Can an AI agent read your form and fill it out correctly?
Most forms assume a person is reading the labels. Increasingly an AI agent is filling them in instead, working from a record rather than a screen. This tests whether agent-readable forms, where the structure is exposed rather than implied, let an agent complete a real intake form without guessing at what each field wants.
The prediction
Exposing a form's structure to an agent raises the rate at which it fills every field correctly, and the gain is largest on forms whose fields are ambiguous to a reader working from labels alone.
How it works
- What gets compared
Three forms requesting the same facts. A conventional contact form, a structurally marked-up form, and a schema-exposed form an agent can query directly.
- The task
An agent is given a vendor record and asked to complete the form from it. The record is fictional and published in advance, so the answers are checkable and nobody has to trust a private key.
- What gets measured
Fill success against a known answer key, and error type when it fails: wrong field, skipped field, or hallucinated value.
- What stays the same
The same vendor data, the same retrieval tool and the same agent across all three conditions, so tool quality cancels in the comparison rather than inflating it.
What would prove me wrong
If the schema-exposed form does not beat the conventional one on fill success, the claim is wrong and the result says so. A tie on the simplest forms is expected and is fine. A tie on the ambiguous ones is not.
The number
No number yet. When there is one it goes here, whether or not it says what I wanted it to say.
