AskUI

AskUI

AskUI lets delivery teams automate real devices in plain English. You write a task as a Markdown file in Git, an AI agent runs it on desktop, web, mobile, or hardware displays, and returns a verdict plus a screenshot for every step.

Traditional test automation depends on DOM selectors and brittle scripts that break when UIs change. AskUI tests what is rendered on screen, including canvas apps, Citrix sessions, and QNX HMIs controlled through HDMI capture with nothing installed on the target. The trade-off is sales-led pricing quoted per concurrent agent after a scoping call, not self-serve monthly plans.

QA teams replace manual regression on legacy SAP portals and vendor RFQ systems. Automotive manufacturers run HMI regression across infotainment fleets. Operations teams generate audit evidence with screenshot-backed run reports from scheduled agent jobs.

Top Features:
  1. Tasks are Markdown files in Git with no selectors or traditional test scripts

  2. Agent runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, web, Android, and iOS simulators from one desktop app

  3. Hardware HMI testing via HDMI capture and USB control with zero software on the target device

  4. Each run returns a verdict and screenshot for every step as audit evidence

  5. CLI runs the same agent engine headless in CI pipelines

  6. Bring your own model with no inference fee on Enterprise deployments

  7. ISO 27001 certified with on-premise and air-gapped deployment options

Pros:
  1. Plain-English Markdown tasks eliminate selector maintenance on changing UIs.

  2. Tests rendered output on canvas apps, Citrix, and hardware HMIs without DOM access.

  3. Screenshot-backed reports for every step support audit and compliance evidence.

  4. CLI and Desktop share one engine for local runs and headless CI.

  5. ISO 27001 certified with on-premise and air-gapped enterprise options.

Cons:
  1. Pricing requires a sales scoping conversation with no public monthly rates.

  2. iOS automation is experimental and runs through idb on macOS only.

  3. Concurrent agent licensing may limit parallel test execution on smaller Team plans.

FAQs:

What is AskUI used for?

AskUI automates validation, documentation generation, and operations on real devices. Teams write tasks in plain English as Markdown files, and an AI agent executes them on desktop, web, mobile, or hardware HMIs.

How does AskUI pricing work?

AskUI pricing is sales-led and quoted per concurrent agent after a scoping conversation. Team plans cover one delivery unit with a trial inside your organization. Enterprise adds on-premise deployment, SSO, and audit trails.

Does AskUI require test scripts?

No. AskUI tasks are Markdown files stored in your Git repository. The agent interprets plain-English instructions and tests what appears on screen rather than relying on DOM selectors.

Can AskUI test embedded HMIs?

Yes. AskUI controls hardware displays through HDMI capture and USB or Bluetooth HID input without installing software on QNX, SCADA, or infotainment targets.

Is AskUI available on-premise?

Yes. AskUI Enterprise supports on-premise and air-gapped deployments with unmetered agents, licence-key activation, and Companion Mode hardware control. ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.

Who founded AskUI?

AskUI is operated by askui GmbH headquartered at Zimmerstraße 3, 76137 Karlsruhe, Germany. Customer case studies include Deutsche Bahn, SEW Eurodrive, and FICUS Health.
