Introduction

Recording lets you capture a browser workflow and turn it into a reusable skill automatically. Instead of writing a skill from scratch, you perform the task once in a guided browser session and Duvo generates the skill for you. This is the fastest way to create browser-based skills. No code, no manual file authoring — just do the work and Duvo learns it.

​
When to Use Recording

Recording is the right choice when:
  1. The task is a repetitive browser workflow (filling forms, navigating dashboards, extracting data)
  2. The system has no API and must be operated through its UI
  3. You want to onboard team members to a browser process without writing documentation manually
  4. The workflow follows a consistent sequence of steps each time it runs
For tasks that require complex branching logic or conditional decisions, consider Creating Custom Skills manually instead.

​
How to Record a Skill

​
Step 1. Start a Recording

Go to Skills and Files in the Resources section and click Record Browsing Skill. A browser session launches in an embedded window.

​
Step 2. Perform the Workflow

Click Start Recording and carry out the task as you normally would:
  • Navigate to pages
  • Click buttons and links
  • Fill in form fields
  • Scroll, hover, and interact with elements
  • Switch tabs if the workflow spans multiple pages
Work at a steady pace. Every action you take is captured.

​
Step 3. Stop the Recording

When you have completed the workflow, click Stop Recording.

​
Step 4. Name and Describe the Skill

Enter a name and description for the skill. The description should explain what the skill does and when to use it — this helps assignments understand when to apply it.

​
Step 5. Save

Duvo generates the skill automatically from your recording. It is now available to attach to any assignment.

​
What Gets Captured

The recorder tracks the actions you take during the session:
  • Clicks — buttons, links, menus, checkboxes, radio buttons
  • Text input — form fields, search boxes, text areas
  • Navigation — page loads, URL changes, tab switches
  • Scrolling — page and element scrolls
  • Hovers — tooltips and dropdown triggers
  • Keypresses — keyboard shortcuts and special keys
The recording captures what you did and where you did it, so the skill can replay the same steps reliably.

​
Tips for Clean Recordings

  • Go slowly. Rushing can cause missed or misordered steps.
  • Avoid unnecessary clicks. Every action is recorded. Stray clicks become extra steps the skill will try to replay.
  • Use clear, realistic form values. The recorded values serve as examples for how the skill fills in data.
  • Complete the full workflow. Start from the beginning of the task and finish at a natural endpoint.
  • Keep it focused. Record one workflow per skill. If a process has distinct phases, consider recording separate skills for each.

​
Key Takeaway

Recording is the quickest path from a manual browser task to a reusable, automated skill. Perform the workflow once, and Duvo handles the rest.
