I really must get around to creating an FAQ :-)

No, Sprog is not 'inspired' by Automator. I don't have an Apple and I've never seen Automator beyond the screenshots on their web site. Sprog is the result of some ideas that I've been kicking around for the past six or seven years that I finally started writing code for last year.

Automator does look cool though and there are some uncanny similarities in the user interfaces of the two apps. Of course automator is streets ahead in actual functionality - I'm really just getting started with Sprog.

Update: there is an FAQ now.
