3. Create Automation from a Recording

This chapter describes the main path from "do the task once" to a reusable workflow.

3.1 Start Your First Recording

You can start from the home page:

• Click Start Recording.
• Or, if you already have workflows, use the Create new workflow card and click Start Recording.

The app will:

1. Open or connect to a browser.
2. Begin capturing your actions.

3.2 Perform the Task Once

While recording:

• Use the browser normally to complete the task you want to automate.
• Include any copy-paste or data collection steps you want Ami to reuse.

During recording Ami typically captures:

• Page navigations (opening pages, following links, switching between tabs).
• Clicks on buttons, links, and other interactive elements.
• Text input in forms and fields, including paste operations.
• Text selections that you highlight to copy or reference later.
• Scrolling and some viewport changes that are important to replay the task.

This information is used later to understand your intent and to generate a workflow that can replay the same task.

When you are done, stop the recording from the recording controls.

3.3 Analyze and Clean Up the Recording

After stopping recording you will see an analysis view:

• Review the captured steps.
• Optionally remove incorrect steps or adjust descriptions.

3.4 Generate a Workflow

From the analysis flow you can start generation:

• The app converts your recording into a structured workflow.
• You can preview the workflow before saving it.

Later chapters cover how to manage and run these workflows.
