Can PlugThis rebuild Grant Form Autofill?

YESYes — you can rebuild this.

“It is just a structured snippet library mapped to grant form fields.”

Grant Form Autofill stores reusable answers to common application questions and helps insert them into forms. You can easily build this using local Chrome storage or a Supabase backend to store categorised question-and-answer pairs, with a side panel or content script to inject them into any application page.

The starter prompt

Starter prompt — paste into PlugThis
Create a Chrome extension that serves as a grant application assistant. Include a side panel and popup to store, categorize, and search past answers to common grant questions. Add a content script that identifies form fields on application pages and provides a 1-click button next to inputs to insert matching answers from the library.

Questions about rebuilding Grant Form Autofill

Can my custom extension detect grant questions automatically?

Yes. A content script can inspect form labels, placeholder text, and common input names to match questions against your stored answer library.

Where are my grant answers stored?

You can store them locally via chrome.storage or sync them across your team using your own Supabase database.

Can I add AI to adjust answer lengths?

Yes. You can plug in your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key to rewrite standard boilerplate answers to fit strict word or character count limits.
