What it does BetterGI is a Windows desktop app that overlays Genshin Impact and uses computer vision to automate the tedious parts: auto-picking loot, skipping dialogue, fishing, running domains, farming wood, and even a “one-click daily routine” mode. It simulates mouse and keyboard input without touching game files or memory.

The interesting bit The project draws a hard line on anti-cheat paranoia: it explicitly avoids reading game memory or modifying files, relying purely on screen capture and simulated clicks. The README even warns users to “keep a low profile” because miHoYo’s ban policy is “free”—their word for unpredictable.

Key highlights

• 13K+ stars, active releases with CI builds and a Chinese mirror (CNB) for faster downloads
• Supports 16:9 only, recommends 1920×1080 windowed; breaks on HDR, filters, or resolution changes
• Overlay window shows real-time logs and CV recognition results
• Requires admin rights because Genshin itself runs elevated
• GPL v3, .NET 8 runtime required, Windows 10+ only

Caveats

• Performance-hungry: “low config” PCs struggle; you need mid-settings 60fps baseline
• Security software (360, Windows Defender custom rules) may flag simulated clicks
• No Linux, no Mac, no ultrawide—strictly a Windows 16:9 tool

Verdict Genshin players who treat the game like a second job and don’t mind the ban-policy ambiguity. Skip it if you play on console, run Linux, or actually enjoy the fishing minigame.
