ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

AppleScript

AppleScript is a programming language used to understand instructions given to a computer or other device. It's like a set of instructions that tells the computer what to do, like saying "Pick up the ball!" to a robot. You can use AppleScript to control how your Mac and other Apple devices work and to automate certain tasks. For example, you could create an AppleScript that opens a certain program on your Mac every morning or that sends an automated message when you get an email.
