Is there a such thing as an automation tool?


The history of precision in the industrial revolution is rife with machine tools. Machines that make machines. Do we have automation for the process of making automation? I think AutoML is slightly different. Is this question meaningful or "not even wrong" in your opinion?

It seems like a robot that builds robots would be one example.

Another would be a program that writes programs. There's a word for that: metaprogramming and people do it all the time.
