AI Text Box Loses to Simple Sign-Up Buttons in A/B Test

A newsletter article describes an A/B test by forms.app, a form builder with 4 million users. The test, shown to 25,000 new visitors, compared three homepage variants: an AI text box for describing a form, sign-up buttons (Google, Apple, email), and a single 'Create a form for free' button. The sign-up buttons converted at 15.15%, the 'Create a form' button at 9.60%, and the AI text box at only 5.74%. The AI box also performed worst on other metrics, with 84% of viewers clicking nothing. The author emphasizes that requiring users to think or type before value is a barrier, recommending moving such questions after signup, adding clickable example buttons, or asking for easily pasteable inputs like a URL. The article also mentions Microsoft Clarity as a tool for observing user behavior.
