Image:Automator Icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I read somewhere that the robot was nicknamed Otto. No one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.226.72 (talk) 06:41, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Mac game called Otto Matic (think about it) featuring a robot as the eponymous hero. That is not the same at the Automator robot but might be the cause of the confusion. Mandolamus (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would seem of interest what Automator's output is how the rest of OSX uses it... a question I came to this page hoping to resolve was "is Automator just a tool for authoring Applescripts" but the page was unhelpful. I would update but I do not know the answer myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T Sandwich (talk • contribs) 01:18, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
