Recordings

A recording captures a job you do yourself in one tab and saves it as named steps, so the agent can repeat it later against the live page.

Site maps describe how a site is laid out; recordings describe a task you perform on it.

Recording

Press Record in the side panel's Recordings tab, do the job yourself (click through the pages, fill the fields, submit the form), then press stop. Or say it:

record my browsing session
stop recording

Both are instant commands. A recording only ever starts from your own click or your own words.

Browsentic splits what you did into ordered steps, names them after what you accomplished, and keeps them in a renameable list.

A recording follows only the tab it started in. Navigations inside that tab become steps, other tabs are ignored, and closing the tab stops and saves it. It runs for at most 15 minutes, warns you at 13, and stops itself at the limit.

What you type is not saved by default

Every field becomes a placeholder, such as or, and you are asked for the value when the recording is replayed.

Tick Save what I type to keep the literal values instead. Either way, passwords, hidden fields, one-time codes and anything shaped like a card number are always dropped.

Replaying 

do it like last time

Replay is not blind playback. The agent treats the steps as a plan:

  • it re-checks each target against the live page before acting;
  • it prefers the visible text it recorded over the CSS selector, because selectors are what a redesign breaks first;
  • anything consequential still waits for approval, even though you did it yourself while recording;
  • if a step no longer lands, the run stops and tells you which one instead of improvising a different route to the same result.

If two recordings could match what you asked for, you are asked which one. The agent never guesses between them, because replaying the wrong workflow spends real clicks on your real account.

Where they live

In the extension's own storage, not on disk. That is why browsentic skills does not list them, and why page_listRecordings and page_readRecording exist as tools. Removing the extension removes them.

A recording leaves the browser only for the local, one-shot call that turns the raw trace into named steps.
