How every part of Papias works.
Short pages, with pictures of the real thing. If one doesn't answer your question, ask us and we'll answer, and fix the page.
Getting started
- Make your first form
Type the questions as you would ask them, open the form, share the link.
- Every kind of question
What each kind asks for, what it checks, and what it stores.
- Draft a form with AI, change it in words
Describe the form in a sentence; then say what to change.
- Turn a paper form into a Papias form
Photograph the paper form with your phone, or scan it, and the builder reads it into questions you can edit.
- Accounts, signing in, building without one
Build first, sign up when you open the form; email or Google.
Building a form
- Conversational forms: answers by chatting
People answer the form in a chat instead of boxes: your questions in your words, every answer checked.
- Show a question only if…
Conditions on questions, and which kinds they can look at.
- Pages, and one question at a time
Split a long form into pages, or show one question per screen.
- Repeating groups
A set of questions asked once per attendee, child or item.
- Prices on options, totals and calculations
A number behind each option, a Calculation that adds up as people type.
- Different endings, and what happens after sending
A message or a redirect, and different ones for different answers.
- Use earlier answers in the wording
A question, help text or ending that repeats what the person said.
- Colours, fonts, cover, logo, backgrounds and pictures
Make the form look like yours.
- Closing, limits, passwords, country and language
The rest of the Settings tab.
Responses
Sending responses on
Your account and plan

What the Ask Nell button can do and cannot do, on the site and when you are signed in.
- Spam, privacy and where things are kept
How bots are caught without a CAPTCHA, what we store and where.
