In plain English

Automa is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that lets you automate repetitive browser tasks without writing code. You build automations by connecting visual "blocks" together, think of it like a flowchart for your browser. Tasks you can automate include auto-filling forms, scraping data from websites, taking screenshots, and running repetitive sequences of clicks or inputs. Automations can also be scheduled to run at specific times. There is a marketplace where users can share and download pre-built workflows. Automa also offers an "Extension Builder" that lets you package any workflow into a standalone Chrome extension that others can install without needing Automa itself. The extension is available on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons. The project is built in Vue and JavaScript. The source code is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), with a commercial license also available.
