The useful parts. The trade-offs.

Why consider it

Can automate software without an API

Visual workflows make desktop steps inspectable

What to keep in mind

Dependent on stable user interfaces

Windows runtime and credential management are required

How to use it well

Record or construct a small workflow around a stable application screen, then replace fragile assumptions with explicit checks. Test it using different input values and window states before allowing it to process a larger batch of records.

Keep a human review point around consequential operations until the workflow is well understood. The MPL-licensed client is separate from orchestration hosting and commercial support. Document application versions, credentials and recovery steps so a UI change can be diagnosed instead of silently producing incorrect results.
