If you've ever spent hours entering the same details into online forms and completing multi-step form filling workflows, you know how much it slows down your day. What if you could automate these processes, cut errors, and get back to work you actually care about? With FillApp, an AI browser agent that shows every action, you can reclaim your time and eliminate repetitive form filling for good.
Why Manual Form Filling is Draining Your Productivity
Every professional knows the pain: the endless cycle of filling out web forms and completing multi-step workflows across different tabs and websites. Whether you're posting job openings, updating CRM records across multiple systems, or completing complex application processes, manual data entry and tab-switching eat away at your focus and productivity. Not only is it tedious, but it also introduces the risk of typos, wastes valuable time, and interrupts your workflow every time you have to hunt down the same information or repeat similar tasks.
That's where intelligent web automation steps in.
Meet FillApp: Your AI Browser Agent for Web Automation
FillApp is your AI browser agent that acts where you already work. It plans multi-step tasks, fills forms with precision, and shows a visible trace for every action. With three powerful modes—Fill, Agent, and Assist—FillApp handles everything from simple forms to complex cross-tab workflows. Built for HR managers, sales teams, recruiters, and administrative staff who want to reduce manual work and see exactly what's happening, all without complicated setup or coding.
7 Web Automation Hacks with FillApp's AI Browser Agent
Here's how FillApp can transform your workflow with seven powerful automation capabilities:
1. Use Natural Language for Instant Form Completion with Visible Trace
Instead of entering data field by field, just type what you need in plain English; like "Fill with my @workContact" or "Set start date to July 1, 2024." FillApp's AI understands your intent and fills multiple fields while showing you exactly what it's doing with a live cursor and step captions. This transparent approach drastically reduces manual data entry while keeping you in complete control.
2. Create Reusable Snippets for Common Information
Stop typing out the same address, company info, or contact details over and over. With FillApp, you can save snippets like @homeAddress or @companyProfile and use them anywhere. One command fills all related fields, making faster form completion part of your daily routine.
3. Plan and Execute Multi-Step Workflows with Agent Mode
For complex tasks that span multiple pages or tabs, Agent mode is your secret weapon. Tell FillApp something like "Log into the vendor portal, update our company profile, then submit the compliance form." FillApp creates a step-by-step plan, shows it to you for approval, then executes each action with visible cursor movement and captions. You can pause, resume, or take control anytime.
4. Work Across Multiple Tabs Without Losing Focus
One of FillApp's most powerful features is cross-tab execution. While you're working on your main task, FillApp can complete workflows in other tabs—updating CRMs, filling vendor forms, or posting to multiple platforms—without interrupting your focus. You see exactly what's happening in each tab through the visible action trace.
5. Effortlessly Handle All Form Field Types
From text boxes and dropdowns to date pickers and checkboxes, FillApp supports all common field types on most web forms; no integration needed. Just install the extension and you’re ready to automate almost any online form, whether it’s for HR, sales, healthcare, or beyond.
6. See Every Action with Complete Transparency
Worried about what the AI is doing? FillApp shows you every click, type, and navigation with a live cursor and step-by-step captions. You can see exactly what's happening on your screen, pause anytime, or take control when needed. This visible trace builds trust and keeps you confident in every action.
7. Understand and Extract Information with Assist Mode
Beyond automation, FillApp's Assist mode helps you understand content on any page, PDF, or image. Get quick summaries of long documents, extract key data into copy-ready formats, or ask specific questions about page content. Whether you're researching for forms or analyzing documents, Assist mode saves time and provides the context you need.
Real-World Examples: FillApp's AI Browser Agent in Action
To see how these automation capabilities play out in real life, here are practical scenarios showcasing the three modes:
HR Manager - Multi-Platform Job Posting (Agent Mode): Sarah tells FillApp: "Post this job opening on LinkedIn, Indeed, and our company portal using @jobTemplate." FillApp creates a plan: 1) Open LinkedIn → Fill form → Submit, 2) Switch to Indeed → Fill form → Submit, 3) Open company portal → Navigate to jobs → Fill form → Submit. She approves the plan and watches as FillApp executes each step with visible cursor movement, completing all three postings in minutes.
Sales Rep - CRM Workflow Automation (Cross-Tab Execution): John has leads to update across Salesforce, HubSpot, and his company's internal system. He tells FillApp: "Update all open lead forms with @prospectData." FillApp works across all tabs simultaneously, showing him exactly what's happening in each system while he continues preparing for his next call.
Grant Writer - Research and Application (Fill + Assist Modes): Maria uploads a 20-page funding announcement PDF to Assist mode, which extracts key requirements and deadlines into a clear summary. She then uses Fill mode with @organizationProfile to complete the application form, ensuring all requirements are met while saving hours of manual work.
