Filling of web forms

[gstiebler]

Are there plans to create a tool to fill web forms? Following web links is amazing, but filling web forms automatically would be a life saver. If not, I will start to write one, based on BeautifulSoup output and Selenium.

Hi, any progress regarding this, I am also thinking about working on it would be helpful if someone who tried it can share some insights

@gstiebler @Arclight00 please have a look at the work of @gianfrancodemarco here - #15704. Some additional discussion here.

Hi @Arclight00. I found https://github.com/TaxyAI/browser-extension, which is a Chrome Extension that interacts with the browser on behalf of the user. It is pretty much what I was looking for, but it seems not to be maintained anymore. I ended up creating https://github.com/gstiebler/BrowserGPT, also based on a Chrome Extension, instead of using BeautifulSoup and Selenium. It's still in very early stage, although I was able to interact in simple ways with the browser already. What I'm having some difficulties is to make it understand the DOM/HTML of user input UI. For example, it's not trivial to determine if some HTML elements are part of a dropdown.
