IntelliForm
Bot (GPT)
In this challenge, contestants are asked to rescue the form-filling public everywhere by developing a bot for helping complete any form.
Challenge Description
Assignment: Develop a GPT bot capable of guiding users through completing any form they upload, ensuring accuracy and understanding of instructions. The bot infers context from the provided form, It converses with the user, asking follow-up questions when needed, and alerts if an answer seems incorrect. Users can correct answers and revisit previous elements without redoing the entire form.
Problem Statement
Modern life is inundated with complex paper and digital forms, spanning various activities from applications to submissions. From birth certificates to school enrollment, government loans to passports, navigating these forms is a ubiquitous challenge. Information overload and unfamiliarity with bureaucratic processes often lead to errors, causing many to miss out on important benefits, even when they’re otherwise eligible.
We are seeking AI champions to alleviate the burden of form filling and make a meaningful impact for those who are missing out on crucial benefits they urgently need.

What Inspired this Challenge?
Dr. David A. Bray, Innovation Challenge Advisor
The topic for this challenge was developed from a conversation with Dr. David Bray, distinguished fellow with the Stimson Center, about how nice it would be if forms (application forms, enrollment forms, tax forms, etc) could just talk to the user who had to fill them out. How much simpler it would be!
