24 alternatives to RobotActions

We build RobotActions, a cloud device farm for Android/iOS testing. We just shipped a Chat AI Agent that lives inside the live device session. What it does: - During a session, you can ask "What's the XPath for this button?" and get a ready-to-use locator from the current screen - Ask "Write an Appium test for this flow" → get test code generated from the live accessibility tree - Type "tap the login button" in natural language → it executes on the real device - Ask "Why is my test failing on this element?" → gets context from both vision and the accessibility snapshot The agent uses a…

    Hi HN — I’m Kimi, founder of Aident AI. A couple years ago, I cold-started a startup and tried to automate my outreach pipeline with a patchwork: RPA + Zapier + "just some ChatGPT". It worked… until it didn’t. Every time I tweaked the strategy, the automation snapped. The system wasn’t built for change — it was built for wiring. And that’s when it hit me: AI is finally smart enough to do real work, but we still don’t have a clean way to communicate the work to it: Drag-and-drop flows are too rigid; Scripts are too fragile; Prompts are too ephemeral. I kept thinking: why can’t automation be…

    I built an AI agent that can do mobile app QA after working at Google for years and waiting weeks for QA results. It runs on real devices and uses an ensemble of agents (including computer use) to test like a human. Happy to answer questions and hope it helps app devs ship faster without bugs!

    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

    Hey HN, I’ve been building Atom (https://github.com/rush86999/atom), an open-source, self-hosted AI automation platform. I built this because while tools like OpenClaw are excellent for one-off scripts and personal tasks, I found them difficult to use for complex business workflows (e.g., managing invoices or SaaS ops). The main issue was State Blindness: the agent would fire a command and assume it worked, without "seeing" if the UI or state actually updated. I just shipped a new architecture to solve this called Canvas AI Accessibility. The Technical Concept: Instead of…

    Write a task in plain English. An AI agent runs it on a simulator on your Mac and tells you if a real user could complete it. Save the successful run as a regression check you can replay later.

    Hi HN! I want to share our latest project at NEXA AI. We developed AI agent foundation models designed to transform how developers create AI agent powered apps. One major challenge we've observed with current human-computer interactions is that many simple, one-step tasks become unnecessarily complex, multi-step workflows due to limitations of current GUIs. AI agents can solve this, but existing AI agent models are slow and costly. To tackle these issues, we built lightweight AI agent models based on our Octopus V2, small language models for function calling (You can learn more about our…

    Hey everyone, I made this thing: https://tryflux.ai/. Here's a demo video: https://screen.studio/share/1y2EnC26 Context: I've tried probably 15 different AI apps over the past year. ChatGPT, note-taking apps, productivity apps, all of it. But most of them are just clutter on my iphone. They live in some app I have to deliberately open. And I just... don't. But you know what I open 50 times a day without thinking? iMessage. So out of mild frustration with the "AI app graveyard" on my phone, I built Flux. What it does: - You describe a personality and what…

    I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

    What's up HN! This is Jared and Art. We met on HN and started building together. Over the last few months we've been thinking a lot about how AI agents are going to impact the future. We want agents to be something that's actually useful for normal people as well as the 10x'ers. This lead us to building Meha over the last few months, our first swing at our vision! We saw OpenAI release Operators then we said f*k it let's post. Meha is a desktop app that uses your Chrome browser to execute tasks in the background. It controls your installed Chrome browser and uses LLMs with playwright to plan…
