Automa

Automa is a browser-based automation platform that enables users to build, schedule, and execute repetitive web tasks through a visual, no-code interface. By operating as a browser extension, it provides a canvas-based environment where users construct workflows by connecting functional blocks to interact with web elements, manage browser state, and process data.

The platform distinguishes itself through its deep integration with the browser environment, allowing for complex orchestration such as event-driven triggers, cross-origin request handling, and the ability to package workflows as standalone extensions. It supports sophisticated logic including conditional branching, loop execution, and persistent state management, which allows for the creation of dynamic automation sequences that can handle data extraction, form filling, and multi-step navigation across different websites.

Beyond basic interaction, the system covers a broad range of capabilities including cloud-based spreadsheet synchronization, secure credential management, and proxy configuration for network traffic control. It also facilitates collaboration through a centralized marketplace where users can share, discover, and import pre-built automation templates.

The project is distributed as a browser extension, providing a self-contained environment for designing and running automation tasks directly within the browser.
