What it is
Formap takes a scanned form, PDF, or photo and reconstructs it as an interactive digital form using a mix of text parsing and AI vision. You review the AI's reconstruction on a pixel-faithful canvas, point it at where the data should go, and publish a live link — no code required.
Why it exists
Most organizations sit on a backlog of offline forms — intake sheets, work orders, inspections — that force slow, error-prone manual re-entry. Formap collapses 'paper to live digital form' from weeks down to minutes.
Who it's for
Operations teams, field services, and compliance-heavy organizations that run on forms.
What it does
- AI reconstruction from PDF or image onto a pixel-faithful canvas
- Hybrid extraction (text layer + form widgets + AI vision) for accuracy
- Drag-and-drop builder with a dozen-plus field types and auto-save
- Connectors that route submissions to other platforms with no code
- Encrypted-at-rest connector credentials
- Two rendering modes: pixel-perfect document view and responsive simple view
How it works
What made it interesting to build
Reliable reconstruction was the whole ballgame. The project started with AI vision alone and produced too many hallucinated fields, so it evolved into a hybrid approach that combines a PDF's underlying text and form data with vision — far more accurate. The connector system was deliberately designed so adding a new destination is a self-contained add-on that needs zero changes to the core.
