Building automations manually takes way too long

I realized that describing a task to an AI or building it in a visual editor always fails because we forget to mention tiny steps. The only way to get an automation right is to just do the task. So I built tapeonce.com. You just screen record yourself doing the boring work for five minutes. The system watches your actual clicks and spits out a ready to use n8n flow. You just paste the file and it works. It is the best way to automate without losing your mind mapping out logic trees. Stop being a meat robot. Let the computer watch and learn. Refuse the manual loop.

    The interesting part is capturing the hidden steps people forget when designing automations.

    Curious how you handle edge cases after recording — like decisions, exceptions, or steps that depend on changing data?
