Overview

A second example uses a tutorial that explains how to build a lead-scraping workflow in a no-code automation tool.

The video-to-action skill is triggered with the tutorial link. Gemini analyzes the video and creates a detailed breakdown. The breakdown includes the sequence of nodes, configuration choices, interface actions, approximate timestamps, and the expected final layout.

The resulting analysis is stored in a file. A new agent instance receives the instruction to use that file to build the same workflow.

The execution agent then:

  • Opens a browser through Chrome DevTools MCP.
  • Connects to the automation account.
  • Reads the detailed instruction file.
  • Creates the workflow structure.
  • Generates and imports workflow data.
  • Configures nodes.
  • Maps fields.
  • Selects interface elements.
  • Enters a test search.
  • Runs the workflow.
  • Continues testing until the flow functions.

The value comes from combining two kinds of understanding. The agent needs a macro view of the complete workflow and a micro view of individual interface actions. The structured analysis provides both.

The procedure illustrates a general design pattern:

Video understanding produces a procedure. A persistent file stores the procedure. An action-capable agent uses tools to execute the procedure. Testing closes the loop.
