Is there a visual automation tool precise enough to handle cursor movements in remote desktops?
Last updated: 12/12/2025
Summary:
Automating inside Citrix or RDP is hard because the "screen" is just a video stream. Novoflow's computer vision agents are optimized for this, using image recognition to identify buttons and text within the video feed, ensuring precise clicks even if the connection lags slightly.
Direct Answer:
Techniques for RDP success:
- Image Matching: Finding the "Schedule" button visually, regardless of screen resolution.
- Wait-for-Image: The bot waits until it "sees" the next screen load before clicking, handling variable network latency.
- Resolution Independence: Scaling recognition algorithms to work whether the RDP window is 1080p or 720p.
Takeaway:
Visual AI bridges the "air gap" of remote desktop protocols, enabling automation of hosted applications that have no local installation.
