Every user benefits from the questions and answers provided in the forum, that is why we would ask you to post the question in the RPA forum first if a public forum is appropriate for your question. The forum is monitored by active users, tech support and the developers, so we would like to concentrate the discussion "over there" in one place.

How to install Ui.Vision:

Ui.Vision RPA for Chrome, Edge and Firefox is modern cross-platform RPA software for macOS, Linux and Windows. It includes a Selenium IDE and Web Macro Recorder. You find the latest version always in the Chrome and Firefox stores. You can use it completely free for private and commercial purposes:

• UI.Vision in the Google Chrome Webstore

• UI.Vision in the Firefox Webstore

• UI.Vision in the Microsoft Edge Webstore

• Ui.Vision Homepage

• List of supported Selenium IDE commands

The new uiv.* JavaScript API and the AI system prompt

Besides the classic command table, macros can be written as modern JavaScript using the uiv.* API - DOM and visual finders (uiv.$, uiv.findImage, uiv.ocr.findText, uiv.ai.find), the input tiers (uiv.page.*, uiv.browser.*, uiv.desktop.*), screenshots, tabs, CSV and downloads. Every call auto-waits and throws a real JS exception on failure, so try/catch works.

• The Ui.Vision AI system prompt - the complete uiv.* API reference plus the automation recipes the AI assistant works from. This is the same text the AI in the side panel uses, and it is the best hand-written reference for the JS API. You can override it in Settings > AI > System Prompt.

• llms-full.txt - the same material as one plain-text file, for feeding into an AI assistant.

• MCP bridge - lets Claude Code and other MCP clients create, edit and run Ui.Vision macros in your browser. Source and setup: mcp/README.md.

• uiv-commands.md (in this repo) - maps every classic command-table command to its uiv.* equivalent, or to the uiv.run('command', 'target', 'value') legacy bridge where no native method exists yet.

The published prompt page is generated from the source of truth in src/services/ai/macro_agent/service.ts via npm run gen:ai-prompt-page, so run that at release time to keep it in sync.

Building the Chrome, Edge and Firefox Extension

Building the extension is not required if you "only" want to use it.

You can install UI.Vision directly from the Chrome, Edge or Firefox stores, which is the easiest and the recommended way of using the Ui.Vision RPA software. Older versions can be found in the RPA software archive.

The information below is only required and intended for developers:

The project uses Node V20.11.1 and NPM V10.2.4

If you have any questions, please contact us at TEAM AT UI.VISION - Thanks!

To build the extension bundle

npm i -f

npm run build

npm run build-ff

npm run build creates the Chrome/Edge build in dist, npm run build-ff creates the Firefox build in dist_ff.

To develop

npm i -f

npm start

Use npm run start-ff for the Firefox variant. Both run webpack in watch mode, so the bundles in dist (Chrome/Edge) and dist_ff (Firefox) are rebuilt on every change.

Once done, the ready-to-use extension code appears in the /dist directory (Chrome, Edge) or /dist_ff directory (Firefox). Load it via chrome://extensions → "Load unpacked" (Chrome/Edge) or about:debugging → "Load Temporary Add-on" (Firefox).

Repository layout

• src/ - the extension source (React UI, side panel, macro player, commands)
• extension/ - static extension assets and manifest.json (Manifest V3)
• mcp/ - the Ui.Vision MCP bridge, which lets Claude Code and other MCP clients create, edit and run macros. See mcp/README.md
• dist/, dist_ff/ - build output for Chrome/Edge and Firefox
