# Using AI chat overview

AI chat builds and edits forms, translates them and answers questions about your submissions. It runs on AI credits, which you buy in packs on any plan.

## What AI chat does

Open it from **Ask anything** in the bottom-right corner and say what you need. It can build a form from a description, a PDF or a screenshot, change a form as you talk, translate it, and answer questions about your submissions. Before it publishes, deletes or cancels anything, it asks you to approve.

## What it costs

AI chat runs on credits that you buy in packs, on any plan. Credits never expire. If you would rather use your own AI tool, such as Claude or ChatGPT, [connect it to Formstep](https://formstep.io/docs/guides/ai-agents/connect/): that uses no Formstep credits.
