The Scenario

Your team has a weekly data-entry task that requires navigating multiple internal dashboards and copy-pasting values into a CRM.

Before & after

The old way

Standardizing a multi-step digital process usually involves writing a 5-page SOP or recording a video that others have to watch and replicate manually, taking 30–60 minutes per person.

With AI

Using the Record & Replay feature in Codex, you record the action once (2 minutes) and the AI converts it into a repeatable skill you can run instantly.

The Prompt

[RECORDING_COMPLETE] Analyze the workflow I just recorded for [TASK_NAME] and save it as a repeatable skill titled '[SKILL_NAME]' to be used with browser actions.

This feature uses 'Computer Use' to capture your inputs and turn them into a reusable skill for Codex, browser actions, or plugins.
