The AI filmed and exported a how-to video for my dad

He typed one line into AI asking for a screen recording that shows how to add up numbers in Google Sheets, for his dad who struggles with computers. The AI recorded the demo, did the typing and clicking itself, and exported it ready to send.

How it works

  1. Types one instruction into AI
  2. The AI records a demo and does the typing and clicking in Google Sheets
  3. Exports the video ready to send

Why it’s worth knowing

He did not record anything himself. The AI worked the computer, filmed it, and handed back a finished video.
