How Freelancers Can Automate Upwork and Fiverr Forms with FillApp’s AI

If you’re a freelancer, you know the drill: every new job or gig means another form to fill out. It’s the same story on Upwork, Fiverr, and dozens of other platforms; endless boxes for your skills, experience, rates, and links. What if you could skip the busywork and focus on landing your next contract? Good news: FillApp is here to automate the grind.


Why Repetitive Form Filling Drains Freelance Productivity

Manual form filling may seem harmless, but the cost adds up fast. Each proposal or gig application asks for the same details; your name, title, skills, portfolio, rates, and more. Multiply that by every job you apply for, every platform you use, and suddenly hours are lost to mindless typing.

Here are some of the biggest headaches freelancers face:

  • Time wasted on repetitive data entry
  • Errors and typos from rushing or copying the wrong info
  • Lost focus from switching between platforms and forms
  • Delays in submitting proposals (and missing out on gigs)
  • Fatigue from doing the same task over and over

Freelancers thrive when they can move fast and stay sharp. That’s where form automation makes a real difference; and why FillApp stands out as a productivity tool built for today’s gig economy.


Meet FillApp: The AI Tool That Automates Job Forms

FillApp is an AI-powered browser extension and web app that makes form filling nearly automatic. Whether you’re applying for jobs on Upwork, setting up gigs on Fiverr, or handling forms on any other platform, FillApp turns hours of manual data entry into seconds of smart automation.

No coding. No fiddly integrations. Just install the extension and FillApp is ready to use.

What sets FillApp apart?

  • AI form filling that understands your instructions
  • Two powerful methods: write in plain language or use reusable data snippets (like @portfolio)
  • Learning from your history: FillApp remembers what you’ve filled before and suggests it next time
  • Works on any standard web form: text, dropdowns, dates; no setup required
  • Quick review: Highlights the info before filling, so you can edit, accept, or move on

How FillApp Works: Two Smart Ways to Automate Forms

1. Fill with Natural Language

Just tell FillApp what you want. For example:

“Fill this application with my @writerProfile and set availability to 30 hours per week.”

FillApp’s AI understands your intent and completes multiple fields at once. No more typing the same info over and over.

2. Fill with Reusable Snippets

Snippets are like shortcuts for your most-used details. Create a snippet called @upworkProfile with your name, email, skills, rates, portfolio, and more. Next time you’re on a form, just type @upworkProfile and FillApp auto-fills all those fields instantly.

You can manage, edit, and organize your snippets any time in the FillApp web app; perfect for freelancers with different profiles for different platforms.

Smarter every time: FillApp learns from each form you fill. When you return to a similar form, it suggests values from your history for even faster completion.


Real-World Examples: FillApp in Action for Freelancers

1. Upwork Proposals, Done in Seconds

Alex is a freelance copywriter applying for jobs on Upwork. Each proposal asks for the same info: name, email, hourly rate, skills, portfolio, and a cover letter. Instead of retyping or copy-pasting, Alex uses FillApp’s @upworkProfile snippet. With a simple command, FillApp fills out all the fields; and even suggests values based on Alex’s last application.

2. Fiverr Gig Creation, Streamlined

Taylor offers design services on Fiverr. Creating a new gig means filling out descriptions, categories, tags, pricing, and requirements. Taylor creates a @fiverrDesign snippet with all the details. Now, setting up new gigs takes less than a minute, with no risk of missing a field or making a typo.

3. Agency Teams Managing Multiple Platforms

An agency manager posts jobs on both Upwork and Fiverr for clients. With FillApp, she builds different snippets for each client and platform. Switching between forms is now effortless; just select the right snippet and let FillApp handle the rest.


FillApp in Practice: Annotated Example

Ever wondered how FillApp would actually work on a real freelance job form? Here’s a practical scenario using FillApp’s snippet and highlighting features for an Upwork proposal:

Apply to this job with: @upworkProfile Include a custom cover letter: I'm excited to help your business grow with compelling copy that drives results. Set application deadline to June 30, 2025 .

With just a mention of @upworkProfile, FillApp fills nine key fields. You can see the highlighted values before submitting; making it easy to double-check or tweak any detail. No more copying and pasting from old documents or risking outdated info.


Why Freelancers Love FillApp: The Key Benefits

  • Faster form completion: Submit proposals and applications in seconds, not minutes.
  • Reduce manual data entry: Eliminate repetitive typing and avoid copy-paste mistakes.
  • Workflow automation: Set up snippets once and reuse them everywhere; on Upwork, Fiverr, or any job platform.

  • Control and confidence: Review highlighted entries before submitting to ensure every detail is just right.

What About Limitations?

FillApp works on most standard web forms, but there may be occasional forms with unusual designs where manual tweaks are needed. The good news? FillApp always highlights what it’s about to fill, so you can quickly adjust any field. And you don’t need to learn code or set up complex integrations; just install and start automating.
