ProblemThe tasks that eat your week are tedious to describe and trivial to demonstrate.

TechniqueOpen a one-to-one Bot conversation and its computer view, choose Teach a task, describe the result you are about to demonstrate, perform the workflow once, and stop the recording. Pick something recurring, multi-tool and stable.

Why it worksDemonstration captures exactly what you would never think to mention, such as skipping rows with a blank owner or using the keyboard shortcut because the export button is broken.

When to useWeekly-or-more, two-or-more systems, steps that rarely change.

When not toAnything over ten minutes, or that depends on audio; recording captures visible interaction only.
