About TapeOnce

TapeOnce records a user’s screen performing a repetitive task and generates a custom n8n automation that replicates the process. The tool analyzes the recording to identify every click, app interaction, and field entry, then produces a detailed report estimating time and cost savings. A custom n8n flow is created and wired to the user’s actual applications, eliminating the need for manual repetition. The process is guided by a concierge chat that assists with credential setup, testing, and deployment. Users receive three deliverables: a process analysis, a time and savings estimate, and the ready-to-use n8n flow. The generated automation is specific to the recorded routine and can be imported directly into n8n. Video files are deleted after analysis, and no prompts or templates are required.

What should I record with TapeOnce?

Record one full run of a repetitive process lasting between 5 and 15 minutes. The recording should capture the entire task from start to finish without interruptions.
