What they did

1) Open the SimplePDF Copilot public demo on a desktop browser with invented sample details ready. Its default example is a W-9 form; the public demo sends chat messages to the selected AI provider. 2) Choose the form-filling starter and answer the assistant's questions with your sample values. The model uses tools to place those values into the visible PDF. 3) Watch where each value lands. For a field that does not apply, tell the assistant to skip it or leave it blank. 4) Correct any misplaced or mistaken value directly in the editor, then inspect the remaining fields. 5) Use Download to keep the checked sample PDF.

How it went

HN readers exposed a field-label bug, which the maker reported fixing. The maker also demonstrated skipping a field and correcting a generated value.

Worth knowing

The maker reports AcroForm support, not XFA support. Local execution of field edits does not make the hosted demo's chat private.
