Form Filling System Updates

Summary of Changes

The LiveKit agent has been enhanced with a robust dynamic form filling system that automatically discovers and fills web forms based on user voice commands without relying on hardcoded selectors.

Key Updates Made

1. Enhanced MCP Chrome Client (mcp_chrome_client.py)

New Methods Added:

  • _discover_form_fields_dynamically() - Real-time form field discovery using MCP tools
  • _enhanced_field_detection_with_retry() - Multi-attempt field detection with retry logic
  • _analyze_page_content_for_field() - Content analysis fallback method
  • _is_field_match() - Intelligent field matching algorithm
  • _extract_best_selector() - Reliable CSS selector extraction
  • _is_flexible_field_match() - Flexible matching with increasing permissiveness
  • _parse_form_content_for_field() - Form content parsing for field discovery
  • _generate_intelligent_selectors_from_content() - Smart selector generation

Enhanced Existing Methods:

  • fill_field_by_name() - Now uses dynamic discovery instead of hardcoded selectors
    • Step 1: Check cached fields
    • Step 2: Dynamic MCP discovery using chrome_get_interactive_elements
    • Step 3: Enhanced detection with retry mechanism
    • Step 4: Content analysis as final fallback

2. Enhanced LiveKit Agent (livekit_agent.py)

New Function Tools:

  • fill_field_with_voice_command() - Process natural language voice commands
  • discover_and_fill_field() - Pure dynamic discovery without cache dependency

Updated Instructions:

  • Added comprehensive documentation about dynamic form discovery
  • Highlighted the new capabilities in agent instructions
  • Updated greeting message to explain the new system

3. New Test Suite (test_dynamic_form_filling.py)

Test Coverage:

  • Dynamic field discovery functionality
  • Retry mechanism testing
  • Voice command processing
  • Field matching algorithm validation
  • Cross-website compatibility testing

4. Documentation (DYNAMIC_FORM_FILLING.md)

Comprehensive Documentation:

  • System overview and architecture
  • Usage examples and API reference
  • Configuration and error handling
  • Testing instructions and future enhancements

Technical Implementation Details

Dynamic Discovery Process

  1. MCP Tool Integration:

    • Uses chrome_get_interactive_elements to get real-time form elements
    • Uses chrome_get_content_web_form for form-specific content analysis
    • Never relies on hardcoded selectors
  2. Retry Mechanism:

    • 3-tier retry system with increasing flexibility
    • Each attempt uses different matching criteria
    • Graceful fallback to content analysis
  3. Natural Language Processing:

    • Intelligent mapping of voice commands to form fields
    • Handles variations like "email", "mail", "e-mail"
    • Type-specific matching (email fields, password fields, etc.)

Field Matching Algorithm

# Multi-attribute matching
attributes_checked = [
    "name", "id", "placeholder", 
    "aria-label", "class", "type", "textContent"
]

# Field name variations
variations = [
    original_name,
    name_without_spaces,
    name_without_underscores,
    name_with_hyphens
]

# Special type handling
type_specific_matching = {
    "email": ["email", "mail"],
    "password": ["password", "pass"],
    "search": ["search", "query"],
    "phone": ["phone", "tel"]
}

Benefits of the New System

1. Robustness

  • No hardcoded selectors - eliminates brittle dependencies
  • Automatic retry - handles dynamic content and loading delays
  • Multiple strategies - fallback methods ensure high success rate

2. Adaptability

  • Works across websites - adapts to different form structures
  • Real-time discovery - handles dynamically generated forms
  • Intelligent matching - understands field relationships and context

3. User Experience

  • Natural voice commands - users can speak naturally about form fields
  • Reliable operation - consistent behavior across different sites
  • Clear feedback - detailed status messages about what's happening

4. Maintainability

  • Self-discovering - no need to maintain selector databases
  • Extensible design - easy to add new discovery strategies
  • Comprehensive logging - detailed debugging information

Voice Command Examples

The system now handles these natural language commands:

"fill email with john@example.com"
"enter password secret123"
"type hello world in search box"
"add user name John Smith"
"fill in the email field with test@example.com"
"search for python programming"
"enter phone number 1234567890"

Error Handling Improvements

  1. Graceful Degradation: Falls back to simpler methods if advanced ones fail
  2. Detailed Logging: All discovery attempts are logged for debugging
  3. User Feedback: Clear messages about what was attempted and why it failed
  4. Exception Safety: All exceptions are caught and handled gracefully

Testing and Validation

Run the test suite to validate the new functionality:

cd agent-livekit
python test_dynamic_form_filling.py

This tests:

  • Dynamic field discovery on Google and GitHub
  • Retry mechanism with different field names
  • Voice command processing
  • Field matching algorithm accuracy
  • Cross-website compatibility

Future Enhancements

The new architecture enables future improvements:

  1. Machine Learning: Train models to recognize field patterns
  2. Visual Recognition: Use screenshots for element identification
  3. Context Awareness: Understand form relationships and workflows
  4. User Learning: Adapt to user preferences and common patterns

Migration Notes

  • Backward Compatibility: All existing functionality is preserved
  • No Breaking Changes: Existing voice commands continue to work
  • Enhanced Performance: New system is faster and more reliable
  • Improved Accuracy: Better field matching reduces errors

The updated system maintains full backward compatibility while providing significantly enhanced capabilities for dynamic form filling across any website.
