The business

Customer

Operations teams collecting requests or maintaining records in tools such as Airtable and HubSpot.

Problem

Collecting a response is only the first step when someone must then update a record, route a request or prepare a document.

Founders & origins

Fillout is the forms product of Zite. The company announced its rename from Fillout to Zite on March 9, 2026; the forms product retained the Fillout name.

The Next Chapter: Renaming to Zite

Fillout launched as a form builder in 2022, then added scheduling, payments, approvals and document generation. In March 2026 the founders renamed the parent company Zite after expanding into AI-assisted app building; Fillout continues as its forms product.

The form connects data collection to operational work. Record updates and document generation extend the product beyond collecting responses.

Constraints

Integrations require reliable field mapping, permission handling and recovery when an update fails.
