Automates user interface interactions such as clicks, form inputs, or tab navigation.
Drives an application through its interface — clicking, typing, navigating — when no API exists. The last resort of integration, and sometimes the only one available.
Legacy or vendor systems with no programmatic interface, where the alternative is a person doing the same clicking.
Anywhere an API exists. UI automation is brittle by construction and breaks on cosmetic changes the vendor considers trivial.
The agent operates as some user, so its actions carry that user's identity in the target system's audit trail. That identity must be a distinguishable service account, not a person's login, or the audit record becomes false.
Silent breakage after a UI change, where the agent clicks something in the expected position that is now a different control.
Extracting balances from an acquired subsidiary's legacy ERP that offers no integration path, pending migration.
Two different absences share this shape. Foundational solutions get built whatever the domain, so no domain links them; the rest are solutions this domain genuinely does not reach for. v_ai_solutions_unlinked separates the two.
