Sikuli is an open-source automation tool that uses image recognition to identify and interact with graphical user interface elements, allowing scripts to control applications by 'seeing' screenshots of buttons, icons, or text on screen. It is used by testers and developers for automating GUI testing and repetitive desktop tasks, especially when an application lacks accessible APIs. Sikuli scripts are typically written in Python via its Jython-based scripting interface.
