The Scenario

You have a repetitive administrative task that involves moving data between different software applications or websites.

Before & after

The old way

A worker manually clicks through multiple browser tabs, copies data from a PDF, and pastes it into an ERP or spreadsheet, taking 45–60 minutes.

With AI

With 'computer use' capabilities in Gemini 3.5 Flash, you can delegate the navigation and data entry to the AI, completing the task in under 5 minutes.

The Prompt

Using your computer use capabilities, look at the [OPEN_FILE/SITUATION] and automate the process of extracting the invoice data and entering it into my [TARGET_APPLICATION].

The 'computer use' capability allows the model to interact with interfaces similarly to a human, automating multi-step digital workflows.
