# Mediar AI > Automate data entry from PDFs into Windows desktop applications using AI — no APIs needed. Make RPA obsolete with intelligent automation that cuts errors, ensures compliance, and frees your team. ## What is Mediar? Mediar is an AI-powered desktop automation platform that works at the OS level using accessibility APIs. Unlike traditional RPA tools that use brittle selectors or vision-based approaches, Mediar reads what applications actually expose — the same interfaces screen readers use. This makes automation more reliable and maintainable. ## Key Differentiators - **OS-Level Technology**: Uses Windows accessibility APIs, not pixel-matching or selectors - **No API Required**: Works with any Windows application including legacy systems without APIs - **Faster Implementation**: Days to production, not months - **Lower Cost**: ~80% cheaper than UiPath, no specialized developers needed - **Self-Healing**: Automations adapt when interfaces change ## Product & Solutions - [Homepage](https://mediar.ai): AI data entry automation platform overview - [Turn-Key Program](https://mediar.ai/turnkey): 3-month implementation program with dedicated support - [Solutions Overview](https://mediar.ai/solutions): Industry-specific automation solutions ### Industry Solutions - [SAP Automation](https://mediar.ai/solutions/sap): Order-to-cash automation for SAP - save $80K/year, 93% faster - [Insurance Claims](https://mediar.ai/solutions/insurance): Claims intake automation - $750K/year savings, 30min → 2min per claim - [Banking & Core Systems](https://mediar.ai/solutions/banking): Sync data across Jack Henry, Fiserv, FIS - reduce onboarding from 8 weeks to 2 weeks - [Healthcare Systems](https://mediar.ai/solutions/healthcare): Patient intake and billing automation - $210K/year savings - [Oracle ERP](https://mediar.ai/solutions/oracle): Oracle automation for order entry and procurement - [Excel Data Entry](https://mediar.ai/solutions/excel): Automate PDF data extraction to Excel spreadsheets ## Key Features - **No API Required**: Works with any Windows desktop application including legacy systems - **PDF to Application**: Extract structured data from PDFs and enter directly into desktop apps - **Compliance-Ready**: Audit trails, validation rules, SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant - **Desktop Automation**: Automates SAP GUI, Oracle forms, Salesforce, Excel, and custom applications - **Real Results**: 93-95% time reduction, 80-95% error reduction across industries ## Pricing - **Turn-Key Program**: $10,000 non-refundable fee (converts to credits with bonus) - **Usage**: Average $0.75 per minute of workflow execution - **No hidden fees**: No per-seat licensing, no setup fees beyond program - **ROI Example**: 500 claims/week at 10 min each → 1 min each = 75 hours saved weekly = $12K/month savings vs ~$1.5K cost = 8x ROI ## Use Cases - Order entry from POS systems into SAP - Insurance claims intake and assignment - Banking core system data synchronization - Patient intake and medical billing - Purchase order processing - Invoice data extraction - Legacy application modernization without API integration ## Competitor Comparisons ### Mediar vs UiPath UiPath is the enterprise RPA market leader but requires certified developers, months of implementation, and $100K+ upfront. Mediar deploys in days at 20% of the cost. UiPath uses brittle selectors that break with UI changes; Mediar uses OS-level APIs that adapt. ### Mediar vs Power Automate Power Automate excels at Microsoft 365 workflows with 900+ connectors. But Power Automate Desktop struggles with complex legacy applications like EHRs and ERPs. Mediar specializes in desktop applications where Power Automate fails. ### Mediar vs n8n n8n is excellent for API-based workflows but cannot automate desktop applications. APIs only exist when vendors provide them. Mediar works at the OS level with any application, regardless of API availability. ### Mediar vs Browser-Based Tools (Skyvern, Browser Use, CloudCruise) Browser automation tools like Skyvern, Browser Use, and CloudCruise are limited to web applications. Enterprise workflows require desktop apps: EHRs, ERPs, SAP GUI, Oracle Forms. Mediar works beyond the browser at the OS level. ### Mediar vs Vision-Based AI (Sola, CUA.ai) Vision-based approaches use LLMs to interpret pixels — flexible but probabilistic. Mediar uses accessibility APIs for deterministic execution. We read what applications expose, not what pixels look like. ## FAQ ### Implementation & Setup **Q: How long does implementation typically take?