Work at your natural pace—mimic's AI will understand the intent behind your actions even if you make small mistakes or corrections along the way.

Step 4: Stop and Upload

When you're done, click Stop or press the same keyboard shortcut. mimic will package your recording session—including screenshots, interaction data, and any audio narration—and upload it for AI processing.

Step 5: Review and Run

Once processed, you'll receive an automation script that can be reviewed, edited, and executed. The AI transforms your recorded actions into a robust, replayable workflow.
