You already know what a strong response looks like. The goal is not to review every response forever. It is to capture how you review, confirm that the assistant follows your standards, then automate the work when you are confident.

AI Response Feedback for Forms™ is a review assistant inside Google Forms™. Brief it the way you would brief a careful assistant. Explain what matters, what is missing, how feedback should sound, and what should happen next.

At first, the add-on prepares each response for your review. You can release useful feedback without writing it from scratch, and improve the instructions whenever the result differs from what you would have sent. Once the assistant responds the way you want, you can turn on automatic processing and delivery.

Your standards. Your voice. Every response.

=== Is this a good fit for you? ===

The add-on is most useful when:

→ you review the same kind of response repeatedly
→ answers need context and explanation, not only a fixed score
→ each response needs a decision, feedback, or next step based on its content
→ you can explain what a strong response should include
→ you want to prove the review quality before automating the work

Common uses include:

→ student writing, assignments, quizzes, and training assessments
→ applications, intake forms, and personalized diagnostics
→ recurring reports that should be clear, complete, and actionable
→ surveys where each respondent should receive a useful follow-up

If your form only needs required questions or fixed right or wrong scoring, the built-in Google Forms™ tools may be enough.

=== See useful feedback before you turn anything on ===

On first use, the add-on reads your form questions and prepares realistic example responses. You see one response that meets your requirements and one that needs revision, together with the feedback each would receive.

Nothing is sent. No submitted response is selected. No automation starts.

Adjust the review instructions and generate the examples again until the feedback reflects how you would handle the response yourself.

=== Why not review another way? ===

Manual review gives you control, but it takes time and becomes harder to apply consistently as responses pile up.

Fixed quiz rules work well for exact answers, but they cannot explain missing context, unclear reasoning, or what someone should improve next.

A general AI chat can review a response, but you must copy the form content, repeat your instructions, and move the result back into your workflow.

This add-on keeps your review instructions connected to your form. Every new response receives the same careful first pass, and you can see the result and activity in one place.

=== Make the review sound like you ===

Your instructions can include detailed judgment and communication rules. For example, you can ask the AI to:

→ preserve a student's writing voice while explaining corrections
→ give useful hints without revealing the answer
→ apply a scoring method and recommend the right next step
→ check whether a report is clear, complete, and professional
→ use your preferred language, tone, and feedback structure

Describe these rules in everyday language. You do not need to write code.

These instructions are how you train the assistant. It does not silently change its rules when you approve feedback. When a result misses your intent, improve the instructions and generate it again. Your updated rules apply to future responses.

=== Start with review, then automate ===

“You review before sending” is a calibration step, not a permanent queue. As responses arrive, the add-on prepares feedback for you. You review and release it, then improve the instructions whenever you notice something you would have handled differently.

When the results are consistently right, turn on automatic processing so new responses receive feedback without waiting for you. You can keep reviewing before sending for higher-stakes forms.

You can:

→ review and release prepared feedback
→ improve the instructions and generate feedback again
→ turn on automatic processing when you trust the results
→ send feedback to you, the responder, or both
→ include an edit link when a response needs revision
→ process responses received before you turned the add-on on
→ retry failed processing or delivery
→ export responses with their review status

=== AI and email options ===

The included feedback service is ready to use. If your organization manages its own Google AI™ billing, you can choose to use your own Google AI™ key.

For respondent emails, you can choose the sender option that fits your workflow and customize the email subject and message.

=== You stay in control ===

You control:

→ the review instructions
→ whether processing is active
→ who receives feedback
→ whether responders receive edit links
→ whether older responses are processed
→ when feedback you reviewed is released

The add-on asks for the permissions needed to work with your current form, show its workspace, create the response trigger, call the feedback service, and deliver the messages you choose.

=== Get started ===

1. Install the add-on.
2. Open a Google Form™.
3. Open AI Response Feedback for Forms™ from the Extensions menu.
4. Review the two form-specific examples.
5. Adjust the instructions until the feedback matches your standards.
