02Could AI build it for you?

The core job: Create form schema/editor, render public forms, store responses, export CSV, and send webhook/email notifications.

What a working version needs:

  • hosted backend
  • database
  • form renderer
  • file upload storage if needed
  • email/webhook service

One of the cleanest yes products; enough prior art to be actionable.

03What you'd give up

  • beautiful editor
  • unlimited free usage
  • partial submissions
  • custom domains
  • integrations
  • team workspaces
  • anti-spam

They pay for low-friction forms, branding removal, and integrations.
