Many critical processes still live on a mainframe. They work, but every lookup needs a person at a terminal: type a transaction, wait for the screen, copy a field, repeat.
Record or describe the steps
In Blokera, a mainframe step is a terminal session. You can record what you do on screen or describe it: which transaction to open, which fields to fill, what to read from the response. Each action becomes a step of the flow.
Run on its own
Once built, the flow runs with nobody at the terminal. Every run has a status, progress and a result or an error you can understand, so you always know what is happening.
Without touching the system
The mainframe does not change: Blokera uses the same interface people already use. No programs to modify, no new infrastructure to set up; where and how the flow runs is Blokera’s job.
The same applies to legacy web screens: forms and tables walked through step by step.
