Goals
A goal is the objective you hand the machine — "deploy the landing page to staging". Automata interprets it into a concrete, reviewable objective before any work begins.

How Automata runs work.
Every run follows the same loop — Goal, Plan, Act, Verify, Recover — with a human in command at the gates that matter. Here is the whole model.
The run lifecycle
One loop, every run
01GoalState an objective in plain language.
02PlanAutomata drafts steps and approval gates.
03ActIt drives the browser and runs code.
04VerifyEvery result is checked against the goal.
05RecoverFailures retry or escalate cleanly.
Core concepts
The pieces of a run
Plans
Each goal becomes a step plan with explicit approval gates. You see the whole route before it runs and can edit where humans must sign off.
Act in the browser & code
Automata attaches to a real browser and a code runtime, taking concrete actions — clicking, filling, running scripts — instead of just describing them.
Verification
Results are asserted against the goal: status codes, screenshot diffs, output checks. Nothing is "done" until it is verified, and the evidence is kept as artifacts.
Human-in-the-loop
Approval gates pause a run at the moments that matter. You approve, reject or delegate — keeping a person in command of every consequential action.
Recovery
When a step fails, armed recovery retries with an adjusted strategy or stops cleanly and raises an approval — so a run never silently goes off the rails.
Quickstart
Your first run in four steps
Connect what the run needs
Add the accounts and credentials for the task into the scoped vault. The run only ever sees what you authorize.
Write a goal
Describe the outcome in a sentence. Automata interprets it and proposes a plan with approval gates for you to review.
Approve the plan and launch
Adjust the gates, hit Start Run, and watch the timeline as the machine acts, verifies and recovers.
Review the evidence
Every run leaves screenshots, checks and an audit trail you can browse and export from the dashboard.
