That's the WWDC keynote address by Steve et al.
Sal Soghoian gives the Automator demo, which is a clue in and of itself. :)
I presume it's Apple events underneath, with something like Photoshop's
actions palette on top. It's not at all clear whether applescript gets a
look in.
It will be clear when you watch the keynote address.
I just watched it and it seems like it is built on AppleScript, or
at least on Apple Events. When Sal saved the "workflow", it was saved
to the Scripts folder, and run from the scripts menu. I was left
wondering if you could open the "workflow" in Script Editor and find
an AppleScript lurking inside. It would never, as shown, be able to
replace hand tuned scripts, but seems more like "scripting for
Granny" (of course excluding the list's resident granny). Looked like
it was nudging into the territory of QuicKeys, but without the level
of control the it offers.
