The act() command lets you describe what you want to achieve in natural language, and the AI agent figures out how to do it.

​
Basic Usage

from askui import VisionAgent

with VisionAgent() as agent:
    agent.tools.webbrowser.open_new("https://docs.askui.com")
    agent.wait(3)  # Wait for page to load

    agent.act("open the search field and search for agentic mode")

​

  • Quickly prototype an automation
  • Handle complex multi-step workflows
  • Work with UIs that change frequently
