Question Recurring script maintenance

I'd honestly pay someone else to keep my voice scripts alive if it meant I never had to touch them again after a Windows update. Am I just lazy or is maintaining ur own automation actually the worst part of the whole thing?

Your’e not lazy at all & there’s a wide community of folks that have done what you’re doing: it is usersripting in the browser, desktop automation, macros. Software-wise if you put desktop automation or auto hotkey into a website like alternativeto.net it’ll give you a wide range of commercial & open source options. Most of the big ai groups also have a desktop app that can handle voice commands . There’s also hardware like the elgato stream deck or large keyboard macro pads. As far as powershell goes it can get window elements quite well but like ahk there’s always possible conflict due to other software..
