Simple software is dying. Simplicity only mattered when humans had to use every feature. Now that agents can operate software for you, it’s the most capable tool that wins.

Important question: After someone fills out the form, does it actually follow up, or does the lead get sent to the same void where tax records and missing legions go?

Lol

You don’t want them to go where the missing legions go btw.

Congrats on the launch! My question is can it handle the cursed government form format: 20 pages, tiny boxes, repeated questions, and a signature section from 1998?

Thanks! Yes - I've tested too many government forms to count...

Unfortunately we all have, it seems..

Interesting launch. The category question is: at what point is "form builder" the wrong label? If the product owns intake plus what happens after intake, that starts looking more like an operating layer

Also our bet with @zite

@zite Yes, well said!

Congrats on the launch. Always excited to see a different take on a widely used service. How does this being agent native help users get the success they want?

thanks! Having one click rollbacks and easy previews in the same UI makes it safer to undo when something goes wrong but we are working on external MCPs for use in Claude + Chatgpt too, stay tuned

The MCP stuff would be really useful. Always a great to have the tools as close as possible to where the work happens. :)

this feels bigger than just a form builder.

Our bet with @zite too

I've been telling customers "it's coming, I promise" for weeks. Finally get to say "it's here". This is the best part of the job 🎉

Truly!

This looks great - can't wait to try. Curious what you think will happen to SaaS margins / per seat pricing if the "end-user" becomes more of an agent?

thanks! We removed per-seat pricing fully over a year ago. I think others will follow suit..

Feels like we’re entering a completely different era of software.

Hard to imagine how things will look in 1 year

I'm actually looking forward to that!

Definitely!

can it score and summarize incoming responses too, or is the AI mostly for building the form?

both - it can build the system that automatically scores and summarizes the responses

To make this work we had to rewrite how Fillout forms get built under the hood. 100% worth it for the new agent!

Heavy user of fillout! Congrats!

Thanks Ori!

This will be transforming for many companies globally! Big congrats for this launch!

Thanks Igor! 12k paying customers, 1m to go :)

Amazing progress! Wishing you continued growth ahead.

True. agentic traffic in software already exceeded human traffic. Signing up now.

Excited to give this a try! There is still so much progress to be made by giving agents better tools and systems to operate in. Congrats!

let me know how it goes!

👊

legendary

@ToronAntony That video is addictive to watch! Great work @Lauramaywendel 😁

hey Dom, congrats on the new release! Building the best form builder for agents is the right move 👏

thank you sir!

great work :)

👀

Simple software dies when the user stops being human.

Love it!

🙏

Using zite every day, this is great!

🙌

Interesting point. I guess once AI can handle the heavy lifting, we’ll start craving power over polish. Fillout’s growth shows there’s a market for depth.

I would have loved to see a 12-hour / 24-hour time format toggle added as part of this update. Super small thing, but for the booking time picker specifically, EU users are more used to 11:30 / 18.30 instead of AM/PM. Something like Cal’s simple time-format switch would be perf

Will shared requests for these internally, thank you!

Cheers!

When agents become the user, “simple” stops meaning fewer features. It means clean structure, reliable actions, and enough depth for the agent to actually get work done.

Ooh, this looks great! Native Boards are nice! At what point do Fillout and Zite become one product under one name?

Zite is the official company name! But we don't want to say goodbye to the Fillout brand :)

its amazing

let me know what you build!

will check it out and let you know

I will definitely be checking this out.

let me know if I can help - dm or [email protected] if you have any qs

I’ll be sure to Dm

This is so exciting - especially the second half of that vid 😉

@zite helping out!

Everything is becoming everything.

Cool stuff, would love to try

I don't think simplicity dies, it just moves layers. Agents can tolerate deeper workflows, but humans still need clear primitives and recoverability when the agent gets 80% there and hands back the last 20%.

Any progress on integrating PayPal payments directly with Fillout, without the need for a connector?

Depth wins, but the UI doesn't have to expose all that complexity. The pattern we're betting on with Dashform is: give agents capable form infrastructure, then let humans ask for outcomes instead of configuring every field.
