How to Set Up VeloFill for Surveys (Step-by-Step)
Getting started with online survey autofill and quiz automation using VeloFill is straightforward. Follow these steps to prepare your extension for seamless survey and quiz completion:
Step 1: Install VeloFill and Set Up LLM Connection
First, ensure you have the VeloFill browser extension installed. You can find it on the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or Edge Add-ons. Follow our detailed installation guide for step-by-step instructions.
After installation, you’ll need to configure a connection to an AI language model (LLM) to power VeloFill’s form analysis. Follow our LLM configuration guide to set up your preferred provider (OpenAI, local models with Ollama, or other OpenAI-compatible endpoints).
Step 2: Create Dedicated Knowledge Bases
The type of information you need for surveys varies greatly depending on the survey’s purpose. Instead of one generic knowledge base, consider creating multiple specialized knowledge bases tailored to different survey types.
- Open the VeloFill options page (usually by right-clicking the VeloFill icon and selecting “Options”).
- Navigate to the “Knowledge Bases” section.
- Click “Add New Knowledge Base” and create specialized bases for your needs.

Step 2: Activate VeloFill
- Click the VeloFill extension icon in your browser toolbar.
- From the dropdown, select your “My Survey Data” knowledge base.
- Click the “Analyze Form” button.
Step 3: Review and Submit VeloFill will instantly populate all identifiable fields on the survey or quiz form using the data from your knowledge base. Take a moment to quickly review the pre-filled information to ensure everything is correct, especially for sensitive or context-dependent questions. Once satisfied, you can proceed to submit the survey or quiz.
Practical Tips for Different Survey and Quiz Questions
While VeloFill excels at filling standard fields, here are some tips for handling various question types found in surveys and quizzes:
- Multiple Choice & Checkboxes: VeloFill will intelligently select options that match the data in your knowledge base. Ensure your knowledge base entries are clear and concise for the best matching.
- Unique or Open-Ended Questions: For questions requiring subjective answers or specific details not in your knowledge base, VeloFill will leave these blank by default. This allows you to focus your attention and provide thoughtful, manual responses where they matter most. However, you can also instruct VeloFill to fill these questions by providing context or using the temporary context feature for one-time answers.
- Using the “Temporary Context” Feature: If a survey asks for information you don’t want to save permanently (e.g., a one-time project code), you can use VeloFill’s temporary context feature to provide that information without adding it to your main knowledge base. See the usage guide for more advanced features.
