Product facts · Updated 3 October 2026

Know what happens before you start.

GuideLens is a browser form assistant that works beside the original form in your existing browser. It fills and checks supported fields; you review and submit.

Delegate the repetition. Keep the decisions.

Confirm details, then fill

Review details from your documents or answers before filling supported fields on the current page. Facts have sources, confirmation state and revision history.

Ask beside the question

Understand wording and draft from your own facts beside the original form. Declarations, preferences and consent remain your decisions.

Read the result back

Check whether the page retained an answer, whether its format is valid and what needs review. Unsupported controls need manual handling.

Current filling supports native web fields that GuideLens can handle. The five use cases are examples, not verified compatibility with every website. A complete portal compatibility test list has not been published.

Why GuideLens

One fact record. Consistent applications.

From a visa application to a job application: reuse reviewed personal details without carrying the whole previous conversation into the new task.

Details and sources

General assistants here include ChatGPT, Codex and WorkBuddy, including browser execution. The form-specific classifications are inferred from their published default workflows, not a claim that custom code, instructions or skills cannot reproduce them.

Codex handles broader browser and computer tasks. GuideLens combines a dedicated fact-review, field-filling and validation workflow.

Work directly with supported fields

Read labels, options and field state, then write answers to native web fields without guessing screenshot coordinates or moving the system mouse for each field.

Confirm the facts first

Reusable facts have sources, review state and revisions, separate from chat. A new task can use relevant reviewed records without treating the previous conversation as its factual memory. Records currently remain browser-session scoped; this is not a promise of durable memory across restarts. Reusing reviewed records reduces inconsistent names, dates and history across applications. It does not guarantee error-free extraction or mapping; declarations and consent still need you.

Read what the page kept

Check retained values and validity before supported intermediate steps. Final submission, signatures and payment stay manual.

Codex also supports reading webpage structure. It is not exclusively screenshot-driven. No same-task token or speed benchmark is available; unsupported GuideLens controls require manual handling.

File-send confirmation is an implemented control, not a claim of local-only AI. Cloud reading sends original documents; planning may send relevant facts. Local PII protection is planned, and provider retention terms still apply.

How your information is used.

01
Select a file
Selected files are staged on your device. Selection does not authorise AI reading.
02
Confirm AI reading
After confirmation, the original file is sent to cloud providers for extraction, under their terms and retention settings.
03
Review and fill
Details and document context persist during your browser session. AI planning, explanations and checks may send relevant facts and form content.
04
Submit yourself
Attaching a file to the application site requires separate confirmation. Final submission, signatures, payments, passwords and CAPTCHAs are yours.

Details are not guaranteed to survive closing the browser. The current version does not provide a cross-session fact library. Local PII detection, OCR and redaction are planned. Read the privacy policy →

What does the 40% estimate mean?

“Save 40% of your application time” is currently a private-beta estimate, not a guarantee for every application. Sample size, measurement methodology and independently verified results have not been published. No controlled same-task speed, cost or accuracy benchmark against ChatGPT, Codex or WorkBuddy is available.

A published evaluation should include document reading, review and correction time, and disclose forms, sample size, models, dates and manual interventions. The estimate is not a competitor performance result.
