autoMatt

autoMatt is an open-source automation tool designed to simplify repetitive tasks on the web. Created by developer Matt Webb, it is a lightweight browser extension that allows users to automate interactions with websites, such as form filling, clicking buttons, and navigating pages, through a simple scripting interface. The tool is particularly useful for streamlining workflows, testing web applications, or handling routine online tasks.

autoMatt operates by recording user actions—like typing, hovering, or clicking—and converting them into reusable scripts. These scripts can be edited, saved, and executed later, making it ideal for both casual users and developers. The extension supports a basic JavaScript-like syntax, allowing for conditional logic, loops, and variable assignments, though it is not as powerful as full-fledged automation frameworks like Selenium or Puppeteer.

The project originated as a personal tool for automating tasks on personal websites and later evolved into a community-driven initiative. autoMatt is distributed under an open-source license, encouraging contributions from developers to enhance its functionality. It is compatible with major web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and is available for free download from its official repository.

While autoMatt is not intended for large-scale or complex web automation, it serves as a practical solution for users seeking a no-code or low-code approach to web automation. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a popular choice among individuals looking to automate everyday online tasks without extensive programming knowledge.
