In this short demo, Nick Perry introduces OpenAI’s new Record and Replay feature, which lets users teach their computer to perform any repetitive, boring task by demonstrating it once while Codex observes. The system records each step, converts the workflow into a reusable “skill,” and can later execute the same process on new inputs automatically. Perry illustrates the concept with a YouTube video upload: the user selects a file, sets a thumbnail, adds captions, and marks the video private; after recording, the user can simply hand the next video to Codex and command it to upload, with the entire sequence running autonomously. The core claim is that any mind‑numbing repeatable task can be captured once and then performed forever without further manual effort.

You can now teach your computer to do any boring task one time, and it'll do it for you forever. It's a new OpenAI feature called Record and Replay. You do the task once while Codex watches, and it turns the whole thing into a skill. Say you're uploading a YouTube video. You walk through it one time, grab the file, set the thumbnail, drop in the captions, mark it private, and that's it. It learned every step. Now anytime you need it, you just hand Codex the next video and say, upload this, and it runs the entire thing on its own while you sit there and watch. So every mind-numbing task you do on repeat, you record it once and never touch it again. Save this one so you got it ready.
