I built a tool that fills forms using my own notes so I never have to close the tab in fear again.
"If you're neurodiverse and self-employed like I am and you're staring at a 40 field application form, the whole thing is going to make you want to close the tab. That is exactly why I built this Google Chrome extension for myself using AI and a bit of vibe coding and all it does is simply fill in forms for me. How it does that is it connects to a personal Wikipedia that I've created on my platform that basically knows everything about me, my life, my work, everything that it's going to need to know to complete forms and the AI agent has access to that Wikipedia. When I land on a form the extension basically looks at every field in that form and works out what's being asked, the context of the page and then pulls from the Wikipedia in order to be able to complete it. That gives me my first draft of the entire form already filled in. From there all I need to do is go and check it and then rewrite anything that needs a bit of tweaking. I've also built it so I can just click on an individual field and it brings up an icon and then if I click the button it'll essentially complete that specific question. So if you're dyslexic or you have ADHD like I do, you'll know that a long form can feel really daunting and it can stop you before you even get started. And that's what I really love about this because it takes away the dread that you feel when you start looking at a blank form and you have to think about filling it in. This helps me complete it which means that I don't miss out on opportunities. I think the bigger point about this as well is the things that you build can be small and personal. Sometimes it's about making things that work for you and that make your life easier, not something that has to scale and ship every single time. That's what AI and vibe coding can be really brilliant for, creating the things that you need for yourself."
