I built an open source dynamic and cheaper TypeForm using AI
Hi everyone, I recently built a tool called Ziggy. Ziggy is a alternative to tools like Typeform except Ziggy uses AI to ask dynamic questions like you would ask when doing an interview with a user with some pretty powerful analytics. It's completely open source and was made to help save time and money doing 1-on-1 interviews with a lot of users in a short amount of time. We're also looking for any and all feedback so let me know what you think! Give it a try here by doing a feedback survey for Ziggy: https://www.useziggy.com/zy/MtAp-d7ebzylr
I built an open source dynamic and cheaper TypeForm using AI launched on April 9, 2024 with 15 votes, #954 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Ziggy is an open source form and survey tool that uses AI to ask dynamic questions during user interviews, similar to Typeform. It's designed for researchers and product teams who need to conduct multiple one-on-one interviews efficiently. The tool includes analytics to track and analyze responses, and aims to reduce the time and cost associated with traditional interview processes.

- IMI'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool2025 · ▲260
Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli
Typeform was too expensive so I built my own forms2025 · ikiform.com · ▲190Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and run a web design agency. I create open-source apps, but I also work as a freelancer and designer. I was accepting any new freelance project via forms on my agency website. I was using Typeform, but as time went by and more people submitted forms, it got more and more expensive. That time, I thought to use Google Form, but it was way too blocky and looked very unprofessional on my agency website. So I thought to build my own forms for my own usage, and it turns out it almost doubled form submissions and inquiry calls. I was happy, so I thought to build it for…

Zigpoll2019 · zigpoll.com · ▲73Hey everyone I’m a solo founder and developer, and I’ve been building software since 2011. Over the years, I watched customer feedback tools go from simple and focused to bloated, enterprise-heavy platforms. Tons of features, endless configuration… and yet I kept using maybe 10% of what was there. The rest mostly got in the way. So I decided to build the feedback tool I actually wanted to use. That became Zigpoll — a fast, focused survey and feedback platform designed for real-world businesses. It does the essentials really well: post-purchase surveys, attribution insights, customer feedback…
