Unlock Growth

Minicor builds and maintains desktop automations so your teams can focus on closing deals and shipping product.

Self-Healing Agents

When a UI changes or an unexpected dialog appears, the agent catches it, adapts, and keeps going. A reflection agent verifies every action against what's on screen and self-corrects before the workflow breaks. No more rebuilding scripts every time a vendor ships an update.

Writing RPAs isn't hard. Maintenance is the killer.

How Minicor Works

From API call to desktop automation running on a Windows VM. Here's what happens under the hood.

1. Your AI system calls Minicor2. Desktop service connects your VMs3. Build and monitor workflows visually4. Scale automatically across VMs

One API call triggers a full desktop workflow. Send the workflow ID and data, get structured JSON back. No SDK, no browser extension.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Minicor?

Minicor is a platform for building and running desktop automations at scale with computer use agents. AI companies selling into healthcare, automotive, logistics, and financial services need to read and write to their customers' systems of record. These are old desktop applications with no APIs. Minicor automates them reliably so companies can go live in weeks.

Why can't I just use the system's API?

Most legacy desktop systems like EHRs, ERPs, DMS, and PMS have no writable API and never will. Some vendors are actively restricting third-party API access. The only way to read or write data is to interact with the desktop like a human would. That is the problem Minicor solves.

Why not build RPA in-house?

Building one RPA is not hard. Running hundreds reliably is. UIs change, edge cases pile up, errors cascade. At scale, even small error rates become catastrophic. Engineering teams end up spending all their time maintaining automations instead of building their core product.

How is Minicor different from traditional RPA or computer use models?

Traditional RPA vendors use brittle scripts that break when UIs change. Computer use models work for demos but fall apart in production at 80-85% accuracy because they figure everything out from scratch every time. Minicor stores automation as deterministic code and uses the agent only for recovery and edge cases. Faster and more accurate in production.

What happens when the UI changes?

Minicor self-heals. A reflection agent verifies every action against what is on screen and self-corrects before mistakes cascade. When a vendor ships a UI update, the automation adapts instead of crashing. 93-96% click accuracy vs 80-85% for other approaches.

How long does it take to go live?

Zero to production in weeks. Install our Desktop Client, record a video of a human performing the workflow, and we handle everything after that. Traditional RPA and integration approaches typically take 4 or more months.

Is Minicor HIPAA compliant?

Yes. SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant. For on-premise deployments, the entire platform is containerized and runs inside your network. No data leaves your perimeter.

What systems does Minicor work with?

Any legacy desktop or web application. Healthcare EMRs like Athena, Epic, Cerner, and PS Suite. Dental PMS like Open Dental and Dental Vision. Automotive DMS like CDK Global. Supply chain systems like SAP and HighJump. Home health systems like Wellsky and Home Care HomeBase. Financial services platforms for claims, banking, and underwriting.
