Sikuli is a new app that makes automating as simple as taking screenshots, if you watch the video below, you’ll truly know how oldschool macros now are. Instead of programming actions, all you have to do is put screenshots of the particular UI items that you want to automate in a list and then the app will use visual cues to do whatever you want it to do. Not only does it make things much easier when actually writing scripts, but it also gives you countless options in terms of automation.

Sikuli can automate any app that has a graphical user interface, because all it has to do is recognise that GUI on your screen. That includes web apps too, Sikuli is a MIT project which means it is completely freeware and supports Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Find out more here…
