Show AI a task once and let it repeat it
“I do the same steps on my computer every week.”
Record yourself doing the task (talk through it), have AI turn that into step-by-step instructions, then let an agent run them with you checking.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Record your screen while narrating each step and why.
- Ask the AI to turn the recording or your notes into numbered instructions.
- Have an agent run the instructions while you watch, and fix steps that fail.
Copy this prompt
Here's a recording/notes of me doing [task]: [file or notes]. Turn it into numbered instructions an assistant can follow: where to click, what to type, what to check. Mark steps needing logins or approvals as HUMAN. Stop after the instructions.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
