Computer-Use / No-API Automation
Every operation has one: the legacy ERP, the government portal, the vendor system with no API — so a person re-types data into it all day because 'it can't be integrated.' Until now, that was true.
What can be automated in computer-use / no-api automation? With current AI and integration tooling: driving the interface directly: navigating screens, entering validated data, extracting results; bridging no-api systems into your modern workflow platform as ordinary steps; batch work against portals (submissions, lookups, downloads) on schedule; screenshot-and-log evidence of every action taken. What should remain under human control: approval of anything the agent submits externally (configurable per portal); handling of unexpected screens — the agent stops and asks rather than guessing; the decision to keep or retire the legacy system (we'll give you the honest math on both). Olyra implements this with confidence scoring, audit logging, and human-review gates matched to risk.
What this work looks like today
The unlucky team members assigned to the old system; IT, who has explained 'it has no API' a hundred times.
Legacy ERPs and AS/400-era systems, insurer and government portals, vendor platforms without integration options, Citrix/remote-desktop apps.
Measured before we touch anything: Re-keying hours removed · Error rate vs manual entry · Cycle time on portal-bound processes
What gets automated — and what stays human
Automated (with logging):
- Driving the interface directly: navigating screens, entering validated data, extracting results
- Bridging no-API systems into your modern workflow platform as ordinary steps
- Batch work against portals (submissions, lookups, downloads) on schedule
- Screenshot-and-log evidence of every action taken
Stays under human control:
- Approval of anything the agent submits externally (configurable per portal)
- Handling of unexpected screens — the agent stops and asks rather than guessing
- The decision to keep or retire the legacy system (we'll give you the honest math on both)
How value and risk are managed
What we baseline and track
Re-keying hours removed · Error rate vs manual entry · Cycle time on portal-bound processes · Coverage of previously unautomatable systems
Risks designed for
Slower and more brittle than API integration by nature — so we use it only where no API exists, wrap it in validation and stop-and-ask rules, and monitor every run. When a real API appears, we switch to it.
Typical implementation path: One system, one workflow, two-week pilot with full action logs; API integration always preferred where it exists. Implementation follows the Olyra 120: pilot on real historical volume, parallel run, then measured cutover.
