AHK News 2026-02-19 You can’t afford to hire just anyone❗

Howdy %Name%,

When I was getting my Undergraduate degree I supported myself by painting homes.

One of my clients told me about a story where the tenant, who was a “little off” had offered to repaint some bedrooms in her house if he’d buy the paint.

He agreed and didn’t think anything of it.

A few months later he had some maintenance to do in the house.

The second he opened the door he knew he’d made an enormous mistake

Apparently the woman was a bipolar manic depressive and had painted EVERYTHING in the apartment BLACK.

He said “Joe, when I say everything, I mean literally everything. From the walls and ceiling to the stove and refrigerator.

Even the inside of the refrigerator (down to the ice cube trays) were all black.

So, just remember, when you’re hiring a consultant from Fiverr, you may end up with something you didn’t expect.

When you hire us you get professionals that are (mostly) sane❗

5 Git commands that feel like Magic

During last Friday’s AHK Hero call Isaias walked us through a great article about 5 git commands that feel like magic.

You check out the extract in this video.

Where did those files come from anyway❓

I was testing some of the new functionality in AHK Script Maker when the following thought occurred to me:

After dragging files from Windows Explorer to a window, how do I know which files I dragged❓

This got me thinking: What if we copied the path of the files dragged to the clipboard so, if we cared to, we could look at our clipboard history and be able to see what files were dragged.

This morning Irfan added that very functionality to AHK Script Maker!

I also realized we should add our v1 to v2 Script converter to ASM (which Irfan will do soon).

Still switching to v2?

In the below video we give you an intro to V2. If you prefer short lessons you should check out our course to help you make the switch

The Dark Side of AI

The majority of people agree AI is making them more productive however, could is also be slowing us down❓

This video discusses how AI is changing our workload and expectations of our managers.

Quick way to Check your Stock Portfolio

Our tool for quickly Checking Stock Prices was greatly improved by using SetTimers to make it feel like it is multi-threaded. (If you’re new to SetTimers, we cover them in our Intermediate AHK course)

In this video you can see how now it just “blinks” and you get your whole portfolio.

Improving People’s Lives: Story #82

We met earlier today with Connie, a Hero member, to build a custom tool to help process his “meeting minutes”. We’re building a custom GUI that will let him choose from meetings, attendees, and locations, then sending it all off for transcription and summary.

The results are being returned in markdown format, which he’ll pop into MS word, manually review, then send off!

What we 🅰utomated this week with AutoHotkey #122

This week was a busy one from Client wins to tool updates, and some pretty cool new AI-powered automation.

In this week’s video I walk you through everything from a radiologist who was losing $1,000 a day in productivity (we fixed that in 2 hours) to a brand new video segmentation tool that uses AI to automatically chop up footage based on what’s being said.

Check out this week’s video to see all the tools we’ve been building and the updates we’ve been shipping.

AHK News 2026-02-12 Squashing your Lizard Brain 🦎🧠

Howdy %Name%,

While I was in Las Vegas, Texas (and much of the U.S.) went through a cold spell.

My son got his license last June and had yet to drive on snow or ice.

I tried, over the phone, to explain how dangerous it can be and how he should adjust his driving.

Thankfully I got back to Texas before all of the ice had melted so, at the first chance I got, I took him out to get some “real world” experience.

While, over the phone, I’d mentioned that if you feel yourself “sliding” while braking you need to lift your foot off the brake, until the tires begin to spin again and then re-apply the brakes.

As all of you know this is much easier to say than do which is why I wanted him to have the experience in a controlled environment (with nothing immediately in front of him).

So, hopefully when “it matters” he’s able to squash his lizard brain 🦎🧠 screaming:

“Push the freaking brake pedal through the floor“

It’s why we encourage people during the AHK Hero calls to dabble with different approaches when automating programs. That way, when they have a need, they’re already conditioned how to test & debug the new approach.

Now on with the show…

AHK v2 Secret New File Template 👀

A while back we were discussing launching v2 scripts in the AHK Hero club and Isaias asked if we knew about the place we can easily store and access our New File Template.

You can check out the extract in this video.

AHK Script Maker Pro

We’ve been working on AHK Script Maker for over 5 months now❗

It’s quite an amazing tool on its own but, the other day, I asked Irfan to go ahead and create the “Pro” version which (currently) has an additional 17 “must have” scripts built into it.

Each of these tools are typically sold individually and, if you sum up their value, it comes to $91.84.

All this for $12.99

If you want to know more about the scripts embedded in the Pro version you can learn more by watching this video.

I’m currently outlining the features it has and will begin to make videos next week.

Building a Custom Windows Tool Launcher

I was reading an article about the top Windows Utilities we should use. The article mentioned the arbitrary ways you can find the tools in Windows. I then thought: “Why should I have to search for the tools❓

Why not ask Claude to build a launcher for me❓

So, 10 minutes later, I had a working tool that launched a lot of built-in Windows tools.

You can check it out in this video.

I think I’ll add a few more tools and a search bar. After that I’ll share it as a download.

Improving People’s Lives: Story #79

We had a great client call with a Radiologist. He mentioned his company is forcing them to use new tools that incorporate AI and “streamline” the flow.

Unfortunately, he said he’s losing around $1,000 a day because of their new “improved“ tool.

In our 2 hour private consultation we invented work-arounds to get him back to his productive levels!

If you’re a Radiologists, book a call with us and i 💯% guarnatee you that we will make you more productive❗
