Howdy,
I saw the below comic and realized it can be changed to help reflect various ways the-Automator helps people learn AutoHotkey.
Our AHK Courses are great for people that want to work “on their own”
The AHK Hero program is great when people need a little “personalized help”. Or you might consider a tutoring session.
And of course some people just want the work “done for them”. That’s where our Consultations come in. You can check out our availability here.
Now on with the show…

Simple Webcam Reminder
Have you ever recorded your screen and then, after the fact failed to take into account your webcam is covering part of the screen❓
If you have then you’ll understand why this tool is a “must have”.
Our tool not only reminds you your webcam is on the screen but it also let’s you display notes to yourself that video viewers cannot see.
You can check it out in this video.

Quickly Extract Audio from your Videos
I’m helping a local Mexican restaurant play Mexican music in their parking lot to attract attention.
I wanted to avoid commercials (and be able to insert my own) so I downloaded a bunch of You Tube videos.
Then I used our Crazy fast MP3 Ripper to incredibly quickly convert them to mp3 files.
You can check out this video. Please keep in mind, the download is an executable.

Creating Fake drives
During a consultation call with a new AHK hero member the client mentioned he’s going to be setting up multiple computers and having to keep the files synced.
He mentioned how painful working with all the different paths were (not to mention trying to keep the files synced).
I mentioned the how we solve this by using a cloud tool (in our case DropBox) to sync all the files and also use our Drive Mapper to create a “fake” drive which means all the paths, across all the computers, will be the same!
You can learn more about this tool /approach in this video.

Improving People’s Lives: Story #38
We just launched 2 chatbots for our client’s 2 websites.
Most companies charge (in my opinion) large amounts for Developing, Training/Customizing, and Implementing.
Often they’re charging $500 for a discussion, then thousands to “build” the bot and monthly fees of $50 or more (often much more).
We did everything for around $200. Granted our approach does not include the AI token usage but that will depend on usage (and will probably be under $10 a month).
The best part is the Chatbots will greatly reduce the support calls they are receiving which will allow their employees to work on what matters!

P.S. The most common thing I hear at the end of our first consultation with a client is regret that the client didn’t contact us earlier .
