Recording Learning

Demonstrate a complete workflow so a Waker can learn the steps and turn them into a reusable Skill.

Recording Learning lets you demonstrate a workflow on your computer. The Waker uses the operation record and your explanation to understand the steps, then turns them into a reusable Skill when you explicitly request it. It is useful for web administration, fixed tool workflows, and repetitive work that needs spoken or written explanation alongside the actions. Recording Learning is not a screen-video recorder. Finishing a recording does not automatically create or publish a Skill. Return to the original conversation to review the learning result, clarify boundaries, and explicitly request that a Skill be saved or updated.
Recording can only be started from the local Console on a Mac running macOS 14 or later. Windows, Linux, IM, Autonomous Work, WakerFlow, and remote sessions cannot start a recording.

Before you begin

Confirm the following:
  • The Waker runs on a supported Mac, and you have opened the local Console on that device.
  • A compatible Computer Use shared component is installed. Recording Learning reuses this runtime component but has its own switch.
  • You are in a local one-to-one conversation with an ordinary Waker.
  • You have prepared a demonstration account, test data, and a complete operation path.
  • The pages do not contain passwords, tokens, customer information, or other sensitive content that should not be collected.
If the component is missing or incompatible, follow the on-screen instructions to install or upgrade Computer Use. Do not switch devices or try to bypass the restriction in a remote session.

Enable Recording Learning

Path: Waker Management → select a Waker → Memory & Learning → Recording Learning.
  1. Turn on Recording Learning.
  2. Check the Computer Use component status.
  3. Follow the prompts to resolve missing components, incompatible versions, operating-system requirements, or processor-architecture issues.
  4. Return to the Waker's local direct conversation.
Enabling the feature does not grant macOS permissions. The native component still checks permissions and requests confirmation every time recording starts.

Record a workflow

  1. Click the recording button in the target Waker's direct-conversation input.
  2. Review what will be collected, grant the required system permissions, and complete the native confirmation.
  3. Explain the learning goal, starting point, and expected result in one sentence.
  4. Demonstrate the operations in their actual order. Pause at important decisions to explain why, rather than only showing where to click.
  5. Explain the conditions and handling for branches, exceptions, and steps requiring human confirmation.
  6. Choose Stop and keep on the floating control bar when finished. Choose Discard if you made a mistake, entered a sensitive page, or did not complete the workflow.
  7. Return to the original conversation and wait for the Waker to interpret and summarize the demonstration.
Keep one recording focused on one stable goal, such as extracting fields from a ticket and entering them in a test administration system. Do not combine account applications, production releases, and weekly reporting in the same recording.

Turn the recording into a Skill

After recording, ask the Waker in the original conversation to:
  1. Summarize the goal, prerequisites, inputs, steps, and completion criteria.
  2. Distinguish stable rules from data specific to this demonstration.
  3. Add exception branches, stop conditions, and high-risk actions that require human confirmation.
  4. Define which requests should trigger the Skill and when it should not be used.
  5. Create a new Skill, or update an existing Skill only when you explicitly identify it.
For example: 
Draft a Skill based on the recording I just kept.
Goal: handle one test ticket at a time.
Keep: field validation, page navigation, result checks, and failure handling.
Exclude: the account, customer data, and temporary page content used in this demonstration.
High-risk boundary: stop and ask me to confirm before submitting, deleting, or switching to production.
Show me the trigger conditions, steps, and completion criteria first. Do not overwrite an existing Skill directly.
Test the created Skill with similar but different data. Confirm that the Waker triggers it in the correct situation, does not retain demonstration-specific data, and stops before high-risk steps.

Manage learning results

Return to Memory & Learning → Recording Learning to view the generated Skills and their source-task links.
  • Open the source task to review the original goal, explanation, and learning result.
  • Open the Skill to inspect its triggers, steps, permission boundaries, and completion criteria.
  • When the workflow changes, demonstrate it again and explicitly request an update to the corresponding Skill.
  • If the result is overfitted, contains temporary data, or has unclear boundaries, edit or disable it before using it for automation or production work.
The Recording Learning page does not provide replay or export of raw operation records.

Privacy and data retention

  • The native component on the current device starts recording, with permission checks and confirmation each time.
  • By default, it collects operation events, session information, and accessibility snapshots. This is not ordinary video recording.
  • Screenshots are optional and are included only when the relevant selection and permissions allow them.
  • Collected content may be sent to your selected model to analyze the workflow.
  • Raw recording material is deleted 30 days after the recording ends, including operation events, session metadata, accessibility snapshots, and optional screenshots.
  • Generated Skills and source-task links are not automatically deleted when the raw material expires.
Close unrelated apps and pages before starting, and use test accounts and de-identified data. If sensitive content is accidentally captured, stop and discard immediately rather than waiting until the end.

Troubleshooting

SymptomWhat to check
Recording button is missingDirect conversation → Waker switch → local Console → supported macOS
Component is missing or outdatedFollow the prompts to install or upgrade the Computer Use shared component
Remote environment is unsupportedReturn to the local Console on the Waker's Mac; remote sessions cannot start recording
System permission cannot be obtainedCheck macOS permission settings, then restart recording and confirm
Recording finished but no Skill was createdReturn to the original conversation, explicitly request creation or an update, and review the draft first
Skill only works with demonstration dataRemove temporary values and add variables, triggers, exception branches, and completion criteria
Need to replay or export the raw recordingThe current page does not support raw-record replay or export
