act

act lets the agent decide which clicks, types, and waits are needed to reach goal. The agent reads the page on every iteration and stops when the goal is met or the budget is exhausted. For deterministic interactions, prefer explicit commands like click and type.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`goal`	`string`	Yes	Natural-language description of what the agent should accomplish.
`version`	`"2" \| "3"`	No	AI action version. Defaults to V3.
`cache`	`false`	No	Set to `false` to disable caching. The AI agent runs on every execution instead of replaying previously generated steps. V3 only.
`precondition`	`string`	No	Assertion that must pass before the agent runs. V3 only.
`postcondition`	`string`	No	Assertion that must pass after the agent finishes. V3 only.
`saveAs`	`string`	No	Name of the variable to write this step’s return value to.
`retries`	`number`	No	Number of times to retry the step on failure before failing the test.
`skipped`	`boolean`	No	Skip this step at execution time.

Shorthand

Write a multi-word bare goal string inside a step list. Momentic reads it as AI action V3.

- Search for 'sam altman' and make sure there are more than 3 results

Momentic writes the canonical act: form when it saves the test. Set advanced.aiActionShorthand to true to write eligible multi-word V3 goals in the bare form. One-word goals remain under act:, registered web bare commands such as refresh keep their command meaning, and unknown one-word bare strings are rejected.

Examples

- act:
    goal: Ensure the Email Address input box exists and can receive inputs.

- act:
    goal: create a new test with {{ env.RANDOM_TEST_NAME }} in the name
    postcondition: the created test is open in the editor

- act:
    goal: |-
      close the announcement pop up if it is still visible, then trigger the
      login pop up by typing into the text box for adding details
    version: "3"

- act:
    goal: Pick aubergine from the fruit select
    version: "2"

Disable caching so the agent re-derives the flow on every run. Useful when the page content changes between runs and cached steps would go stale immediately.

- act:
    goal: Open the most recent invoice and download its PDF
    cache: false
