You install the tool on your primary work computer and keep it running through your normal schedule for at least four weeks. The assistant runs in the background and records your screen as you complete everyday professional tasks. The study collects real usage data, and at the end you may give short feedback on how the tool performed.

Let the software capture your screen throughout your regular workday.
Follow your usual professional schedule at about 40 hours per week for four weeks or longer.
