astron-rpa: an enterprise RPA platform with low-code visual design and native AI agent integration

What it solves

AstronRPA addresses the complexity of automating repetitive business tasks across diverse software environments. It provides a way to automate Windows desktop applications (including ERPs like Kingdee and YonYou, and office suites like WPS and Office) and web pages without requiring extensive coding knowledge.

How it works

The project uses a visual, low-code/no-code designer that allows users to drag and drop components to build automation workflows. It operates via a frontend-backend separation architecture: a Vue 3 and Electron desktop client for design, and a backend powered by Java Spring Boot and Python FastAPI. The execution engine is Python-based and utilizes over 300 pre-built atomic capabilities—including computer vision for image recognition and UI automation—to interact with the operating system and applications.

Who it’s for

It is designed for enterprise users and business analysts who need to automate business processes, as well as developers looking for a flexible, extensible RPA framework that integrates with AI agents.
