Start with the one task you did three times this month
Hand it over as a plain-language instruction, watch one run, tighten the wording, then put it on a schedule. Forty minutes becomes five.
Take one browser task you repeat, like the weekly report assembly, the Monday list refresh or the daily status sweep, and hand it to a companion as a plain-language instruction. Watch it run once, correct where it hesitated, then put it on a schedule as a routine.
A companion works your real, logged-in tabs, so it survives the redesign that would break a script: it reads the rendered page the way you do rather than following a selector. In Strawberry, an agentic browser for Mac and Windows, a proven pass gets saved as a Skill and reused with one line, and consequential steps stop at an approval card.
What does the method look like, step by step?
Pick the task by annoyance times frequency. Write the instruction as you would for a capable temp: sources, steps, what done looks like, and what to do when unsure ("flag, do not guess").
Run it attended once and watch where it hesitates, because that is where the instruction was vague. Tighten, rerun, and after a few clean runs schedule it as a routine and move to reviewing the output.
What does a worked automation look like?
The Friday ops report, before: forty minutes of opening the payments dashboard, the analytics tool, the support queue, the warehouse portal and two sheets, copying the same nine numbers into a template, and writing three lines of commentary.
After: a routine runs Friday at 8:00, pulls the nine numbers from the same six logged-in sources, fills the template, drafts the commentary as bullets with the numbers that drove them, and leaves the result for review. Five minutes, one bullet fixed, sent. More in this shape live at AI for repetitive browser work and real runs.
What to hand over first
The tasks with a clear definition of done and a weekly or daily rhythm: report assembly, list refreshes, status sweeps, CRM data entry.
Once a pass runs clean a few times, save it as a Skill and it becomes one line to reuse, or a routine that runs without being asked. That is also where the population served by browser-task automation grows past the people who can code.
What stays on your desk
Judgment at the center of a task rather than at its edges, and anything too rare to repay writing the instruction. Hand over the weekly and the daily first.
The approval model keeps the scheduled versions on a leash: consequential actions pause for your click, and Ask Always in Settings → AI permissions confirms everything, per the security page.
