Python SDK

AskUI Python SDK is a Python toolkit for building AI agents that control desktop, mobile and HMI interfaces. It supports visual targeting of interface elements and both direct UI commands and intent-based agent instructions.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when an agent needs to act through a graphical interface, such as automating an application or testing a UI, rather than relying only on application APIs.

Who it is for

  • Python developers building agents to operate desktop applications.
  • Teams automating or testing mobile app interfaces.
  • Developers building RPA workflows or agents for HMI interactions.

Documented uses

  • Find interface elements by visible text, images or natural-language descriptions.
  • Issue high-level instructions or direct actions such as typing and clicking.
  • Extract information from screens and extend agent behavior with custom tools.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The SDK requires Python 3.10 or later. Its README documents `pip install askui` and says AskUI signup provides a free trial without a credit card, along with a workspace ID and access token.

  • Desktop platforms named in the README are Windows, macOS and Linux; the feature list names Android, while the opening description also names iOS. Consult platform-specific documentation when selecting a mobile target.
  • Agents require a model provider. The README names AskUI, Anthropic, OpenRouter and Hugging Face, and describes support for custom providers.
  • The minimal installation is presented for everyday automation; optional extras can be added for particular integrations, or installed together with askui[all].
  • The repository identifies the SDK as MIT-licensed.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up AskUI credentials for the ComputerAgent example

Prepare the documented AskUI model-provider credentials and environment variables used by the example agent.

Before you start

  • Python 3.10 or later
  • AskUI workspace ID and access token, obtained by signing up at hub.askui.com
  • A connection to an AI model provider

Steps

  1. Install the SDK with the command below.

    Documented command
    pip install askui

  2. Sign up with AskUI to obtain a workspace ID and access token.

  3. Set ASKUI_WORKSPACE_ID and ASKUI_TOKEN in the shell environment; use the README's Linux/macOS or Windows PowerShell examples.

  4. Use the ComputerAgent example in the README as the next step.

Expected outcome

The documented credentials are configured for the AskUI-provider ComputerAgent example.

Guide limitations

  • This recipe covers installation and credential setup only; it does not claim that an agent run has been verified.
  • The example requires access to an AI model provider. The README describes a free trial without a credit card for AskUI signup; terms may change.
