Automation Skill Builder
visualbuildm · 2026-06-25 · via Hacker News - Newest: "AI"

Local-first AI automation platform

visualbuild.me · Automation Skill Builder

Record once. Run forever — no AI required at runtime.

Use AI to capture and structure your workflows. What runs is pure logic — deterministic, local-first, and reusable across every assistant.

  • Works with Cursor, Claude & Copilot
  • Windows & macOS
  • No cloud dependency at runtime
  • Skills exposed as standard MCP tools

Design time

Quick demo

See ASB in action

Watch: fetch Amazon iPhone prices into a CSV file — recorded in ASB, compiled into a reusable skill, zero manual steps.

Compatible with

  • Cursor
  • Claude
  • GitHub Copilot
  • Cline
  • Any MCP client

20 min

A 12-step SAP data export — recorded, packaged, and invokable in under 20 minutes

3 run modes

Standalone executables, AI-callable skills, and scheduled jobs — one build, same execution

0 cloud calls

Core automation runs fully offline — no API key needed at runtime

WHY ASB

The automation gap, solved

AI can think, but can't operate your apps

Models reason about tasks, yet they cannot click, type, or drive your desktop without a bridge.

Traditional RPA is powerful, but brittle

Classic RPA is heavy to build, fragile when UI changes, and expensive to maintain.

Simpler, smarter, reusable

Package workflows into AI-callable skills through MCP — the same path as Cursor and other assistants.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Everything your automation needs

Eight capabilities, one runtime. Build once, reuse across every assistant.

SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE

Simple, honest pricing

Each time an AI assistant invokes a skill via MCP, that counts as 1 call. A typical automation run uses around 20–30 calls.

Start free — no credit card needed. Every account gets 1,000 calls per month at no cost, resetting on the 1st of each month (your local time). When you're ready to do more, upgrade any time.

Questions & answers

Short answers; the manual remains authoritative for operational detail.

What are the system requirements?
Is this a hosted SaaS?

No. It is designed primarily as a self-hosted application you run on your infrastructure or workstation. You control networking, TLS, and who can reach the service.

Do I need MCP or Claude community skills?

No. Core features work over the web UI and HTTP API. MCP and integration with the rich skill ecosystem on the Claude community are optional when you want assistants or a skill runtime to consume packaged capabilities. We fully support that path: follow the user manual to install the skills you prefer, use the product’s built-in security checks to validate them, and execute with confidence.

Will this replace my team?

No — it amplifies what your team can do. Think of it as a capable assistant that drafts and suggests; your team reviews, decides, and owns the outcome.

What about data privacy?

Sensitive data flows depend on your configuration: local execution, which models you call, and which external services you enable. Run data-protection assessments before processing regulated data. With this product’s design, interactions are auditable and can be reviewed in a visual way—helping security teams verify behavior instead of working blind.

Why local-first?

Many automation tasks touch the desktop, filesystem, or internal APIs. Keeping execution close to the environment reduces latency and can simplify compliance—at the cost of you maintaining the runtime.

Will VS Code, Chrome, or Office integrations be available?

Yes—see the Visual Studio Marketplace listing or download a VSIX. The Automation Skill Builder app must still run locally; extensions only embed the UI. A Microsoft Office add-in remains under evaluation.

What if OCR or vision is slow the first time?

Vision stacks often download models on first use. Expect a longer cold start; subsequent runs are typically faster. See the manual for warmup and skip flags.

How do I get help?

Community users can ask questions in the public forum — response times vary. If your team needs reliable support with a guaranteed response, check out our professional plan.

Do I need Python or Node.js installed?

See the user manual for OS support and optional Python / Node.js prerequisites.

Support model

Two lanes—so expectations stay clear whether you are evaluating, self-hosting, or running under a commercial agreement.

Professional support

For organizations that need onboarding, priority help, custom integrations, security review assistance, or deployment hardening, commercial support may be available from the maintainer or partners.

Scope, channels, and SLAs are defined in a separate agreement—not on this marketing page. Contact your vendor or project owner for entitlement and pricing.
