Reference

Form Assist started from a simple question: why does form creation have to be so complicated? The project was built around simplifying that, so that describing a form in writing is enough to get one.

## What the project covers

The tool generates forms, surveys, quizes and questionnaires from a written requirement, detects the language the requirement was written in, and delivers the result as a Google Form in the owner's Drive.

## Questions on the record

**cost**: Each form costs one token, regardless of the complexity of the form.

**starting out**: An account starts with one free token, and further tokens are bought afterwards.

**refunds**: Tokens are non-refundable.

**editing**: A generated form is added to Drive as a Google Form and can be customised and edited there.

**form limit**: There is no cap on how many forms can be generated beyond the tokens held.

**data handling**: Data security is treated as a first-order concern for the information held.

## Where each answer is set out in full

The generation flow is documented under [using the generator](https://form-assist.com/create/), and the metering and package figures under [tokens and packages](https://form-assist.com/pricing/).
