UI Automation Activities

Last updated Dec 20, 2024

Semantic activities

Semantic activities are specifically designed for working with forms, offering a direct and powerful method for data extraction and data input.

These activities allow you to utilize a flexible approach, while the intricate details are handled by our AI and advanced internal components, such as:

  • AI-powered DOM Extraction Engine: It extracts all usable UI elements in the form.
  • Semantic Matching Engine: Adds resilience to your automations by semantically matching text labels, ensuring stability against UI changes.
  • Semantic Targeting and Execution Engine: Eliminates traditional selector-based challenges, enabling seamless targeting and execution without the usual complexity and resilience issues related to using selectors.

This section includes the following activities:

Language support

Currently, only English is supported. We will list the availability of other languages as soon as we extend our support to include more languages.

AI units consumption

Each Semantic activity consumes one AI unit per request.

Each request made to Extract Form Data, Fill Form, and Set Value consumes one AI unit by default.

The Close Popup activity consume one AI unit per request only when the AI-Enhanced mode toggle button is enabled. In this case, each close action via AI consumes one AI unit. When the toggle button is disabled, the activity does not consume any AI units.

The AI unit consumption can be monitored using the Tenant level AI units consumption dashboard in Insights. Until 2025.4, the Semantic activities metric is rendered as Semantic Activities (promo), and covers the number of AI units that you utilize, but are not charged for. You can monitor this dashboard to forecast your AI units consumption for Semantic activities after 2025.4.

Starting with version 2024.10.6 and until 2025.4, Semantic activities are available free of charge to both Community and Enterprise customers, including those without AI Units purchased. This promotional period aims to encourage adoption and build customer confidence in the feature's quality. Beginning with version 2025.4, the consumption of AI Units applies as described, ensuring seamless continuity and transparency for all users.
