"17 years ago, I wrote a book on Web Form Design that started with "Forms suck." Fast forward to today and the sentiment still holds true. No one likes filling in forms but forms remain ubiquitous because they force people to provide information in the way it's stored within the database of an application. You know the drill: First Name, Last Name, Address Line 2, State abbreviation, and so on."
"With AgentDB connected to an AI model (via an MCP server), a person can simply say "add this" and provide an image, PDF, audio, video, you name it. The model will use AgentDB's template to decide what information to extract from this unstructured input and how to format it for the database. In the case where something is missing or incomplete, the model can ask for clarification or use tools (like search) to find possible answers."
Web forms require people to format their input to match database structures, creating friction for users. AI models can accept unstructured inputs and perform the mapping work that forms used to force onto people. Dynamic context systems and templating (for example, AgentDB templates) provide instructions that guide AI models on what fields to extract and how to format them. Connecting AgentDB to an AI model via an MCP server enables users to submit images, PDFs, audio, or video and have the model populate database fields. The model can request clarification or use external tools to fill missing information.
