What You’ll Build
In this tutorial, you’ll:- Create a simple process
- Run it with an AI agent
- Use HITL controls to oversee execution
- View the results
Prerequisites:
- A Granite account (sign up)
- At least one driver machine connected (or use a shared demo driver)
Step 1: Navigate to Processes
1
Open the Dashboard
Log into app.getgranite.ai
2
Click Processes
In the left sidebar, click Processes
Step 2: Create a New Process
1
Click New Process
Click the + New Process button in the top right
2
Enter Process Details
Fill in the form:
3
Save the Process
Click Create to save your process
Step 3: Run the Agent
1
Click Run
On your new process page, click the Run button
2
Wait for Driver Assignment
Granite will:
- Find an available driver machine
- Connect to the Windows desktop
- Start streaming video to your browser
3
Watch the Execution
You’ll see:
- Live video of the Windows desktop
- Chat panel showing each action
- HITL controls for approving actions
Step 4: Use HITL Controls
During execution, the agent may pause for your approval:Approve
Let the action proceed as planned
Modify
Change what the agent will do
Skip
Skip this action and continue
Cancel
Stop the entire execution
Example HITL Interaction
Step 5: View Results
After execution completes:- Execution Summary
- Screenshots
- Recording
- Logs
See the outcome:
- Status: Success, Failed, or Cancelled
- Duration: How long it took
- Actions: Number of steps executed
Congratulations!
You’ve just run your first Granite automation. Here’s what you learned:- Creating a process with a description
- Running an AI agent to execute it
- Using HITL controls for oversight
- Viewing execution results

Common Issues
No driver machines available
No driver machines available
You need at least one connected driver. Options:
- Set up a local driver
- Use GCP managed VMs
- Contact support for demo access
Agent seems stuck
