I had one that I used to dual-box on FlyFF to make my Seraph heal my Templar at 1 second intervals.
Basically, the third-party program just simulates keyboard input to the other window.

Freemium games from Korea and Japan I really don't want to go back to, because with those free games, cheating is a plague that more players are doing because they know there is little that the US licensee can do fix the exploits.
"add-ons" aka, hacks, mods, cheats, bots. Unless the game implicitly allows it (none do, for obvious liability reasons) the extent that you're going to get is internal macros, and the occasional authorized API meant to enhance the UI/UX, not write bots.
A game is a utter failure if the cheating is rampant enough that players are actually seeing it repeatedly. This game does have an auto-follow mechanic, but that doesn't allow someone to multi-box, it's meant for things like the FATE system where one person (eg the party leader) is watching for the FATE and everyone else is in "follow-train" mode so that players aren't left behind.
But most of the cheaty-type stuff I've seen in FFXIV comes from the RMT trash, and getting stuck in dungeon parties with bots that you can't abandon/kick them from.
There are things like this in Diablo II. But the thing is it is setup to only take commands from a name that's added in to the program. So either they are working on a new bot or dual boxing.
it's called dual boxing and many people do it
This is in no way a new thing in this game. at the start of this game there were whole parties running around the map doing this exact thing.
report them, SE frowns on third pt programs that do this.