** A: Our standard turn-key program runs for 3 months. Most teams see their first automated workflow within the first week. Full production deployment typically happens within 2-4 weeks depending on complexity. **Q: Do we need IT department involvement?** A: Minimal. Mediar works at the application layer without requiring API access or deep system integration. We typically only need IT for initial user provisioning and security review. **Q: What about security and compliance requirements?** A: Mediar is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant. We operate entirely within your existing security perimeter. All actions are logged and auditable. ### Technology & Capabilities **Q: How is Mediar different from RPA tools like UiPath?** A: Main differences: 20% of the cost, higher reliability, 2-week implementation instead of months. UiPath uses brittle selectors; we use OS-level accessibility APIs that don't break when UIs change. **Q: Can Mediar work with legacy systems without APIs?** A: Yes, that's exactly what we're designed for. We work with any application that has a user interface — 30-year-old mainframe terminals, desktop apps, or modern web apps. **Q: What workflows can be automated?** A: Repetitive workflows involving multiple systems: data entry, validation, document processing, system reconciliation. If it takes more than 5 minutes and happens 100+ times per week, it's a good candidate. ### Pricing & ROI **Q: How does pricing work?** A: Simple: $0.75 per minute average of workflow execution. The $10K program fee converts to credits. No monthly minimums or complex licensing. **Q: What ROI can we expect?** A: 80%+ cost savings vs UiPath. Example: 500 claims/week at 10 min each → 1 min with Mediar = 75 hours saved weekly = $12K/month savings at ~$1.5K cost = 8x monthly ROI. **Q: Is there a money-back guarantee?** A: The program fee is non-refundable as it reflects dedicated engineering resources. We work closely with you throughout to ensure value delivery. ### Support **Q: What support is included?** A: Direct support from the founders — you get our phone numbers. During the program, calls every other day if needed. No support tiers or ticket systems. **Q: Can we build automations ourselves?** A: Yes. Use our no-code interface for simple automations, or our open-source Terminator SDK for custom workflows. Many teams use a hybrid approach. ## Technical Specifications - **Platform**: Windows desktop automation - **Technology**: OS-level accessibility APIs (same as screen readers) - **Integration**: SAP, Oracle, Jack Henry, Fiserv, FIS, Excel, Salesforce, custom Windows apps - **Input Sources**: PDFs, scanned documents, structured data files - **Security**: SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, encrypted data handling, audit logging - **Deployment**: On-premise or cloud options available ## Company Information - **Industry**: Enterprise AI Automation, RPA Alternative - **Target Customers**: Manufacturing, Insurance, Banking, Healthcare, Retail, Distribution - **Open Source**: [Terminator SDK on GitHub](https://github.com/mediar-ai/terminator) - **Social**: [@m13v_ on Twitter](https://x.com/m13v_), [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mediar-ai), [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@mediar_ai) - **Contact**: Live chat on website or [schedule a demo](https://mediar.ai/turnkey) ## Educational Resources - [What is RPA?](https://mediar.ai/what-is-rpa): Complete guide to Robotic Process Automation — definition, benefits, limitations, and how AI automation compares - [How to Automate SAP](https://mediar.ai/guides/how-to-automate-sap): Step-by-step guide to automating SAP data entry without coding or API access - [Automation Glossary](https://mediar.ai/glossary): Key terms in RPA, desktop automation, ERP, and enterprise software explained ## More Information - [Full documentation](https://mediar.ai/llms-full.txt): Comprehensive technical details - [Compare with competitors](https://mediar.ai/compare): Detailed feature comparisons - [Case studies](https://mediar.ai/case-studies): Customer success stories
