Describe the form
Specify questions, choices, required fields, skip logic, and constraints in plain English.
AI XLSForm generator
Your questionnaire is ready. Your XLSForm isn’t.
Turning questionnaire intent into a reliable XLSForm is slow and technical. LooprAI starts with plain English or a supported PDF, DOCX, or XLSX file, then builds an editable workbook you can inspect, revise, validate, preview, download, or publish after human review. Start free without a credit card.

Try a prompt like
“Create a household survey with consent, household size, and a required follow-up for households with children.”
Create or import → validate → preview → export
No credit card required.
Two ways to begin
Start with an idea or the questionnaire you already have.
Use the Loopr AI workflow to start from instructions or an existing questionnaire.
Import a questionnaire
Upload PDF, DOCX, questionnaire XLSX, or an existing XLSForm XLSX.

Review
Inspect and edit the generated workbook.
- 03
Check
Run ODK validation, preview the form, and resolve issues.
- 04
Use
Download XLSX or publish to a SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK server.
Control after generation
The workbook stays visible and editable.
LooprAI edits a real XLSForm workbook instead of returning a block of text to copy and debug.
LooprAI checks forms against ODK rules, but survey teams remain responsible for reviewing logic, wording, translations, and field behavior.
- Edit cells directly or request changes in plain English.
- Check the form against ODK rules and attempt guided repairs.
- Preview the mobile form flow before fieldwork.
- Add and check machine-translated survey text in 27 supported languages.
- Review conversation history and undo LooprAI changes.
- Download XLSX, or publish to a SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK Central server.

Know what the workflow checks—and what your team still decides.
- Supported production imports are PDF, DOCX, and XLSX.
- AI-generated logic, translations, and imported structure require human review.
- Validation finds ODK-rule problems; it does not prove methodological quality or field readiness.
- Direct publishing targets SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK Central; use XLSX download elsewhere.
LooprAI questions, answered directly.
What is LooprAI?
LooprAI is SurveyLoopr's AI XLSForm generator. It turns plain-English instructions or supported questionnaire files into an editable XLSForm workbook. You can review cells, check ODK validation, preview the form, download XLSX, or publish to a SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK Central server.

How does an AI XLSForm generator work?
Describe the survey or import a PDF, DOCX, or XLSX questionnaire. LooprAI creates or edits the workbook, then you review its question types, choices, logic, constraints, and wording before validating, previewing, downloading, or publishing the form.
Verified July 17, 2026
Is LooprAI free to use?
Yes. The free workspace costs $0 and requires no credit card. It includes one project, one active form, one DataSnap report, LooprAI fair usage, and a preview that imports the first 12 questions from a supported document.
Verified July 17, 2026
What is included in the free workspace?
The free workspace includes one project, one active form, one DataSnap report, and LooprAI with fair usage. You can delete and replace those resources. Supported document imports preview the first 12 questions before a Pro upgrade is required.
Verified July 17, 2026
Which files can LooprAI import?
LooprAI's production import flow accepts PDF, DOCX, questionnaire XLSX, and existing XLSForm XLSX files. Legacy DOC and XLS files are not supported by the current parser. File structure varies, so review every imported question, choice, and logic rule.
Verified July 17, 2026
Can LooprAI convert a PDF questionnaire to XLSForm?
Yes. Upload a PDF questionnaire and LooprAI extracts its questions into an editable XLSForm workbook. PDF layouts vary, so verify question types, response choices, section boundaries, and skip instructions. The free plan imports a preview of the first 12 questions.
Verified July 17, 2026
Can LooprAI convert a Word questionnaire to XLSForm?
Yes, for DOCX files. LooprAI reads a DOCX questionnaire and builds an editable XLSForm from its detected structure. Legacy DOC files are not supported by the current parser. Review the generated questions, choices, logic, and required settings before use.
Verified July 17, 2026
Can I import and edit an existing XLSForm?
Yes. Upload an existing XLSForm XLSX file and continue editing the workbook directly or through LooprAI. The import flow distinguishes an existing XLSForm from a questionnaire spreadsheet. Validate and preview the resulting form again before publishing it.
Verified July 17, 2026
Does LooprAI validate XLSForms?
LooprAI can check a workbook against ODK rules and surface validation problems before publishing. Validation helps find syntax and reference errors, but it does not prove that survey methodology, wording, translations, or the enumerator experience are correct.
Verified July 17, 2026
Can LooprAI repair XLSForm errors?
LooprAI can attempt guided repairs for validation errors and then check the workbook again. Repair is not guaranteed, especially for ambiguous survey logic or methodological problems. Review every change and test the final form with representative submissions before fieldwork.
Verified July 17, 2026
Can I edit an AI-generated XLSForm manually?
Yes. LooprAI edits a real workbook, so you can change cells directly and continue requesting AI revisions. Conversation history and workbook revisions help you review or undo LooprAI changes. Manual review remains part of the intended workflow.
Verified July 17, 2026
How many languages does LooprAI support?
LooprAI currently supports machine translation for 27 named languages across selected survey text columns, including labels, hints, guidance, and messages. The flow does not translate every choice-sheet label. A fluent reviewer should check meaning, terminology, and local appropriateness before fieldwork.
Verified July 17, 2026
Does the downloaded XLSForm work outside SurveyLoopr?
Yes. LooprAI downloads the workbook as a standard XLSX XLSForm for manual upload to compatible platforms. Test the downloaded file on the target platform because platform behavior and supported XLSForm features can differ. Direct one-click publishing is limited to SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK Central servers.
Verified July 17, 2026
Can LooprAI publish directly to ODK Central?
Direct publishing is available to a SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK Central server owned by the user. For other ODK Central or KoboToolbox instances, download the XLSX file and upload it manually. LooprAI does not publish directly to arbitrary external servers.
Verified July 17, 2026
Do I need a paid ODK server to build an XLSForm?
No. You can create, edit, validate, preview, and download an XLSForm in the free workspace without buying a hosted server. A SurveyLoopr-hosted ODK Central plan is only required when you want the workspace's direct publishing workflow.
