Twenty fields, placed one drag at a time
Every new template starts the same way, by dragging a box onto every blank line in the document.
The same drag and drop, every time
A contract with 20 blanks takes 20 drags. Next quarter the legal team sends a new version. That is 20 more.
With BoldSignOne click marks every blank line the AI finds. See how fields get placed
Long forms are where it hurts
An onboarding pack runs to 40 pages, with signatures and dates buried on nearly all of them. Missing one sends the document back.
With BoldSignThe AI works through every page in a single pass. See the AI place them
Handing a contract to an AI tool feels risky
Legal and IT want to know where the file goes and who reads it. Nobody wants it sitting in somebody else's training data.
With BoldSignNothing from your file is kept or reused. See what happens to your file
How do you add fields to a contract without dragging each one?
With BoldSign, you upload the contract to a new template and click Place Fields with AI. The AI reads the page and places the fields, and you review them before saving.

AI detection or automatic detection: which one runs on your file?
In BoldSign, automatic field detection swaps out the fillable fields a PDF already carries. AI field detection reads a flat document that has none.
| AI field detection | Automatic field detection | |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | A flat PDF or Word file with no fillable fields | A PDF that already carries fillable form fields |
| How it decides | Underlines, boxes, and labels printed on the page | The fillable fields built into the file |
| Where you start it | The Configure fields page of a new template | When you upload the document |
| Good for | Contracts written in Word, or exported to PDF with the text kept | Bank, government, and insurance forms that ship as fillable PDFs |

Questions about AI field detection
Can AI prepare documents for electronic signing?
Yes. AI can read a PDF or Word file and place the fields a signer has to complete. Nobody drags boxes by hand. In BoldSign this runs while you build a template, and you review the fields before saving.
Do you have to switch AI field detection on in settings?
No. BoldSign shows the option as soon as you reach the field setup step of a new template. The plan you are on decides whether you see it.
How do you remove the fields the AI placed?
Right-click any AI-placed field and choose Delete AI Fields. That clears the whole set at once. A single field goes the same way as one you drew yourself. The help article shows each step.
What happens if you run detection twice on the same template?
BoldSign tells you that AI fields already exist before it runs again. You never end up with two sets on one page. Clear the first set if you have replaced the document.
Can the AI place fields for a template with several signers?
Yes. Templates with more than one recipient role are supported. You assign each placed field to the role that has to complete it. The template roles you set up stay in charge of who signs what.

Upload the document, let the AI mark the fields, and send it for signature.
