Robomotion RPA - Plus Exclusive Questions

A: Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Robomotion. Unfortunately, we can't confirm if we’ll return to AppSumo, as the deals are by invitation only.

A: Hello,

"Cloud execution hours" refer to the total amount of time your robots are allowed to run in the cloud in a month.

How much you can accomplish within those hours depends on the nature of your automation. Some tasks are short and complete in 10–15 minutes, such as reading emails, classifying them, extracting data, and entering it into a CRM, or filling out and submitting a simple form.

Other tasks can take 1–2 hours or more, especially if you're processing hundreds or thousands of Excel files or generating complex reports. Some automations require gathering data from multiple systems, querying each one, waiting for responses, and collecting the results.

So this all depends on how long your automation process or processes takes to complete.

A: Hello Bob,

Thank you for your interest in Robomotion. Unfortunately, participation in the deal is managed by AppSumo, is available by invitation only and so it is not up to us. If you haven't already we would appreciate if you join our Discord at https://community.robomotion.io

A: Hi,

These are different products. TM is a web automation tool designed to make automation as simple as clicking. Its main focus is the web. If it meets your needs, it’s a good choice. Its narrow focus allows it to improve steadily over time. If all you need is web automation and TM works for you, that’s great.

RM, on the other hand, is a more general-purpose tool. It lets you manage both web and desktop applications, access the operating system's file system, run robots locally, call APIs, create webhooks, design forms similar to Google Forms, build chatbots, and set up triggers. RPA tools are built as a collection of automation features. Covering more ground naturally takes more time, especially for a small team. Some areas improve faster based on usage, while others take longer. But overall, RM offers a broader toolkit and more possibilities. It’s meant to be a complete platform for all your automation needs.

RM is also a low-code tool. We firmly believe that no-code tools alone will eventually fall short when faced with complex automations. At some point, scripting becomes necessary. You might call it a blueprint or a magic script, but in the end, it’s still code. It’s not full-blown programming, which we avoid, but just a few lines of code can solve most issues. And now, with AI, writing 3 to 5 lines of code has become easier even if you have no programming experience.

No-code tools are great when they work for you, but they can be frustrating when they don't because they are too limited to handle complex problems. Coding tools are also difficult, as they require a lot of knowledge, and writing, deploying, and maintaining code can be cumbersome. Low-code sits between these two extremes. It’s easier than full coding and more capable than no-code when it comes to solving complex problems. No-code tools often have to make strong assumptions or decisions for you, while low-code tools aim to be as flexible as possible. No-code has a very small learning curve and is easy to start with, while low-code requires more time and effort to learn.

RM becomes a superpower once you spend time with it and turns into your go-to tool for any automation. RM is a long-term investment that grows more valuable the more you learn and use it.

We are currently renewing everything to become a much more AI-integrated tool, and making it easier to use. Our new Admin Console and new Desktop Launcher are coming soon. The final part of this update is a complete redesign of our 5-year-old Designer, now rebuilt with fully integrated generative AI capabilities.

A: Hi,

What you see with ChatGPT Operator and Anthropic Claude Computer Use are just happy-path demonstrations, technology demos and wishful thinking for future AGI capabilities. They are nowhere near being able to complete a reasonable long tasks deterministically. These systems are probabilistic by nature, not reliable, and can fail at any time you run them.

In contrast, programmed behaviors like RPA are deterministic, if a run works once, you can be confident it will work 100% the same way next time, assuming nothing changes (which is relatively rare but still more controllable).

Another very important point: when an RPA automation fails, you have full control to fix it. It’s usually due to a site change or an added element, you fix the issue, reset everything, and it’s ready to run again. With AI-based automations like Operator and Computer Use, you have no such control. You just write a prompt and hope it works.

A: Hi,

The element wasn’t found because that example is over a year old and page layouts change. Consequently, the hardcoded selector no longer works, thats why, you get an element not found error. The Chrome Extension page has been updated, here’s the latest inspector view:

A: Hi,

It was an initialization bug, should be fixed now.

A: Hello,

Forms requires Queues to work. So they are included in Tier 4 and higher tiers.

A: Hi,

Our robot software is downloaded, installed, and logged into on your desktop. You open the Designer in your browser to develop your automation, and when you press Run, the connected robot executes the automation on that machine.

With our Cloud Run feature, you can run automations without installing a robot locally. We spin up a robot instance in the cloud, your Designer uses that instance to execute the flow, and when the flow finishes, the robot stops and shuts down.

Cloud Run is billed per minute, with a multiplier based on your container’s CPU and memoryso one real-time minute may count as 2× or 3× Cloud Run minutes; by default, it counts as one minute.

A: Hello,

Technically, it’s possible to automate LinkedIn replies, some community members have already done so. However, social-media automation is challenging: major platforms continually tighten restrictions and employ advanced bot-detection mechanisms to block this and it is not fun to deal with these all the time something has changed. In short, you can build your own solution, but I recommend using a dedicated tool for this. That way, any changes to the platform are handled by the tool provider, not you.

A: Thank you 👍

A: Hello,

Robomotion was founded five years ago, before the AI era. Over the past several months, we’ve been updating our backend and project format to make everything AI-ready. Previously, our projects were stored as large JSON blobs whihc is hard for AI to processs , we redesigned the format for better compatibility. This took time, because we had to maintain backward compatibility with every workflow our users had created.

Now we’re renewing all our products:

Apps → Agents Dashboard: Completely converted and redesigned.

Assistant: Fully rewritten from the ground up, converted from Flutter to React.

Admin Console: Currently under renewal.

Designer (core product): Redesigned with a modern React Flow canvas which is now the de facto standard for node-based tools.

Next, we’ll add AI generation capabilities for both low-code Function and Run Script nodes and the main flow creation. We aim to become the “Cursor of RPA” enabling users to create automations guided with prompts. While RPA flows can be highly complex (think accounting or ERP automations with dozens of screens, hundreds of comboboxes and labels), AI will guide you through the final flow, just like coding assistants such as Cursor and Windsurf.

a) Yes, you can achieve this with Robomotion. Our scraping capabilities are extremely robust, and because we’re built on Go, we can run tens, hundreds, even thousands, of automation sequences in parallel within a single flow. Which helps you to scrape things also in parallel, I haven't seen an RPA product like, at least non of the popular ones.

b) Our PDF generation is limited: we can handle simple PDFs, but more complex layouts aren’t supported yet, maybe in the future.

A: Hello,

I’m pretty sure you can do this with Robomotion. Your paywall idea is intriguing, we could create public chats like OpenAI’s GPTs and integrate Stripe (or another payment provider). Although we don’t offer that payment integration yet, we can certainly add it. That would let you share a link as a product for your service. Thanks for the suggestion; we’ll definitely include this in our examples.

A: Hi,

Thanks for being an early adopter. Cloud hours only bundle with Tiers 5 and 6, but if you DM me from Discord your account details, I’ll manually credit you a one-time of execution minutes.

A: Hello,

We have S3 integration package. You can List Files, Download files, and upload to a website with web automation or with API if exists.You can do reverse too. We don't have an S3 trigger, but you can poll as you suggest. 5 minute intervals starts with Tier 4, 10 minute Tier 3, 15 minute Tier 2, 30 minute Tier 1. All would work for your case. You can do this with Production Robots.

A: Hi,

I haven't got this knowledge about the deal structure, AppSumo's decision.

Best,

A: Hello,

1. We have an initialization bug and today we’ll add all Tier 5 and Tier 6 minutes.
2. That’s what we are going to do, otherwise it’ll be hard for us manage too.👍
