automatically. No Workspace add-on. No Drive permissions. 3 clicks.
Input formats
Upload your survey in any format. Choose one-click export or Apps Script. Both methods produce the same Google Form.
How it works
Both methods start with the same upload. Your preference determines how the Google Form is delivered.
Sign in with Google. Pirai AI creates the form directly in your Drive and returns an edit link. No pasting, no running code.
Download a .txt script file. Paste it into the built-in Google Forms editor and run it. No Google sign-in with Pirai AI required.
Both methods produce the same Google Form with all questions, answer options, and matrix grids intact.
Go to platform.piraiai.com. Upload your file or paste text. Select Google Forms as the output.
Click Export to Google Forms. Sign in with Google if prompted.
Google shows a permission screen. Pirai AI requests drive.file scope (creates new forms only — no access to existing Drive files) and forms.body scope (adds questions to the form). You can revoke access at any time from your Google Account settings.
Pirai AI creates the form in your Google Drive and returns a direct edit link. All questions from your document are in place.
Go to platform.piraiai.com. Upload your file or paste text. Select Google Forms and choose Download Apps Script.

Pirai AI offers two methods. One-click: upload your document at platform.piraiai.com, select Google Forms, click Export to Google Forms, sign in with Google, grant scoped permission, and your form is created directly in your Drive with an edit link. Apps Script: upload your document, download the .txt script, open a blank Google Form, paste the script into the Apps Script editor, Save then Run.
One-click export uses Google OAuth — Pirai AI creates the form directly in your Drive using scoped drive.file and forms.body permissions, returning an edit link with no copy-paste step. Apps Script generates a .txt file you paste into the Google Forms editor and run yourself — no Drive permissions are granted to Pirai AI. Both produce an identical Google Form.
No. Neither method requires a Marketplace installation. The one-click method uses Google OAuth to create the form in your Drive directly. The Apps Script method uses Google's built-in Apps Script editor — accessible from the three-dot menu in any Google Form — and grants no permissions to Pirai AI.
One-click: Pirai AI requests drive.file scope (access only to files it creates — not existing Drive content) and forms.body scope (to add questions via the Google Forms API). You can revoke access at any time from your Google Account settings. Apps Script: the one-time 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. After clicking Allow, the script runs once and ends.
All 8 Google Forms question types: Multiple Choice, Checkboxes, Short Answer, Paragraph, Dropdown, Multiple Choice Grid, Checkbox Grid, and form title and description from Descriptive Blocks. Matrix grids are supported : most Workspace add-ons fail on grid questions.
Automagical Forms and Doc2Form are Workspace Marketplace add-ons requiring installation and ongoing Drive access. FormsWrite is a dedicated Google Forms converter that requires full Google account access. Pirai AI offers two methods: Apps Script (no Drive permissions granted to Pirai AI at all) and one-click OAuth (scoped drive.file only — new forms, no existing files). Both methods have no question limits, handle matrix grids, and convert to 26 other platforms from the same upload.
