Key Fields
FIELD STAMPS🔧 Workflow
Use the AskUI visual recognition model daily to record operational workflows of client ERP or desktop software, feed screenshots and click coordinates to the agent to generate automation scripts, and output repeatable RPA bots. Clients only need to provide accounts and business scenarios. The input consists of business operation screen recordings or text descriptions sent by clients, and the output is an automated agent deployed in the client environment, which automatically completes repetitive operations such as data entry, report export, and cross-system copy-pasting every day. The workflow iterates on a weekly basis, with visual anchors and fault-tolerant branches fine-tuned based on client acceptance feedback after each delivery.
🛠 Setup Requirements
Requires subscribing to the AskUI Enterprise version or self-hosting open-source visual models like OpenClaw with Python scripts. Master basic computer vision and RPA toolchains, and you can take on orders after successfully running a client workflow in the first week. For technical capabilities, you need to be able to read returned coordinates of element detection and write simple conditional judgments; no deep machine learning background is required. Toolchain setup includes installing the AskUI Desktop client, Python SDK, and a virtual machine or sandbox environment for testing. Total preparation time is about one to two weeks.

💰 Revenue
① Delivery of legacy system and ERP process automation (Main revenue): Charge project service fees based on process complexity, 3,000-8,000 RMB per single process. Repeat clients will continuously repurchase multiple processes. Personal accounts claim a monthly income of about 30,000 RMB, reaching over 50,000 RMB in peak seasons (case claim, yet to be independently verified). Calculated for peak seasons, this requires delivering 7-17 processes per month (estimated value). The exact proportion of this segment in the total revenue is not specified. ② Annual maintenance contract subscription: Clients pay an annual maintenance fee. The exact annual fee is not disclosed, though the case mentions some clients pay extra, with the revenue proportion impossible to verify (anecdotal case, cannot be verified externally). ③ Licensing visual agents per seat or device: Priced by seat or device count, a single set of agent logic can be compatible with the interfaces of 10 different OEM manufacturers. Case claims maintenance costs for test cases are reduced by about 70% (case material, verification records missing). License unit price, number of units sold, and proportion of revenue all lack figures. ④ Opportunity item—providing visual RPA subscriptions and on-premise deployment authorization for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises: Pricing and revenue share are currently blank.
💸 Cost
Tool subscriptions and API calls cost about 200 to 500 RMB per month. The AskUI trial version can cover the first month of validation, and paid plans priced by enterprise seats need to be shared with clients. Cloud server costs incurred from remote debugging are about 100 RMB per month.
⏱ Time Investment
Dedicate 2 to 3 hours per day, mainly switching between client requirement communication, process recording, and exception fixing. Schedule a fixed half-day each week for new client demonstrations, and use the rest of the time to handle batch script adjustments via asynchronous messaging.
🚀 Getting Started
First, register for the AskUI trial version, connect to a free ERP demonstration environment, record the complete process from login to report export, create a case study video, and post it on Upwork or domestic platforms like Zhubajie to secure your first order. The first step for beginners is to chat with financial personnel in three to four small and medium-sized trading or manufacturing enterprises to identify their most hated repetitive operations, and then make a targeted demonstration video. Order acquisition channels can also include using LinkedIn to search for companies using older versions of SAP or UFIDA U8, and directly messaging their IT heads.
🔑 Keys to Success
- ✅ Visual recognition replacing APIs enables automation even for legacy systems
- ✅ Charge by number of processes rather than hourly rates
- ✅ Verify model accuracy using real ERP operations
- ✅ Choose legacy systems without APIs as a niche market
- ✅ Insist on manual acceptance as the quality judge for agents, avoiding blind full automation
⚠️ 风险
- ⚠️ Client system redesigns cause visual scripts to fail, requiring frequent maintenance
- ⚠️ Network latency of overseas tools like AskUI affects user experience for domestic clients
- ⚠️ Client concerns over data security make them reluctant to authorize AI to operate production systems
- ⚠️ Open-source visual models have unstable recognition on low-resolution legacy interfaces
- ⚠️ Some clients demand source code on-premise deployment, which is difficult for individuals to support with customized development
📌 Real Cases
- 📌 German company AskUI partnered with Kertos to automatically complete data compliance operations and repetitive clicks through visual agents, reducing human intervention and improving audit efficiency, with annual contracts reaching hundreds of thousands of Euros.
- 📌 In the zero-shot multi-OEM interface testing case demonstrated by AskUI, the same agent logic adapted to UIs from 10 different hardware manufacturers, reducing test case maintenance costs by approximately 70%.
- 📌 AskUI officially provides a trial environment where users can record and playback desktop software workflows in its sandbox. According to its solution page description, delivery teams can complete the deployment of their first legacy system automation within an average of two weeks.
