Introduction
UI.Vision RPA (formerly Kantu) automates websites and desktop applications with macros, JavaScript or an AI assistant. It runs as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox and records and replays interactions using Selenium IDE-style commands, so it works as a lightweight web testing tool.
Where HTML selectors are not enough, it can find on-screen text with OCR and locate controls by image. Desktop automation requires extra components called XModules. The README also describes an MCP server that lets AI agents create, edit and run reusable macros in your browser.
For website testing, the README lists record and replay, Selenium IDE commands and data-driven checks with different inputs. Macros can be run from the command line for CI-style use.
In the quality loop it suits quick, codeless end-to-end checks and visual automation.
The source code is at A9T9/RPA on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 (with a commercial licence option) licence, with about 2,100 stars; the most recent commit was on 21 September 2026.
