Claude now learns a job by watching it
Anthropic has added a feature called Record a Skill to Claude Cowork: you record your screen while doing a task and talk through what you are doing, and Claude turns that recording into a skill it can run again. The feature is offered on Pro, Max and Team plans. This issue covers the July 23 agenda and was published on July 25, 2026 to complete the archive.
Show it, narrate it, run it again
Anthropic released Record a Skill inside Claude Cowork, with details reported by industry press on July 22, 2026. The logic is simple: you record your screen while performing a task the way you normally would, explaining your decisions as you go. When the recording ends, Claude extracts a skill from the demonstration and can carry out the same work again. By the company's description, what gets captured is not only the order of clicks but the reasoning behind the work.
Which plans have it, and how teams share it
The feature is available on Pro, Max and Team plans and runs through the desktop app. On Team plans, the skills created can be shared across the workspace, so a process one person records once can become the team's shared standard. This adds an option to the existing ways of building skills: writing the instructions by hand, asking Claude to create a skill from a written description, or uploading a prepared skill package.
It is worth noting the idea is not unique to Anthropic: in June 2026, OpenAI released a record and replay feature working on similar logic, limited to Mac users at the time. Reaction to the new feature has run in two directions: relief at being able to hand off repetitive work, and concern about the future of the roles that do it.
The expensive part of automation was writing the instructions
The hard part of handing a process to AI was never the model's ability, it was getting what an experienced person knows out of their head and onto paper. A seasoned employee rarely explains what they do at each exception or why a particular field matters; they simply do it. Screen recording aims to close that gap: instead of writing the instructions, you do the work once. As the threshold for automation drops, the difference accumulates in which process you hand over and how you supervise it.
What it means for businesses in Türkiye
One of the most fragile things about small and mid-sized businesses in Türkiye is that process knowledge is undocumented and lives in one person's head. When that person takes leave or moves on, the work stops. Turning a recording into a skill makes that knowledge transferable both to automation and to a new hire, since the recording doubles as training material. Good candidates are repetitive tasks with clear rules: compiling reports, data entry, preparing quotes and invoices, updating product descriptions. Two cautions matter, though. The first is KVKK: if customer data, identity details or pricing agreements are visible on screen during the recording, that data goes into the recording, so the screen should be cleared beforehand. The second is the limit of authority: hard-to-reverse steps such as making payments, cancelling orders or committing to a customer should stay under human approval.
The UNALSOFT take
Our reading is this: the first step in automating a job is not choosing a technology, it is making visible how the job is actually done. Screen recording makes that visibility cheap, but deciding what to hand over and where a human stays in the loop is still yours to make. In our Agentic AI service we map the processes first, then define the boundaries and approval points, and build the automation on top of that. Recording is easy; making the right call is what counts.
Process first, automation second.
Let's work out which tasks are actually ready to be handed over.
