These tutorials help to create a few simple first scripts that for example display a message window, run notepad to create a new file, install winzip – all fully automatically. I got started by going through the tutorials in the on line help: Online Documentation – same contents – is available at.

An automation tool for Windows GUI interactions. To for example automate editing Powerpoint sides, Word documents or Video files. I want to be able to make automated use of the tools I use on Windows myself. I cannot or do not want to program all actions in NodeJS.

I am now looking to extend my NodeJS/Playwright programs – that execute in the context of browser based applications – with a complementary tool for automating tasks on Windows. Playwright is great for automating testing web applications as well as for screen scraping (for data), tactical integration, RPA, prototyping and even customizing third party applications for my personal use. I recently spent quite some time on getting to know Playwright – a great tool for automating virtually any operation performed in a browser.
