This article demonstrates building an AI-powered form-filling assistant using Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock to automate complex PDF form completion for public sector organizations.

• Analyzes fillable PDFs, extracts field structure, and stores reusable templates
• Performs fuzzy matching to find and map existing customer data to form fields
• Conversational AI agent guides users through missing information collection
• Solution runs in ~200 lines of Python code using six purpose-built tools
• Handles text fields, checkboxes, and choice fields with incremental saving
• Production considerations include S3 storage, Cognito authentication, Lambda deployment
• Addresses recurring public sector pain points: incident reporting, permits, benefits, licensing

The solution eliminates repetitive form-filling by intelligently mapping data sources to PDF fields through conversational AI, reducing errors and user frustration in government technology workflows.
