When to choose FluidForms
When you need more than just questions, you need a conversation
Typeform is excellent for making forms feel conversational. FluidForms makes them act conversational. Our AI interview agent doesn't just follow a pre-set path; it understands responses and asks intelligent, unscripted follow-up questions to get the full story, just like a human would.
This is critical for complex processes like client intake or service diagnostics where you don't know what you don't know.
When a form needs to do something
Collecting data is only half the battle. FluidForms is built to intelligently act on that data with AI inputs to webhooks, email notifications, and seamless connections to Zapier, Make, and n8n. Automatically post to Slack, sync to your CRM, update spreadsheets, or trigger entire workflows—all from a single form submission.
Typeform collects the data; FluidForms puts it to work across your entire tech stack.
When you need to understand documents, not just store them
Typeform acts as a digital filing cabinet—it just stores what users upload. FluidForms acts as an intelligent clerk. It reads, analyzes, and extracts data from documents instantly.
Whether it's extracting data from invoices, validating ID cards, or summarizing resumes, FluidForms turns unstructured files into structured data you can actually use.
The fundamental difference
Typeform forces you to predict every path. FluidForms lets AI handle the edge cases.
When you need more than a beautiful form—when you need a form that thinks—FluidForms is the power tool for complex intake.
