Teach a bot by showing it once

⏱️ 15 minutes per routine · 🎯 Easy · 💵 Included in your plan

🧰 Before you start

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

  1. ☐
    1. Pick a repeat task

    Choose something you do the same way every week, e.g. downloading a report and pasting numbers into a sheet.

  2. ☐
    2. Open the desktop app

    Teaching by showing only works on the desktop app, not on the phone.

  3. ☐
    3. Ask the Bot to follow along

    Type the 'Watch me' prompt below. The Bot will watch the steps on its computer as you do them.

  4. ☐
    4. Do the task once, slowly

    Go through each step. Say out loud in the chat anything that isn't obvious, e.g. 'skip rows marked cancelled'.

  5. ☐
    5. Let it save the routine

    The Bot saves the steps as a skill (a saved how-to it can repeat). Give it a clear name.

  6. ☐
    6. Test it

    Ask: 'Run that routine now on [this week's file]'. Correct anything it gets wrong; corrections stick.

  7. ☐
    7. Put it on a schedule

    Ask: 'Run this routine every [Monday at 9 a.m.] and message me the result.'

💬 Prompts to copy

💬 Watch me
I'm going to show you how I do [task name] once. Please follow along and save it as a reusable skill called "[short name]".
The goal of the task is [what the end result is].
Things to watch out for: [exceptions, e.g. ignore test entries, use the latest file only].
After I finish, repeat the steps back to me in a numbered list so I can check you understood.
💬 Schedule it
Run the "[skill name]" skill every [day/time, Malaysia time].
When finished, message me: what you did, anything unusual, and a link to the result.
If something looks wrong (e.g. totals off by more than [10%]), stop and ask me instead of guessing.
