Start from a description
Describe the form in your own words — “a discovery questionnaire for new prospects covering goals, income, and risk tolerance” — and attach an existing form if you have one. The AI rebuilds attached PDFs, Word documents, and images (up to 5 files, 25 MB each) as a Slant intake form. While the AI drafts your form, the form shows a Building status. Once the questions are ready, choose a layout and the form opens in the editor as a draft.Start from a template
Templates are ready-made forms you can use as-is or adapt:- Client Intake Form — a full onboarding questionnaire covering household, finances, and goals
- Prospect Discovery — a pre-engagement questionnaire for prospective clients

- Annual Review Client Update — a pre-meeting check-in that gathers family, financial, and goal updates before an annual review
- Event RSVP — a branded invitation page that collects RSVPs for client dinners, seminars, and appreciation events
- Risk Tolerance Questionnaire — the 13-item risk tolerance scale developed by Dr. John Grable and Dr. Ruth Lytton

- Contemporary — calm, minimalistic multi-page form

Edit a form
Open a form and click Edit form. The editor shows a chat panel on the left and a live preview on the right, with Desktop and Mobile preview toggles.

- “Make the phone number required”
- “Split the household section into two pages”
- “Match our brand colors”
Edits apply to your working draft only. Recipients keep seeing the last published version until you publish the changes.
