AutoHotkey expert / Robotics Process Automation Guru
I've been using AutoHotkey for over 15 years. I've given ~60 webinars on AutoHotkey and have a weekly podcast discussing Robotics Process Automation with AutoHotkey.
I also have over 1,150+ videos on YouTube teaching people how to automate the mundane with AutoHotkey.
I'm not a programmer by trade so I don't explain things in a way that is ridiculously complicated.
I love helping people automate their daily tasks! AutoHotkey is a "game changer" and will save you an amazing amount of time. Start learning to work Smarter, not Harder today!

Thanks for this free course. This helped me understand what AHK is all about as well as some ideas on how I could use it in my workflow.
I've wanted to learn AHK for a while now and what a great way to get started, a free intro course! Looking forward to having a better understanding of what this tool can do.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. It's good and very helpful for further and advance learning.!!
Lots of free resources/information to get started quickly with AHK.
Very knowable individuals on AHK and I think for a beginner it was still complex with a lot assumptions made on user base knowledge. This is more of a programmers course made for programmers. Resource links do not always link to AHK Scripts i.e. the AHKHelp links to website with embedded YT and no download. To change default editor is almost 1,000 lines of code and connects to the internet to download latest version. Maybe missed the point on the Security standpoint, but ping out to the network and downloading stuff might suit the dev, but I see this as a security concern. At least you can see the code. The code seems overly complex to change the editor. I guess AHK doesn't mean easy and simple, but complex scripting code to do repetitive tasks... From a video production stand point audio was all over the map from clip to clip high then low then high. I do appreciate the free content on your YT, but need to step up the video production with a greenscreen and fix the audio. Feels like a left and shift from YouTube to here.
