Government Forms Are Stuck in Paper

Federal agencies manage thousands of forms that collect information from the public. These forms are complex – multi-page documents with conditional logic, validation rules, sensitivity classifications, and accessibility requirements.

Today, digitizing these forms is a manual, expensive process. A single form can take weeks to convert from PDF to a working web experience. The result is fragile, hard to maintain, and disconnected from the source document.

What if an LLM could do the heavy lifting?

Forms Lab explores using large language models to automatically extract structured data from PDF forms and generate accessible, standards-compliant web experiences – turning weeks of work into minutes.
