AutoWidget is intended to work with any path in Kodi. To add a path to an AutoWidget group, open the context menu on the item, and choose "Add to AutoWidget Group". Depending on the type of the item you're adding, a handful of different options are available. After choosing the type of path you want to add the item as, you can then choose (or make a new) a group to add it to.
After you've set up groups with paths in them, it's time to point widgets at them. In your skin of choice's Skin Shortcuts management dialog, you can point any widget at an AutoWidget path.
To use a random AutoWidget, point a widget at AutoWidget -> *Your Widget Group*-> Random Path from *Your Widget Group* -> Use as widget. After Skin Shortcuts rebuilds the skin's menu, the widget you just set (and any other uninitialized AutoWidget) will be displayed with a single icon, labeled "Initialize Widgets". Choosing this item will cause a skin reload, but will initialize any defined AutoWidgets, and allow them to be refreshed on AutoWidget's schedule, automatically replacing the widget content with random path from the defined group, every so often (every two hours, by default).
Lastly, but certainly not leastly, by navigating to AutoWidget -> *Your Shortcut Group*-> Shortcuts from *Your Shortcut Group* -> Use as widget, you'll end up with a shortcut widget, similar to what many skins call a "submenu" or "category" widget.
