Every weekday evening
Every evening I open a reporting app from the 2000s and click the same six menus to export the day's sales to a CSV for head office.
How it goes now
Open the reporting app.Reports, then Daily sales.Type today's date.Export as CSV.Find the shared folder.Confirm, and wait.Tomorrow, the same six clicks.
Every weekday, the same six clicks.
Tell Kitewell once
Every weekday at 6pm, open Depot, export today's Daily sales as a CSV to the Exports folder, and make sure it confirms.
That's the whole setup. Kitewell lays out every step for you to check, and nothing is saved until you apply it.
Then it runs on its own

Good to know
- The first evening the model learns the six clicks. Every evening after, the recording replays them: on Windows by the app's own menus and buttons, on macOS from the screen. This is the RPA job: authored once by AI, then run as recorded.
- When the app is updated and a button moves, it relearns only the clicks that broke and keeps going. Set it to use no AI at all, and a changed app stops the run with what moved instead of guessing.
- Your computer needs to be on and awake when it runs. A run missed while it slept starts when it wakes, within 24 hours by default.
What it needs
- An Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini model that can use a computer
- Screen Recording and Accessibility allowed on macOS, or Kitewell running in your session on Windows
More chores
- Every weekday morningEvery morning I log in to our supplier's portal, download the new invoices, and type each one into an accounting app from 2009.
- Every few daysEvery few days I open each emailed invoice, copy the supplier and the total into a spreadsheet, and file the email away.
- Whenever new orders come inI go down an order list in Excel, place each order on a supplier's website, and type the receipt number back into the sheet.
