How to automate this
Workers want this gone, but today's tools only get part of the way. Automate the edges.
Repetitive computer work
Record the steps once, then replay them.
- 1Record the exact clicks and keystrokes you repeat to write or install energy management routines for building automation systems, then replay them with shortcuts, text expanders, and macros.
- 2Automate multi-app workflows with no-code (Power Automate, Zapier, Make).
- 3For browser routines, use a record-and-replay tool.
