Akabot Agent
Akabot Agent is the runtime component that lives on a machine — desktop or server — and executes automation workflows dispatched by Akabot Center or triggered locally. Agents can run attended (alongside a human user) or unattended (fully automated, 24/7).
Agent types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Attended | Runs on a user's desktop and can interact with the currently logged-in session. Triggered manually or by a hotkey. |
| Unattended | Runs on a server or VM without a human present. Triggered remotely by Akabot Center. |
| Testing | Used for local development and debugging. Not counted toward your license. |
Key features
- Lightweight runtime — Minimal footprint; runs as a Windows service or user-mode process.
- Secure channel — All communication with Akabot Center is encrypted and token-authenticated.
- Automatic updates — Agents pull workflow package updates from Center before each run.
- Local triggers — Agents can be triggered by file system events, keyboard shortcuts, or REST calls.
