Usually, youd have to go to your Google Forms account and manually curate
each question and decide the forms flow, which can take a lot of time time you may not have when youre trying to run a business. However, as long as you know what you want from your survey, all you really need is to enter a simple prompt into Gemini to create the form for you.

Step 1: Go to Google Forms and choose Blank Form. On the Gemini pop-up that appears, choose a pre-designed template or enter a custom prompt. Lets select the latter.

survey of my new coffee-flavored protein powder. Create a survey asking users multiple-choice questions covering aspects like taste intensity, mixability, sweetness level, usage time (morning, afternoon, pre- or post-workout), digestion issues, and other relevant factors you can think of. Include an open-ended question at the end asking for suggestions from the user.

Click Publish in the top-right corner and youre done.

Sure, Google Forms is already pretty great when it comes to visual charts and graphs for multiple-choice
questions.

However, with descriptive survey questions, you typically have to go through each response individually to gather insights. Gemini solves this problem through quick AI summarizations.

Click the Responses tab and scroll down to the descriptive question. Click on the Summarize responses button with the Gemini logo in front of it. Summarize responses with Gemini in Google Forms (Image credit: Future) Gemini will quickly generate a bulleted summary of all responses, highlighting the common themes, frequently mentioned issues, and key suggestions. The AI groups similar suggestions together and can even separate positive and negative sentiments, helping you navigate hundreds of responses in very little time.

Gemini with Forms, its functions remain pretty task-specific. You cannot have a conversation with the AI bot inside Google Forms, like you can do in Sheets or Docs. This is why the scope of analysis with Gemini in Forms is pretty limited.

However, theres a slick workaround for this, which can help you harness the power of Gemini to its fullest extent. You can export all your form responses to Google Sheets and then use the Gemini side panel to draw more insights about your survey. Heres how:

Step 1: Visit the Responses tab on your Google survey form and click the
Link to Sheets button in the top-right corner. Link Google Forms responses to Google Sheets (Image credit: Future) Step 2: You can create a new spreadsheet or choose an existing sheet to export the data to. Click Create once youve made a choice.

Step 3: A spreadsheet will open in a new tab with all the survey responses converted into a table. Every time a new response is recorded for the survey, a new row will be added to this table because its directly linked to your Google Form. Export Google Form responses to Google Sheets (Image credit: Future) After converting the survey responses into a Google Sheet table, you can use Google Geminis side panel to dig out insights that go beyond Google Forms built-in vanilla analysis.

Here, you can enter everyday-English, natural-language prompts for richer analysis. Here are some examples of how to leverage AI for deeper insights. Ask Gemini to create an executive summary of the survey responses, along with key takeaways and a clear set of actionable insights. Ask Gemini to point out the strengths and weaknesses of your product based on customer surveys. Find correlation
between two or more survey questions, which are otherwise not easy to spot. For instance, you can ask Gemini if theres any correlation between mixability and the mixing method. In our example, a clear pattern emerged where using a shaker with water resulted in low mixability scores. This insight was not detectable from the plain insights available on Google Forms. Identify the
top three reasons why customers say they wouldnt buy the product and suggest immediate fixes. Identify customers who gave the lowest ratings and write an apology follow-up email offering a 20% discount on their next purchase. Of course, these are just a few examples of how you can use Gemini to dig deeper into survey data. The possibilities are truly endless. Say youre using Google Forms for expense reimbursements in your business. Then, Gemini can help you categorize those expenses, identify spending patterns, find outliers, and prepare quick reports. Limitations of using Gemini in Google Forms Gemini in Google Forms is really good, but its not perfect. Here are a few limitations: It can help you build surveys from scratch, but it cannot handle stylistic edits like changing colors, adding text, or backgrounds. These are things youll still have to do yourself. Geminis analysis within Google Forms is limited to question-and-answer type responses it cant help you with deeper analysis beyond what Google Forms inherently offer. Whenever new responses
are captured by the form, youll have to re-run the AI analysis in Google Sheets, as it doesnt automatically update with new responses. Final thoughts: Is Gemini in Google Forms worth It? Short answer: yes. Gemini in Google Forms is worth it, as it cuts down on the time required to design goal-oriented surveys. Simply describe your survey to Gemini, including the intent and the questions you want to ask, and it will build you a ready-to-use form in just
a few seconds.

You dont have to spend time brainstorming the questions to include in your survey or decide how to structure them. Gemini automatically suggests questions based on your survey intent and arranges them into a logical flow. You can then edit or rejig the form as per your needs.

In addition to designing, you can leverage Gemini in Forms and Sheets to eke out hidden data patterns and trends again, with simple human prompts. Overall, Gemini is a useful addition if youre looking to crank up your productivity, or if youre a non-tech savvy user who still doesnt want to compromise their quality of work.
