# 0.1 Document automation
## Let's first understand what automation is.
How do you currently create your documents? If you haven't discovered automation yet, chances are your current process consists of manually filling in the blanks in a template document.
If you are nodding your head, we are convinced that automating your documents will save you time (up to 90%!) and money, as well as avoiding human errors. Do you think it’s possible? We tell you how below.
***Automating a document*** means that as we fill out the form, the words will be placed in the corresponding spaces within a document.
🎯 Bigle Legal streamlines the process of managing documents.
Does this automation sound Chinese to you? We hope this guide serves to answer all your questions.
