VendorHub AI for Onboarding Forms
Describe the change, review it before it lands

Editing an onboarding questionnaire is usually the reason it never gets edited. Say what needs to change in a sentence, see precisely what would be added, updated and removed, and apply it only when you are satisfied.

A reviewable change setEverything stays editable
How it works

Ask, watch, review, apply

Four steps, and the last two are entirely yours.

What it changeditemised
Suggestionsif you are stuck
Tell it what you needplain language

There is no syntax to learn. Ask for an insurance section at the top with a certificate upload, or branching rules when a supplier answers yes to a compliance question, and it works out what that means structurally.

  • Plain language rather than a rule builder
  • Dictate the request if typing is not convenient
  • Suggestions offered when you are not sure where to start
  • It names the form it is editing before it begins

It reads the request, updates the sections and questions, then remaps the branching logic so rules still point at the right targets after things have moved.

  • Reading the request
  • Updating sections and questions
  • Remapping branching logic so rules still resolve
  • Nothing applied while any of this is happening

The change set summarises what happened and lists every applied change with its section, including removals. You apply, go back, or cancel.

  • Counts for new sections, question updates and branching rules
  • A written summary of what changed and why
  • Each field marked as added or removed
  • Every section, question and rule stays fully editable afterwards

How this differs from a form that rewrites itself

The difference between useful and alarming is whether you can see what happened before it happens.

The challenge

A regenerated form

Some tools rebuild the whole questionnaire and leave you to spot what moved. You either accept it wholesale or start again.

The challenge

Applied immediately

The change lands and you find out afterwards, which is why most teams will not point an assistant at a live form.

Nothing is committed until you accept it, and you can cancel and go back at any point in the flow.

The challenge

Locked or fragile

Generated structures are often awkward to edit by hand, so the next change goes through the same route whether that suits you or not.

Ordinary editable fields

What it produces is the same sections, questions and rules you would have built yourself, and every one stays editable.

Anything, unpredictably

Broad assistants touch things you did not ask about, which is how a small edit becomes an afternoon of checking.

Why this matters more than it sounds

The form that never gets updated

Almost every team is running an onboarding questionnaire that no longer matches what they need, because changing it costs more than living with it.

Outcome

The form matches current requirements

When an edit takes minutes and shows you exactly what it will do, the questionnaire gets updated when requirements change rather than annually at best.

In practiceYou stop collecting fields nobody uses and start collecting what you actually need.
Outcome

Nobody needs to learn a builder

The person who knows what should be asked is rarely the person who knows the tool. Describing the change removes that gap entirely.

In practiceLegal, compliance and procurement can all shape the form without a specialist.
Outcome

Nothing changes without review

Every edit returns as a change set listing each addition, update and removal. It applies when you accept it and not before.

In practiceConfidence to use it on a form that real suppliers are completing.
Questions we get asked

About VendorHub AI

What is VendorHub AI?
The assistant that builds and edits supplier onboarding questionnaires. You describe the change you want and it returns a reviewable change set listing every section, question and rule it would add, update or remove.
Does it change my form automatically?
No. It drafts the change and shows you exactly what it would do. Nothing is applied until you accept it, and you can go back or cancel at any point.
What can I ask it to do?
Add or remove sections, add and reword questions, change question types, and add branching rules. A typical request is adding an insurance section with a certificate upload, or branching when a supplier answers yes to a compliance question.
Can I still edit the form by hand?
Yes. What it produces is ordinary sections, questions and rules, and every one stays editable afterwards. It is a starting point rather than a locked structure.
Does it handle branching logic?
Yes, including remapping existing rules when sections move so they still point at the right targets. That remapping is usually the fiddliest part of editing a form by hand.
Can I dictate the request?
Yes, by voice as well as typing. The review step is identical either way.
What if I do not know what to ask for?
There are suggestions to start from, such as adding an insurance section or adding branching rules for compliance questions. You can take one and adjust it.
