How to automate form filling in Chrome.

Autofill handles your address. An AI agent handles the other twenty-five fields. Here is when to use which.

In short

Use Chrome autofill for addresses and cards, a password manager for logins, and an AI agent for everything else — custom questions, long applications and forms whose fields autofill does not recognise.

Option 1: Chrome autofill

Chrome saves addresses, phone numbers and payment methods and offers them on fields it recognises. It is instant and private, but it only knows standard fields and often fails on custom forms.

Option 2: Password managers

Password managers fill logins and, in many cases, identities and cards. They are the right tool for credentials — no AI agent should ever type your passwords.

Option 3: An AI agent

An agent reads the form’s labels and types what you tell it into the matching fields, including free-text answers and dropdowns. With Hark:

  1. Open the form and press Alt+Shift+H.
  2. Switch to Agent.
  3. Type: “Fill in this form with my details: …”
  4. Watch the fields fill, then approve the submit step.

See it in action on the fill out forms page.

Staying safe

Never paste passwords, one-time codes or card numbers into an AI tool. Review every filled form before submitting; an agent that asks for approval makes that the default.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can AI fill out forms automatically?

Yes. An AI browser agent reads the form and types the details you provide into the right fields. Hark asks for your approval before submitting.

Is AI form filling better than autofill?

For standard address and payment fields, autofill is faster. For custom or long forms, an agent is far more flexible.

Can I use an AI agent for bulk data entry?

Hark is designed for one form at a time under your supervision, not for bulk scraping or mass submissions.
