# AskUI

> AskUI lets teams automate any device in plain English: an AI agent runs the task on the real device, desktop, web, mobile, or hardware with nothing installed on it, and hands back a report with a verdict and a screenshot for every step. Teams use it for testing, documentation generation, and operations.

A task is a Markdown file in your own Git repository; no selectors, no scripts. The desktop app covers write, run, schedule and prove (tests, plans, prompts, device pairing, live runs, a pass-rate dashboard, tools/MCP, encrypted secrets, built-in Git), and the CLI runs the same engine headless in CI. Surfaces reach from desktop, browser and mobile to several machines driven by one agent and to hardware controlled with nothing installed (HDMI capture plus USB/Bluetooth HID). Plans are sales-led and quoted per organization after a scoping conversation; every evaluation starts with a trial inside your organization. Bring your own model at no inference fee. ISO 27001 certified; on-premise and air-gapped deployment; screenshots never train models. Last updated: 2026-07-29.

## Core pages

- [AskUI - reach any device from text, CSV, or Claude](https://www.askui.com/): The agentic platform for delivery teams: validate before handover, document every run as evidence, operate what you shipped. Write a task in plain text, a CSV, or straight from Claude via MCP and skills; an AI agent runs it on the real device and hands you a report with a verdict and a screenshot for every step. Used for validation, documentation generation, and operation, RPA replacement on SAP and vendor portals, agents driving real manufacturing devices over their HMIs, and remote support sessions that debug systems in the field. No selectors, no scripts, every task is a Markdown file in your Git repo. Surfaces: desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), web, Android, iOS simulators, several machines driven by one agent, and hardware with nothing installed on it (HDMI capture plus USB control). Plans are sales-led: scoped and quoted per organization, with a trial inside your environment to start.
- [AskUI platform - one app: write, run, schedule, prove](https://www.askui.com/platform): What ships in AskUI Desktop: Markdown tests in a file tree, plans that group tests into suites, prompts that describe your app, device pairing (desktop, browser, Android, iOS simulators, several machines at once), live runs you can watch and cancel, agent monitoring with pass rate over time, scheduled runs, built-in tools (SQL, HTTP, shell) plus custom tools and MCP servers, OS-encrypted secrets redacted from transcripts, built-in Git, and a choice of model (AskUI-routed, Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, self-hosted). The CLI runs the same engine headless in CI.
- [AskUI pricing - one metric, the concurrent agent](https://www.askui.com/pricing): Sales-led plans scoped per organization: Team (one delivery unit, starts with a requested trial) and Enterprise (on-premise or air-gapped, own model with no inference fee, SSO and audit trail). Quotes in writing after a scoping conversation.
- [Downloads - AskUI products for your organization](https://www.askui.com/start): Downloads for client teams: AskUI Desktop for Windows or macOS, the AgentOS Windows service installer, and the CLI for CI. Four steps: install, describe your app, run a task, move it to CI. Evaluating? Request a trial on the plans page.
- [Downloads - AskUI products for your organization](https://www.askui.com/download): Downloads for client teams: AskUI Desktop for Windows or macOS, the AgentOS Windows service installer, and the CLI for CI, configured for your organization.
- [AskUI blog](https://www.askui.com/blog): Engineering notes, agentic testing guides, benchmark write-ups, and release announcements.
- [AskUI customer case studies](https://www.askui.com/case-studies): Measured production results: Deutsche Bahn (80% less testing time on Android POS), SEW Eurodrive (30 system tests on industrial software), FICUS Health (70% time saved on legacy hospital systems), Zucchetti (130+ automated tests on canvas-based apps).
- [Web UI test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/web): The agent tests what is rendered, not the DOM. Canvas apps and selector churn stop breaking your suite.
- [Android test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/android): Plain-English tests on real Android devices, from one handset to POS fleets in CI.
- [iOS test automation (experimental)](https://www.askui.com/solutions/ios): Automate iOS interfaces with the same plain-English workflow. iOS support is experimental and runs through idb on macOS.
- [macOS test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/macos): AgentOS runs natively on macOS. One agent tests apps, dialogs, and multi-app workflows.
- [Windows and Citrix test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/windows): Legacy apps, Citrix, multi-window workflows. The agent tests what it sees; the stack underneath stops mattering.
- [QNX HMI test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/qnx): HDMI capture in, actions out. The QNX target stays untouched: no instrumentation on the device.
- [Embedded HMI test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/embedded-hmi): Infotainment, machine panels, SCADA. If it has a display, the agent can test it, without installing anything on it.
- [Device-fleet test automation](https://www.askui.com/solutions/device-fleets): Pair each device once. Run the same test across OEM variants, OS versions, and form factors.
- [About AskUI](https://www.askui.com/about): Company background, team, and the industries AskUI serves with agentic test automation.

- [AskUI enterprise - on-premise, air-gapped, your own model](https://www.askui.com/enterprise): Four deployment shapes: hub, hub with your own model provider, licence-key activation that never contacts the hub, and fully on-premise with unmetered agents and Companion Mode hardware control. Credentials are OS-encrypted and write-only, each secret carries an agent-visible flag, and values are redacted from run transcripts. AgentOS runs as a Windows SYSTEM service with RDP disconnect recovery and logon-screen automation. ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, never trained on your data.
