Let your assistant prepare the WordPress form. You still press Send.

by Matt Gibbs

People often reach a website form after they have already explained what they need. They may have described an event, gathered contact details or worked through requirements with an assistant, only to copy everything into another set of boxes.

With Open for Agents Core, a compatible browser assistant can prepare selected WPForms Lite and Contact Form 7 forms. The form stays on the page. Every answer remains visible and editable. The visitor decides whether to press Submit.

Watch the one-minute demonstration, or try the live form yourself.

The assistant prepares the form you already use

The site owner installs the free Open for Agents plugin, reviews the detected form and enables that exact capability. Activation alone publishes nothing.

When a compatible assistant visits the enabled form, the page supplies a clear description of the form and its fields. That lets the assistant map details from the conversation into the choices the website actually supports. It does not need to guess which label belongs to which box.

In the catering demonstration, the visitor supplies contact details, event type, date, venue, guest count, service style, dietary requirements, budget and notes in one request. The assistant prepares the real WPForms quote form with those values.

Preparation is not submission

The prepared answers remain in the ordinary visible form. The visitor can inspect them, change them or clear them. Open for Agents does not give the assistant permission to send the request.

If the visitor chooses to continue, they use the form provider's normal Submit button. WPForms or Contact Form 7 performs its own validation and displays its own confirmation.

That boundary is deliberate. An assistant can remove the repetitive mapping work without making the final decision for the person.

What the site owner controls

The owner chooses whether to publish the browser integration and which exact form to enable. Core publishes only reviewed capabilities. It does not require an Open for Agents account, an AI API key in WordPress or the optional Open for Agents Assistant.

The current release supports eligible single-page forms. Captchas, uploads, payments, signatures, calculations, consent workflows and multi-page forms are outside this preparation path.

What we tested

The controlled native-browser checks used WPForms Lite 2.0.1.1 and Contact Form 7 6.1.7. In both cases the assistant selected the appropriate preparation tool, the visitor could edit the visible values, and the provider completed only after the visitor used its ordinary Submit control.

Current experimental browsers can cancel a pending tool result when a form provider replaces or resets its markup, even when the provider has already completed successfully. The visible provider confirmation is authoritative; the visitor should not send the same request again merely because an assistant reports that cancellation.

This is a bounded compatibility result, not a promise that every browser, assistant or form will behave identically.
