yep, and applescript...

i'm really not sure companies will allow their apps to be automated so easily, and the reason is api abuse (think of a saas where you can upload file attachments for example); you'd either end up banned or throttled pretty fast, and in the end the company will be like "cost > opportunity" and just close it off (and its like this already, llms just make this worse)
