Congrats on the launch! I've tried building a windows automation script myself but found existing solutions quite cumbersome booking appointments and fetching information on a desktop SMS.

Can I monitor/manage this remotely? I'm not on site with the client and previously tried to manage through AnyDesk but the client often turned off the machine.

Also is there anyway to run this so that it won't interrupt workflows while someone is using the machine? I imagine a solution could just be having the client run an extra computer that's dedicated for this or running after hours on the local machine.

Thanks for scheduling a demo! Looking forward to chatting soon.

You can definitely monitor this remotely by looking at the logs of the runs which includes screenshots, but we don't currently support live streaming of the desktop screen. Our customers usually do that via RDP which is usually straightforward.

Because our agent directly controls the keyboard, mouse, and display, it needs exclusive access (no concurrent users). Our customer typically run it on either a dedicated spare desktop at the client site or a dedicated cloud VM (managed by them or provisioned by us)
