Automate Repetitive Workflows Using Codex Record & Replay
Demonstrate a workflow once to create an automated AI skill.
Use the 'Record & Replay' feature in the Codex macOS app to record manual screen actions and transform them into automated AI workflows.
The Scenario
You have a repetitive weekly task that involves clicking through multiple internal dashboards to gather data. Instead of doing it manually every Monday, you want an AI agent to handle the navigation and extraction for you.
Before & after
A user would manually document steps in a wiki or record a video that teammates then have to watch and mimic. This usually takes 30-60 minutes to document and 15 minutes for others to follow.
Use 'Record & Replay' to capture your screen movements. Codex converts the recording into a reusable skill that can be triggered later via the ChatGPT app or desktop, taking just 1-2 minutes to re-run.
The Prompt
Turn my recent 'Record & Replay' session for [DESCRIBE_TASK_NAME] into a reusable skill. Run this skill every time I ask you to [SPECIFIC_TRIGGER_COMMAND].
Record & Replay is a Codex app feature for macOS that lets you capture a workflow and turn it into a reusable skill. It is ideal for capturing stable, repeatable workflows like data entry into legacy systems or complex browser navigations.
