You know how you can use Selenium or (on the command line) `expect` to script tasks that aren't APIable? This guy made a company doing that for GUIs that are commonly in use in Japan. Japan suffers from some early adopter pain in that a lot of the software they have now accelerated productivity greatly when introduced but is now coming up against the shortcomings of non-hookable software and now exists through path dependency alone. Making that automatable turns out to be hella valuable.
