How to Use Storm's AI Form Fill on Dashpivot Mobile

Step-by-step instructions for completing Dashpivot forms using voice recordings, photos, and typed notes on the Dashpivot Mobile app.

Written by Nina Yang

Storm's AI Form Fill feature allows workers and teams to capture information naturally while Storm drafts form responses for review before submission. This feature is designed for teams using Dashpivot Mobile who want to reduce manual data entry and streamline workflows such as inspections, site diaries, meeting minutes, and daily reports.

Prerequisites

Before you begin make sure you have the following:

  • Plan: All Plan Types

  • Permission: Dashpivot Contributor

  • Skills Required: Basic Dashpivot navigation and AI prompting

  • Device Type: Mobile Device

  • Subscription: Dashpivot Mobile

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open AI Form Fill on Mobile

  1. Open a form in Dashpivot Mobile.

  2. Tap the three blue dots in the bottom-right corner.

  3. Select Storm.

  4. The AI Form Fill canvas will open.

Step 2: Record a Voice Note

  1. Tap the microphone button.

  2. Start speaking naturally.

  3. Tap stop when finished.

Tip: When mentioning time, use exact times as much as possible — '08:30' rather than 'around 8'. Storm flags approximate times for review rather than assuming.

Step 3: Add Photos and Other Context

  1. Attach photos, screenshots, or typed notes to the AI Form Fill canvas.

  2. Continue adding contextual information as needed.

Tip: Frame photos deliberately — a close-up of a defect reads as defect evidence, a wide shot reads as site context. For dockets, nameplates, and labels, shoot flat and square-on in good light.

Step 4: Give Instructions While Recording

  1. Speak or type instructions while recording or adding notes.

  2. Examples of instructions include:

    • "Add five rows to the workers table"

    • "Rewrite this as a paragraph"

    • "Summarise this as meeting minutes"

    • "Add another bullet point"

Step 5: Review the Drafted Form

  1. Review all generated responses.

  2. Edit any fields if needed.

  3. Complete any remaining required fields.

  4. Save or submit the form manually.

Step 6: Run Additional AI Form Fill Sessions

  1. Reopen the AI Form Fill canvas if required.

  2. Add more recordings, photos, or instructions.

  3. Continue updating the form progressively during the workflow.

Note: When re-running AI Form Fill on a form that already has content, Storm appends new information under the relevant headings. Existing content is preserved verbatim and never rewritten.

Using AI Form Fill Offline

Storm's AI Form Fill supports offline capture. If you lose connectivity on site:

  • You can still record voice notes, attach photos, and type notes in the AI Form Fill canvas

  • Inputs are saved locally on your device

  • Once your device reconnects to the internet, processing begins automatically

  • Storm does not automatically submit the form — you still review and save manually

  • Photo-heavy forms now process reliably on poor or intermittent connections — you don't need a stable connection for the full session, just enough to begin processing once you submit

Note: Processing cannot begin without an internet connection. The drafted form will not appear until connectivity is restored.

Notes

  • AI Form Fill must be enabled for your workspace.

  • Some templates or fields may have AI Form Fill disabled by your organisation.

  • Storm can process recordings up to:

    • 90 minutes on iOS devices

    • 50 minutes on Android devices

  • Storm does not automatically submit forms.

  • AI Form Fill can continue processing in the background after the form is closed.

  • AI activity is recorded in the Form Activity Feed.

  • Android users: When AI Form Fill finishes processing, you'll receive a clearer completion notification confirming your draft is ready to review.

Tips

  • Speak clearly when recording voice notes.

  • Grouping in your dictation produces grouped output — 'Area A... Area B... north pit' yields area-headed bullets; 'concreters... steel fixers' yields trade-headed bullets.

  • Provide detailed context for better draft accuracy.

  • Minimise background noise during recordings.

  • Attach relevant photos and screenshots.

  • Give direct instructions to Storm.

  • Review all outputs before submission.

  • Start with simpler workflows such as site diaries, daily reports, and inspections before using AI Form Fill in higher-risk workflows.
