The backstory
Tally is a free, flexible form builder with a Notion-like editing feel and generous limits. ChatGPT can generate form questions, but writing questions was never the hard or paid part. Tally survived because it is free and genuinely powerful, and AI form generation is just a feature it can add rather than a threat to a subscription. When the product is already free and pleasant to use, there is nothing for a chatbot to undercut.
