Breakdown

This post from Cindy Manel and Julien Mattiussi discusses using AI to automatically fill out form fields by extracting relevant information from Wikipedia articles. It explains how to search Wikipedia, get article excerpts, and use OpenAI's language model to identify and extract specific pieces of information from the text to populate form fields. It covers some challenges like token limits, splitting long text into chunks, and handling errors or missing data.

Process:

  • Uses Wikipedia to search for articles related to the form topic

  • Gets plain text excerpts from relevant Wikipedia articles

  • Sends excerpt text to OpenAI's AI language model

  • AI extracts specific pieces of info (title, genre, creators, etc.) to fill form fields

  • Explores using AI to semi-automate filling out forms from web sources
