- 10/30 Public alpha is live - n8n for data entry automation in legacy systems
- 09/26 Terminator was on Cohere Labs podcast, also check the slides
- 08/25 Big release — NodeJS SDK in YAML workflows, run JS in browser, OS event recording → YAML generation in MCP, and more
- 08/25 we raised $2.8m to give AI hands to every desktop ⚠
AI-first data entry automation in legacy systems
- Create automations that work across any desktop app or browser
- Runs 100x faster than ChatGPT Agents, Claude, Perplexity Comet, BrowserBase, BrowserUse
- >95% success rate without costly consultant armies (UIPath, Automation Anywhere)
- MIT-licensed — fork it, ship it, no lock-in
We achieve this by pre-training workflows as deterministic code, and calling AI only when recovery is needed.
Our public beta workflow builder + managed hosting = n8n for data entry automation in legacy systems:
- Record & map your processes in 5 mins
- Deploy AI to execute them at >95% success rate
- Kill repetitive work without legacy RPA complexity or cost
Install the Terminator MCP in Claude Code:
claude mcp add terminator "npx -y terminator-mcp-agent@latest" -s userOr install via the MCP directory for other clients (Cursor, VS Code, etc.).
What this does: Gives AI assistants the ability to control your desktop and automate tasks across any application.
To create workflows, please download the desktop app.
While Terminator aims for full cross-platform support, current capabilities vary by OS. Windows is the primary development target and has the most complete feature set.

To create reliable selectors (e.g. name:Seven, role:Button, window:Calculator), you need to inspect the Accessibility Tree of your OS. Here's how to explore UI elements on each platform:
- Tool: Accessibility Insights for Windows
- Alt: Inspect.exe (comes with Windows SDK)
- Usage: Open the app you want to inspect → launch Accessibility Insights → hover or use keyboard navigation to explore the UI tree (Name, Role, ControlType, AutomationId).
These tools show you the
Name,Role,ControlType, and other metadata used in Terminator selectors.
- Tool: Accessibility Inspector
- Usage: Comes with Xcode → Open
Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Accessibility Inspector→ Use the target icon to explore UI elements on screen.
-
Tool: Accerciser
-
Install:
sudo apt install accerciser
-
Usage: Launch Accerciser → Select the window/app → Browse the accessible widget tree.
