    About AskUI

    Agentic test automation, built for scale.

    We put testers at the center of the next step in technology: plain-language tests, enterprise safeguards, thousands of runs a day.

    Our why

    Testing is stuck.
    We build the way out.

    We'd say we're the next best thing in testing, but testing isn't at its best. Testers babysit regression tests by hand, launches are blocked, and everyone worries about a bug going live or a breach of security rules.

    We build agentic test automation, and scale is at the center of our mission: thousands of tests in hours, across legacy codebases, desktop and mobile apps, automotive infotainment screens, game UIs and even the control screens on tractors. AskUI works with your other testing tools as a connective layer, so teams grow their output and leaders do more with less.

    And we put testers at the center: plain language and enterprise safeguards make testing accessible, and education and certification help the people who write tests level up.

    The idea

    AgentOS still works from the screen alone.

    Does working from the screen alone hold up in public?
