Forms for humans.
API for agents.
Same schema.
KinoForms is a form builder for teams that need conditional logic, controlled submissions, and scoped API access. Build forms in the visual editor or create them programmatically — the schema is the same either way.
{
"fields": [
{"id": "email", "type": "email", "label": "Email", "required": true},
{"id": "phone", "type": "phone", "label": "Phone"},
{"id": "role", "type": "select", "label": "Role",
"options": ["Designer", "Builder", "Researcher"]}
]
}{
"rules": [{
"predicate": {"field": "role", "op": "equals", "value": "Designer"},
"effects": [{"type": "show", "field": "portfolio_url"}]

Some people build forms with a mouse. Some build them with a script. KinoForms treats both as first-class.
For human operators
A visual form builder with conditional logic, dependency rules, and a review queue. Drag fields, set rules, publish, and review submissions as they arrive. No code required — but the schema is always there if you want to inspect it.
- Visual field editor with live preview
- Conditional logic: show, hide, require, filter
- Protected respondent flows (magic link, password)
- Submission review queue with status tracking
- Branding, themes, and custom domains
For AI personal agents
A stable public API with scoped keys, an OpenAPI schema, and a machine-readable llms.txt. Whether you're running inside Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, Devin, or a custom harness — if you can make HTTP calls, you can build and manage forms.
- POST /papi/v1/management/forms with forms:write scope
- Scoped API keys — per-key permissions, no shared secrets
- OpenAPI schema at /papi/v1/openapi.json
- llms.txt index for agent discovery
- Validate submissions before they hit the queue
The workflow.
Define the schema
Fields, types, labels, options. Use the visual editor or POST to the API — the schema is the same.
Add dependency rules
Predicates (equals, contains, ranges, regex) trigger effects (show, hide, require, filter). The form reacts.
Publish and share
Public link, embedded form, or API-driven submissions. Protected flows use magic link or password auth.
Review submissions
Submissions land in a reviewable queue. Pending, partial, completed. Filter, sort, export.
Programmable.
The public API is stable, versioned, and self-describing. Point your agent at the OpenAPI schema or the llms.txt index — it'll find the endpoints. Point your team at the API reference — they'll find the curl examples.
