Create Signup Forms with AI
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can generate Grasshopper signup forms instantly using a simple link. No API key needed, no account required.
How It Works
Any AI assistant can create a Grasshopper signup form by constructing a simple URL. No API key, no authentication, no setup.
Describe Your Form
Tell your AI assistant what kind of signup form you need. Include dates, times, capacity, and any other details.
Click the Link
The AI constructs a Grasshopper generation link. Click it and your form starts generating immediately.
Share Your Form
Your form is ready in seconds. Add your email, customize it, and share the link with your group.
Magic Generation Link
To generate a form, construct a URL using this pattern:
The prompt parameter should be a URL-encoded description of the form you want. The source=ai parameter is optional and helps track AI-generated forms.
When a user clicks this link, Grasshopper's AI immediately generates a complete signup form based on the description. The user can then customize it and share it.
Writing Great Prompts
The best prompts are concise but specific. You don't need to spell out every detail. Grasshopper's AI adds intelligence on its own: it knows how to format time slots, set sensible defaults, and structure a great form. Just give it the key facts and let it do the rest.
Include these key details:
- Event type - what the signup is for
- Dates - specific days or date ranges
- Times - start/end times for time-based signups
- Slot duration - how long each slot is (15 min, 30 min, etc.)
- Capacity - max signups per slot or option
