Howdy %Name%,
You might be aware that we’re working on a new AutoHotkey editor that will be simple enough for beginners to use it yet powerful enough where people like Isaias will still work with it.
You may not be aware of it but I have a masters in Market Research (and my Undergraduate degree is in Marketing). I’ve also been studying copywriting for many years and can tell you that the name of your project can make or break its success.
During a Hero call a few weeks back, I ran a quiz a few weeks back and there were a few front runners. One that I liked was “Ahk Script Maker“.
It’s clear, to the point and helps beginners understand the usage (many don’t know what an “editor” is)
But it wasn’t “jumping out” for me.
I wanted something that would not only get attention but would get people “excited”.
I put on my thinking cap and came up with:
Optimized Rapid Generation – Ahk Script Maker
I do think it will appeal to both Noobs and Advanced users.
Yes, it is a mouthful.
But I think the name will catch on. Perhaps we’ll just come up with an acronym…
Yes, I think an Acronym would definitely help with the marketing angle.
To prove my point here are a few introductory statements we might try:
- Would you be interested in getting ORGASM?
- We guarantee, once you try ORGASM, you’ll be hooked❗
- Experience productivity like never before. Get your ORGASM today
- Your productivity climax starts here; try ORGASM now!
- Skip the foreplay and go straight to results with ORGASM.
Don’t worry. I haven’t (entirely) lost my mind.
I’ll keep it “safe” and go with Ahk Script Maker
But you have to admit, it would get attention❗
Now on with the show…

Configure Claude Code for VS Code
During an AHK hero call Ray asked about configuring Claude code for VS Code.
Isaias gave us a great walk-through which I extracted in this video.
If you’re not using VS Code, but you want to “level-up” you really should check out our Intro to VS Code course!

Learning to Filter is a Game Changer!
We’ve discussed how important it is to bind your scripts to programs in the past.
Learning this simple approach will level you up faster than you’d believe! Here’s a great video explaining how it will rock your world!

Packing Up Your Script
If you’re like me and using AI a lot, then you know how annoying it can be to provide your entire script to AI when there are a bunch of #Includes.
When I used to code with AHK Studio, I used a “pack up” function to push all of the code to the clipboard. It was a game changer, so we created this script to do this for us.
You can check it out in this video.

P.S. Hopefully I didn’t offend you on the intro. Our editor is coming along nicely.
Currently our plan is to have a “intro” version (without tools) and an advanced version which comes with a lot of “must have” tools (some of which will be AI driven.)
This advanced version will require a subscription.
