Smart Field Detection

FillWise scans the page and understands every input — labels, placeholders, dropdown options, checkboxes, date and phone formats — so values land in the right place, formatted correctly.

Overview

Filling a form correctly is more than putting text into boxes. Dates come in a dozen formats, dropdowns only accept their own options, and modern web apps ignore values that are set without the right browser events. FillWise handles all of this automatically.

Before filling, the extension analyzes every visible input on the page: its label, type, placeholder, options and validation hints. That analysis is what lets the AI place each value in the right field, in the format the form expects — so the result actually submits, instead of failing validation.

Key Capabilities

Capability What it means for you
Label understanding Reads visible labels and nearby text, not just technical field names
All standard field types Text, email, number, date, time, phone, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, text areas
Format normalization Dates, times and phone numbers converted to the format each field expects
Dropdown option matching Your value is matched to the closest available option
Framework compatibility Values register correctly in React, Vue and custom select components
Visibility awareness Hidden and decorative inputs are skipped — only real fields are filled

How It Works

  1. The page is scanned. When you click Fill, FillWise collects every visible input with its label, type, options and format hints.
  2. The AI maps your data. Each value is assigned to the field it belongs to, formatted to match.
  3. Fields are filled natively. Values are written with proper browser events, so the website behaves as if you typed them.

Use Cases

Situation What Smart Detection does
Government portals with strict formats Dates and numbers arrive in the exact expected format
CRMs and admin panels built on React Values stick instead of disappearing on submit
Long applications with dozens of fields Every field is classified and filled in one pass
Forms with dropdown countries and titles Your "USA" matches "United States of America"

Common Questions

How does FillWise know what a field means?

It reads the field's label, name, placeholder and surrounding context. Even when a field has a cryptic technical name, the visible label is used to understand its meaning.

Are dropdowns and checkboxes supported?

Yes. Dropdown options are matched to your data (including close-but-not-exact matches), and checkboxes and radio buttons are ticked when your data indicates them.

What about date and phone formats?

FillWise detects the expected format from the field's placeholder — DD.MM.YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY, phone masks, time fields — and formats your value to match.

Does it work with custom UI components?

FillWise dispatches the right browser events so values register in React, Vue and popular libraries like Select2, not just plain HTML inputs.
