# Free-form Extractions

Free-form extractions allow you to query Feathery AI directly with field data formatted into an open-ended prompt rather than read from a pre-defined medium.

Useful for comparing values, non-programmatic data transformation, summaries, etc.

### Getting Started

Create a Free-form extraction by going to the AI tab of your account and clicking **Create Extraction**.

1. Give your extraction a name
2. Select **Free-Form Queries** as the format

### Set Up Queries

Use AI-driven natural language to query AI for information. Dynamically populate the query with values from your form using double brackets `{{Field1}}`

**Configuration Fields:**

* **Save To** (Optional) - The field the extracted value will be saved to

### Managing Queries

* Use the **Add Query** button to create additional extraction queries
* Each query can be expanded or collapsed using the arrow controls
* Use the trash icon to delete unwanted queries
* Queries can be reordered using the drag handles
