# Field Notes

## Question

Can a small model make form filling safer and less frustrating by turning messy paperwork into a reviewable field table instead of directly controlling a browser or submitting a form?

## Intended User

One real person who regularly deals with confusing forms or paperwork. The project should name the workflow in the demo without exposing private data.

## What The App Does

- Finds likely fields in pasted form text.
- Matches user-provided facts to those fields.
- Separates confident fills from missing or risky fields.
- Generates plain-English questions for the missing fields.
- Exports an anonymized trace for review.

## What The App Does Not Do

- It does not submit forms.
- It does not bypass user review.
- It does not claim legal, medical, financial, or immigration advice.

## Early Hypothesis

The useful small-model behavior is not "agent fills the website." The useful behavior is "agent prepares a clean checklist the person can verify quickly."
