Some forms don't get filled once — they get filled the same way for ten, thirty, or a hundred different people in a row. Offer letters for a hiring class, waivers for event attendees, intake forms for new clients, timesheets for a whole team. The document doesn't change; only the name, date, and a few other details do. Typing that by hand for every person is where afternoons disappear and small mistakes creep in.
To batch-fill the same form for multiple people at once, upload one form template with a list of each person's details and let an AI form filler generate a separate completed document per person. Filly AI's batch fill applies one template across many saved client profiles in a single run, so you review instead of retype. It's a paid-plan feature; the free plan covers single fills.
What does "batch fill" actually do?
You pick one form — say an employment offer letter or a job application — and instead of filling it for one person, you run it against a list of client profiles you've already saved. Filly produces one completed document per person in the list, each correctly filled with that person's own details, in a single pass.
How is this different from a mail-merge?
Mail-merge tools work well when every field maps to a column in a spreadsheet you already maintain. Filly's batch fill is built for form-shaped documents specifically — PDFs and Word files with fields the AI has already detected — and reuses the same client-profile data you'd use for one-off fills, so there's no separate spreadsheet to keep in sync.
Do I need to set up each person's details first?
Yes — each person needs a saved profile (name, contact details, and whatever else the form asks for) before a batch run. That's the same setup used for single fills, and it pays off here: build the list once, and it's ready for this form today and any other form next month. See how auto-fill works across multiple client invoices for the same idea applied to billing.
What kinds of forms are worth batch-filling?
Anything repeated across a group: hiring paperwork for a cohort of new employees, waivers or consent forms for event or class attendees, onboarding documents for a batch of new clients, or the same contract sent to several vendors with only their details changing. If the form and its structure stay fixed and only the recipient changes, it's a batch-fill candidate.
What do I get back after a batch run?
A completed document for every person on the list, ready to download individually or as a set. Each one can also go out as its own no-login e-sign link, so recipients review and sign in a browser without an account.
Frequently asked questions
Is batch fill available on the free plan?
Batch fill is a paid-plan feature, starting at $19/month. The free plan covers single-document fills, up to 10 a month with no credit card.
Can I mix different forms in one batch?
A batch run applies one form template across many people. To fill different forms, run a separate batch per form — each still pulls from the same saved client profiles.
What if one person's details are missing or wrong?
Filly flags fields it couldn't confidently fill so you review just those, rather than re-checking every completed document from scratch.
Can I use my own uploaded form for batch fill, not a template?
Yes. Any PDF or Word form you upload can be batch-filled once Filly has detected its fields, the same as the built-in templates.
