What is AI follow-up question?

AI Follow-Up asks a contextual AI-generated probe based on earlier answers while the respondent is still filling the form. Enable AI follow-up on a question or add the AI Follow-Up block in the Formit builder. It is not an after-submit email digest and is distinct from Slack/Sheets alerts. Publishing may require a higher plan.

AI Follow-Up block in the Formit builder — Add Block → AI Follow-Up; configure settings in the properties panel.
