Buckets: Never Retype the Same Information Again

The Repetitive Data Entry Problem

You're creating your third invoice this month. Once again, you're typing out your client's company name, address, contact information, and tax ID. You typed this exact same information on the last two invoices. Why are you doing this again?

Or you're tailoring your resume for another job application. You need to include your experience at TechCorp, but you already wrote about it in your last resume. Now you're either retyping it from memory or—more likely—opening the old document, copying the text, and pasting it into the new one. There has to be a better way.

The problem isn't just the wasted time. It's the inconsistency. Did you call yourself a "Senior Developer" or "Lead Developer" last time? Was the project timeline "2022-2023" or "Jan 2022 - Dec 2023"? Every time you retype or rephrase, you risk introducing inconsistencies that make you look unprofessional.

What Are Buckets?

Buckets are your personal data library in DocMiral. Each MiniApp has its own bucket that remembers every piece of data you've ever entered through it. Think of buckets as the memory system that makes DocMiral intelligent about your information.

When you fill out a customer information section in an invoice, that data goes into the "customer info" bucket. When you add a work experience to your resume, it goes into the "work experience" bucket. Every time you enter information, DocMiral remembers it and makes it available for future use.

How It Works: Invoice Example

Let's say you're a freelancer who regularly invoices three different clients. Here's what happens:

1. First Invoice: You create an invoice for Client A. You fill out their company name, address, contact person, email, and tax ID. This information is saved to your "customer info" bucket.
2. Second Invoice: Next week, you need to invoice Client B. You enter their information—it's also saved to your bucket. Now you have two clients in your bucket.
3. Third Invoice: Time to invoice Client A again. Instead of retyping everything, you open the customer info section and see a list: Client A and Client B. You select Client A, and all their information instantly fills in. Done in seconds.

No retyping. No copy-pasting. No risk of typos or inconsistencies. Your bucket remembers, and you just select.

How It Works: Resume Example

Now imagine you're applying to multiple jobs, each requiring a slightly different resume focus. Over time, you've entered 10 different work experiences across various resume versions:

• Software Engineer at TechCorp (focused on backend development)
• Software Engineer at TechCorp (focused on team leadership)
• Software Engineer at TechCorp (focused on data science projects)
• Junior Developer at StartupXYZ
• Freelance Consultant - E-commerce Project
• Freelance Consultant - Mobile App Development
• ...and 4 more variations

All of these are saved in your "work experience" bucket. When you create a new resume:

• For a data science position? Select the TechCorp experience that emphasizes data science and your relevant freelance projects.
• For a leadership role? Choose the version that highlights team management and project leadership.
• For a startup role? Pick experiences that showcase versatility and startup experience.

You're mixing and matching from your personal library of experiences, creating perfectly tailored resumes without writing anything new each time.

One Bucket Per MiniApp

Here's the elegant design: each MiniApp has its own dedicated bucket. A resume template might use four MiniApps:

• Personal Information MiniApp → Has a bucket with your contact details, addresses, and social profiles
• Work Experience MiniApp → Has a bucket with all your job entries, achievements, and projects
• Education MiniApp → Has a bucket with your degrees, certifications, and courses
• Skills MiniApp → Has a bucket with all skills you've listed across documents

Each bucket grows over time as you create more documents and enter more variations. Your data library becomes richer, and creating new documents becomes faster.

TARS: AI That Knows Your Buckets

Here's where it gets powerful: TARS, your AI assistant, has full access to your buckets. This means TARS can intelligently pull from your stored data based on context.

Want to create a resume for a senior engineering role? Just ask TARS:

TARS looks through your work experience bucket, identifies the entries that highlight leadership and data science, and automatically populates your resume with the right experiences. You don't even need to manually select—TARS knows what you've stored and picks intelligently.

Creating an invoice for a returning client? Tell TARS:

TARS pulls Acme Corp's information from your customer bucket, fills it in, and you just need to add the specific project details and amounts.

Beyond Manual Selection: Smart Reuse

Buckets aren't just about manually selecting from saved data. They enable smart patterns:

Automatic Suggestions: When you start typing a client name that matches something in your bucket, DocMiral can suggest the full entry. Type "Acme..." and it offers to complete with "Acme Corporation" including all stored details.

Variations and Versions: Keep multiple versions of the same thing. Three different ways you've described your role at TechCorp for different contexts—all saved, all available.

Consistency Across Documents: Your personal contact information is exactly the same on every resume, proposal, and document because it's all pulled from the same bucket entry.

The Compound Effect

Here's the magic: the more you use DocMiral, the more valuable your buckets become. Your first invoice takes normal time—you have to enter client information from scratch. Your tenth invoice? Instant. Your first resume requires writing all your experiences. Your fifth resume? You're selecting from a rich library and creating tailored versions in minutes.

Over time, creating new documents becomes almost trivial because you're no longer creating from scratch—you're composing from your personal data library.

Your Data, Always Available

Buckets are tied to your account, not to individual documents. This means your data follows you across all your documents and templates. The work experience you entered in a resume? Available when creating a portfolio. The client information from an invoice? Ready when you create a proposal for the same client.

It's your personal, ever-growing library of reusable information that makes document creation exponentially faster over time.
