UI Automata

UI Automata provides a way to create reliable automated tasks using simple text files called YAML. These tasks are built to work consistently and can fix themselves if something goes wrong, without needing to guess how long something will take. It works with many different types of applications on Windows, including older programs, newer ones, command lines, and web pages.

Benefits

UI Automata makes automation dependable. It ensures that each step in a task has a clear expected result and can handle errors automatically. This means you don't have to worry about automation breaking unexpectedly. It supports many ways to interact with applications, like using built-in accessibility tools, the structure of web pages, or even by looking at the screen like a human would.

Use Cases

This tool is great for automating complex applications that have many layers and elements. It's designed for professional tasks where reliability is very important. Because it works with different types of interfaces, it can automate a wide range of applications on Windows. It can also be used with AI agents, allowing them to explore and control application interfaces more effectively.

Vibes

UI Automata uses a dependable method by looking at the actual elements of an application or its web page structure. This means the automation will work the same way every time, unlike methods that rely only on pictures which can change. It's also much faster and cheaper for each step compared to systems that send images to the cloud for analysis. It can use on-device vision as a backup and works with different AI models, not just one specific type. For web pages, it uses a structured way to access information, which is more detailed than just taking screenshots.
