Turn PDFs into API-Fillable Forms with AI

AI and vision automatically scan your PDFs and documents to detect fields, identify the type of data each field expects, and generate clear, readable labels for easier mapping.

Just upload your existing forms, whether it is an application, loan form, or other document, and the system can analyze and prepare them in seconds.

The result is a static file transformed into a structured, fillable, API-ready document with much less manual effort.

AI field detection animation A static loan application PDF being turned into a fillable form. A scan sweeps down the document and, as it passes each blank, outlines it as a detected field and numbers it. Each detection adds a row to the Data Fields panel alongside, carrying the generated field name and the type of data it expects — full_name as Text, date_of_birth as Date, loan_amount_requested as Number, signature as Signature. When the scan finishes, the panel shows the resulting API payload and the document is marked API-ready. loan-application.pdf Detect Fields LOAN APPLICATION 1. APPLICANT 2.
