03 · Automation & remote support

    The signed SOP is the automation. No flowcharts, no step scripts.

    AskUI Operate is a computer-use agent that keeps distributed systems running and supportable in the field: the ERP, the CRM, the MES, the ticketing system, and the legacy tools that will never get an API. State the objective in plain language; the agent sees the screens the way your team does, and leaves a trace.

    Assignment

    What it takes over

    The recurring screen work that keeps delivery, sales, and support teams late.

    Order entryA customer PO arrives as a PDF. The agent enters it in the ERP, line by line, and files the confirmation.
    System syncCRM and ERP disagree about the same customer. The agent reconciles them through the screens: no integration project.
    Quote follow-upOpen quotes chased when due, outcomes logged where sales actually looks.
    Remote supportTickets triaged, standard resolutions performed on the system in the field, the response drafted for a human to send.

    How your team runs it

    From the SOPA work instruction signed in AskUI Document is a procedure the agent can hold. Your SOP library is the automation backlog.
    From plain languageAn objective, stated the way you would brief a colleague: “Create a work order for line 3 and attach the shift report.”
    From codePython and TypeScript SDKs. pip install askui. One call that matters: act() with the objective.
    Roadmap

    Operations console: run history, dashboards, and scheduling exist in AskUI Desktop today; approvals, schedules that survive restarts, and exception routing to a human are the gap. Walkthrough to follow.

    Guardrails

    Trust is earned the way an employee earns it.

    TraceEvery run leaves a screenshot-per-step trace. What the agent did is never a matter of memory.
    ScopeAgents run under scoped accounts with the permissions your IT grants. On-premise or air-gapped, ISO 27001.
    Proof firstProcedures start in AskUI Validate and get promoted once the evidence accumulates. You do not hand an agent a production screen on day one.
