Video-Viewing-Automator


Introduction: This AutoIt Application was written to automate the job of watching videos, selecting next videos (managing the network anomalies, change in network speeds) for a website which paid users to do so. This was my first Business Application which was actually used by a third party.

April 2016 - Aug 2015 (6 Hours/Day) September 2015 - December 2016 (3 Hours/Day)

Vision: The project was aimed at automating a job which required 24x7 human interaction to something which was capable of running all on it's own with close to zero human intervention.

Result

  • Saved the company 33% in revenue
  • Increased efficiency by 50%
  • Eradicated the need of any Human Interaction
  • whatsoever, dealing with powercuts and Internet Speed drops on it's own.

Conclusion After all the Stats Generation, and running successfully for a month the website went offline and turned out to be a scam and thus due to unavoidable circumstances the project failed to generate me any revenue, my efforts practically being futile; Though looking back, the experience I gained during the development of the application prepared me for my future projects.
