  FormBuddy is an AI-powered form-filling assistant that reads your personal documents — passports, tax forms, insurance
   cards, utility bills — and intelligently suggests the right value for every form field you click on any website.     
                                                                                                                        
  HOW IT WORKS                                                                                                          

  1. Point FormBuddy to a folder on your computer containing your documents (PDFs, images, text files)
  2. FormBuddy indexes the documents locally — nothing is uploaded anywhere
  3. When you click any form field on any website, FormBuddy finds the right answer from your documents and shows it as
  a suggestion
  4. Accept with one click — the field fills instantly

  EVERY SUGGESTION COMES WITH A CITATION

  FormBuddy never guesses. Every suggestion shows you exactly where the data came from:

    Passport Number: AB1234567
    From: passport_scan.pdf, Page 1 — "Document Number"

  PRIVACY BY DESIGN

  • Your documents never leave your device
  • No FormBuddy backend server — the extension is entirely client-side
  • API keys are stored in the browser's encrypted local storage
  • Only text snippets (not full documents) are sent to your chosen AI provider
  • You control exactly which folder FormBuddy can read

  BRING YOUR OWN AI KEY (BYOK)

  FormBuddy uses your own API key from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4o), or Google (Gemini). This means:
  • No FormBuddy subscription or monthly fee
  • Pay only for what you use, directly to the AI provider
  • Full transparency into your AI usage and costs

  WORKS ON ANY FORM

  • Tax returns (W-2, 1099, Schedule forms)
  • Visa and passport applications
  • Insurance claims
  • Travel and hotel bookings
  • Medical and government forms
  • Any website with input fields

  MULTI-PAGE FORM SUPPORT

  FormBuddy tracks which fields you have already filled across page navigations. On page 2 of a multi-page form, it
  never repeats a suggestion you already used on page 1.
