AI Google Forms Filler: Real Data and Test Data in One Click

5 min read

People search for a Google Forms filler for two different reasons. One group has to answer a long form with information they already have somewhere else: a registration, an application, an intake questionnaire. The other group built the form and needs it filled twenty times with believable answers to test the responses sheet, the validation and the notifications.

FillWise, a Chrome extension we build, covers both. This guide shows exactly how, which question types fill and which do not, and what it costs. We tested the scan on a live public Google Form while writing this, and the limits below come from that.

Filling a Google Form from your own data

The situation: a conference registration in Google Forms asks for name, email, organisation, address, dietary needs and a paragraph about why you want to attend. You have all of it in an email you sent last week.

  1. Install FillWise from the Chrome Web Store and sign in with Google.
  2. Open the Google Form. Open the FillWise side panel.
  3. Paste the email, or any text that holds the answers, into the panel. Format does not matter; a CRM record, a note, a JSON blob and a message in another language all work. You can attach a photo, scan or PDF instead of typing, for example an ID card for the identity fields.
  4. Click Fill web form. The AI reads the question labels on the form, matches them to your text and types the answers in.
  5. Read through, fix anything you disagree with, submit.

A block of text that describes several people, for example a team of four registering for the same event, is split across the repeated sections if the form has them. Save the block as a template in the panel and the next form from the same organiser is one click.

Filling a Google Form with test data

The situation: you built a signup form and want to see what twenty responses look like in the linked sheet, whether the "required" rules hold and whether the confirmation email goes out.

  1. Open the form as a respondent (the viewform link, not the editor).
  2. In the FillWise panel switch on Fill empty fields with random data (free) and click Fill web form with nothing pasted.
  3. Every empty text field gets a plausible value: a name, an email address that looks like one, a date in the form's format, a phone number. Submit, reload, repeat.

Random data is generated locally in the extension and does not spend a fill from your balance. It is meant for testing your own forms; use it on other people's forms and you are just sending them junk.

You can mix the two modes: paste the answers you care about and switch random data on, and only the fields your text did not cover get generated values.

What fills and what does not

Google Forms renders its question types differently, and this is where honesty matters more than a feature list.

Question type Result
Short answer Fills. Labels are read correctly, including the required-field asterisk
Paragraph Fills
Email, with validation Fills
Date and time Fills in the format the field shows
Multiple choice, checkboxes Not filled today: Google draws these as custom controls with no real input underneath. Click them yourself
Dropdown Same as above, choose by hand
Linear scale, grid Same, click by hand
File upload Not filled, upload by hand

On the form we tested, every text question was found with its correct label and filled. The custom controls were left untouched. Support for Google's custom choice controls is on our list; until it ships, budget a few clicks per form for the choices.

Why not the browser's own autofill

Chrome fills a Google Form only where it recognises a standard field, usually name and email, and only with your own saved profile. Everything else on the form, and any form you fill for someone else, stays empty. The comparison with Chrome autofill goes through this in detail.

What to check by hand

Privacy

For a web form, the question labels and the text you pasted go to the FillWise server, are processed by the AI provider for that one fill and are not stored. Random test data never leaves your browser. The full breakdown, subprocessors and what your account keeps, is on the privacy and data security page. Do not paste other people's personal data into a form you are only testing.

Pricing

Free is 20 fills to start and 5 fills a week after that, with no card. Random test data does not spend fills at all. Paid plans start at $15 for 100 fills a month; the full list is on the pricing section. A fill is one web form. A Google Form you have filled before, filled again from typed text, does not spend a fill either: unlimited on paid plans, 20 a week on free.

FAQ

Does it fill Google Forms automatically when the page opens? No. It fills when you click, only the form you are on.

Can it submit the form for me? No. You review and press Submit.

Can I fill the same Google Form fifty times with different test data? Yes. Random data changes on every fill and does not spend your balance. For a form that is mostly multiple choice, the clicking is still yours.

Does it work on Microsoft Forms, Typeform or Jotform? On any of them, text fields fill the same way. Choice controls vary by product: real radio buttons and checkboxes fill, custom-drawn ones may not. Try it on the free plan on your own form.

Is the generated data safe to use? It is random and belongs to nobody. It is still not something to send to a form you do not own.
