I'm happy to say that a new open-source game automation utility that I've been working on for the past 2 years is now coming to Steam!

It has a website at https://automat.org/. That website might be a little hard to parse - so here are are some links:
* you can check it out on video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBT9XO61B5I (I usually do a short intro on every development livestream)
* GitHub is here: https://github.com/mafik/automat
* an article about Automat: https://automat.org/live2025 (if you have any questions - check this out first!)
* and the Steam page is here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4122050/Automat/

While Steam version is still in "coming soon" mode, you can grab a release from GitHub.

One word of warning - it doesn't play well with Wayland (it's fairly hard to interop with other apps on Wayland) - but I'm optimistic about this bit in the near future.

Is it like xdotool, but with a fancy gui?

More like a fancy gui with some xdotool :P

There is a presentation about it from two days ago that just went live live now on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUFDF62e37s
