Question #261010 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Sikuli is only about pixels on a screen or in an image and nothing about
the internals of a GUI or application like e.g. Selenium.

So it does not matter, what applet or application controls what can be
seen on a screen, it is all pixels. And though Sikuli can control the
mouse and produce keyboard input (Java Robot), it does not know how and
wether at all, this is recognised by whatever you-name-it.

You create a visual workflow, that finds it's way by an intelligent
sequence of waiting for visual objects (pixel areas) to appear and then
issue appropriate mouse/keyboard actions.

Though the reality is a bit more complicated, but that is it in the end.
