# Creating Forms

> Start a new form in FormHug using AI, a template, a blank canvas, or an Excel import

FormHug gives you four ways to create a form — from a one-sentence description using AI to a blank canvas for full control.

Start from the <a href="https://formhug.ai/ai-form-builder" target="_blank">AI form builder</a>, browse the <a href="https://formhug.ai/templates" target="_blank">template library</a>, or choose a specialized builder such as <a href="https://formhug.ai/survey-maker" target="_blank">survey maker</a>, <a href="https://formhug.ai/quiz-maker" target="_blank">quiz maker</a>, or <a href="https://formhug.ai/booking-form" target="_blank">booking form builder</a>.

If you're choosing between AI, templates, and a blank form, <a href="https://formhug.ai/blog/best-ai-form-builder-2026" target="_blank">best AI form builder 2026</a> and <a href="https://formhug.ai/blog/best-form-templates-for-businesses" target="_blank">best form templates for businesses</a> give the broader decision context.

## Creation Methods

| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |

## Form Types

When creating a form, you select a **scenario** that shapes how the form works and what features are available:

## Using AI Builder

Type a short description of your form and **Evan**, FormHug's AI agent, builds the structure, suggests fields, and can generate a header image. You can refine the result in the form builder or publish it as-is.
