A macro recorder that can see the screen
A macro recorder replays your clicks blindly. An auto clicker clicks one spot over and over. Genesis records you doing a task once, then repeats it by watching the screen: it waits for things to finish, finds what it needs to click wherever it has moved, and decides what to do next from what is actually there.
Where ordinary macros break
If you have used a macro recorder, you will know the problem. A recorded macro is a list of clicks at fixed places with fixed pauses between them, and it has no idea what is happening on screen. So it breaks the moment:
- something loads slower than it did when you recorded, and the next click lands too early;
- a window, button or object is somewhere else this time;
- something unexpected appears, such as a pop-up or a full inventory, and every click after it is wrong;
- the task needs a decision: do this until that happens, then do something else.
How Genesis is different
It waits for the screen
Each step waits for what told you it had finished - a number changing, a panel opening, an item arriving - not a fixed pause.
It finds things
It recognises buttons, items, text and objects by sight, so it still clicks the right thing when it has moved.
It makes decisions
A Genesis task is a graph, not a list: "when the bag is full, go to the bank; otherwise keep going". It works this out from your recording.
It moves like you
Mouse paths, click positions and timing come from your own measured movement, not robotic straight lines and identical pauses.
It runs for hours
Plans, breaks and a slower pace late in a long session, with a log of every run so you can see what happened.

Auto clicker, macro recorder or Genesis?
| Auto clicker | Macro recorder | Genesis | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Clicking one spot over and over | A short, fixed sequence that never varies | Multi-step tasks that depend on what is on screen |
| Sees the screen | No | No | Yes |
| Copes when things move | No | No | Yes |
| Waits for things to finish | No - fixed interval | No - fixed pauses | Yes |
| Makes decisions | No | Rarely, by scripting | Yes, learned from your recording |
| Human-like movement | No | Replays one recording | Your own movement, varied every time |
| Set-up | Seconds | Minutes | An environment for the program (install one, or build it once), then a few minutes' recording |
Use the simplest tool that works
If all you need is to click one place every few seconds, use an auto clicker - it is quicker to set up and does the job. Genesis is worth it when the task has several steps, takes a long time, or needs to react to what is on screen.
How to automate a task with Genesis
- Create a free account and install Genesis on Windows.
- Get an environment for the program: install a ready-made one, build one in the Environment Editor, or let the AI assistant build it from a screenshot.
- Press Calibrate and do the task a few times, normally. Genesis records what you click and what was on screen when you clicked it.
- Press Start. Adjust any step afterwards in the visual editor - or download a task someone else has already built.
Common questions
What is the difference between a macro recorder and Genesis?
A macro recorder replays exactly what you did: the same clicks, at the same places, at the same speed. If anything on screen has moved, changed or not finished loading, it carries on regardless. Genesis also records you doing the task, but it learns what you were looking at each time you clicked, so when it runs it watches the screen and acts on what is actually there.
Is Genesis an auto clicker?
It can do everything an auto clicker does, but for simply clicking one spot over and over a plain auto clicker is simpler and does the job. Genesis is for tasks with more than one step, where what to do next depends on what is on screen.
Does it work with any program?
Genesis runs on Windows and works with practically anything it can see on screen. It needs an environment for the program - a map of where its panels, buttons and text are. Ready-made environments can be installed in one click, and you can build your own, or have the AI assistant build it from a screenshot.
Can it type text and use keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. Key presses and typed text are recorded and replayed as part of the task, with timing taken from how you type.
Is it free?
Genesis is free for an hour a day, every day. Paid plans give longer sessions and more tasks running at once.
Try it on your own task
Genesis is free for an hour a day - enough to record a task and watch it run.
