Autonomous Ghost vs Microsoft Power Automate
Automate across Microsoft 365 and every other system — browsers, desktops, and AI agents without per-user premium add-ons.
Why teams switch from Microsoft Power Automate
Power Automate fits teams standardized on Microsoft cloud. Ghost extends automation to non-Microsoft portals, desktop clients, and agent workflows with predictable credits and resilient UI automation when APIs are missing.
Cross-vendor coverage
Automate SAP GUI, carrier portals, and niche SaaS — not only M365 connectors.
Desktop & browser studio
Record legacy Windows apps Power Automate Desktop struggles to maintain at scale.
Unified agent layer
Deploy AI agents that invoke flows as tools with human approvals.
Credit-based metering
Model cost by runs and connections instead of per-user premium SKUs.
