# Create your first form with the setup wizard

# Create your first form with the setup wizard

The **guided setup wizard** is the fastest way to go from a blank page to a working form. It turns a few simple choices into a complete, thoughtfully designed starting draft — and every text field lets you speak instead of type.

## Open the wizard

On your dashboard, click **+ New form**, then choose **Use guided wizard** (or pick a template to start from a pre-built design).

## Step by step

1. **What do you want to learn?** Type or speak your goal ("Why customers cancel," "Employee pulse on remote work"). The more specific you are, the sharper your form. You can also choose **Start from scratch**.
2. **What kind of form?** Pick an **AI Voice Form** (a real conversation) or a **Classic Form** (a traditional form; then choose the layout). For an AI form you also pick how voice answers are captured — **hands-free flow** or **push-to-talk**. If you choose Classic, the wizard skips the interviewer-design steps entirely.
3. **Who is answering?** Describe your audience to tune the tone and examples.
4. **Your questions** *(optional but powerful)* — paste or speak any exact questions you already know you want. Wispy keeps them **word-for-word and in order** as the backbone of your form, then adds smart supporting questions and follow-ups around them.
5. **Length and depth** — **Quick pulse** (~3–4 questions), **Standard** (~5–7), or **Deep dive** (~8–10).

The next two steps appear only for AI Voice Forms:

6. **Boundaries** *(optional)* — set topics to **never talk about** and topics to **never probe deeper on**. Both are honored in every conversation.
7. **Meet your interviewer** — pick a [persona](/knowledge-base/ai-interviewer/personas)lity archetype, name your interviewer, fine-tune the **humor, warmth, and formality** dials, hear and swap the voice, and choose the speaking model.

Then, for both kinds of form: **Review** a brand-aware summary of everything you chose.

## Create it

Click **Create my form**. A playful loading screen appears while Wispy designs it, then you land in the full builder with a finished starting point — ready to refine, preview, and publish. If anything cannot be generated (rare), a reliable template is used instead, so you are never stuck.
