RobotGo is a native cross-platform Go library for desktop automation, RPA, and AI computer use. It controls the mouse and keyboard, reads the screen, manages window handles, processes images/bitmaps with OpenCV, and listens to global events on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Use cases

  • automate mouse and keyboard input in Go
  • build RPA bots for desktop applications
  • capture and analyze the screen for UI automation
  • write automated GUI tests for desktop apps
  • control windows and window handles programmatically
  • implement AI computer-use agents that operate a desktop
  • listen to global keyboard and mouse events

When to avoid

  • you need a pure-Go solution without cgo or native build dependencies
  • you're automating web browsers only (use a browser automation tool instead)
  • you need mobile or web automation rather than desktop
  • your stack is Python/JS and you don't want Go bindings
