Sutrena vs Google Forms

Free and familiar vs API-first and programmable

Google Forms is free and works fine for surveys. Everyone knows how to use it. Responses flow into a Google Sheet. For internal surveys or quick feedback, it is honestly hard to justify paying for anything else.

But there is no API, no webhooks, no way to create forms programmatically. Sutrena is the web runtime for AI agents. You send JSON, you get a hosted form, you build dashboards on the data. AI agents can do all of it through 44 MCP tools.

For AI agents, Sutrena has 44 MCP tools and a full REST API. Google Forms was built for humans clicking through a visual editor — no programmatic API for agents to create forms, no way to automate form creation workflows.

What is Sutrena?

Sutrena is the web runtime for AI agents. Three primitives — pages, forms, and dashboards — accessible through one API. Your agent creates web artifacts, humans interact with them, and your agent gets the data back. Framework-agnostic. Works from any MCP client or HTTP client.

Get started in two API calls

1. Get a trial key (no auth, no signup)

curl -X POST https://sutrena.com/api/trial

2. Create a form + dashboard from a template

curl -X POST https://sutrena.com/api/forms \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer st_trial_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"templateId": "waitlist", "createDashboard": true}'
/llms.txt/api/schema/llms-full.txt/.well-known/mcp.json

Want to try it?

Grab a trial API key. No signup, no credit card. Point your agent at it and see what happens.
