1. A computer implemented method comprising: recording a series of actions to complete a task as a series of steps, wherein a first step corresponds to an action taken on a first application and a second step corresponds to an action taken on a second application, wherein the first application is different than the second application; saving the series of steps as a task-specific sequence object in a database, the task-specific sequence object comprising a task director configured to display the series of steps corresponding to actions to be taken by a user in a task director pane; identifying, by the user, the task-specific sequence object corresponding to the series of actions; and executing, by the user, the task-specific sequence object comprising the task director to visually help the user complete the task by simultaneously displaying, in a user interface, the task director configured to work across multiple different applications by displaying the series of steps corresponding to user actions for both the first application and the second application, wherein either the first application or the second application is displayed simultaneously along with the task director in the task director pane in correspondence with a step from among the series of steps corresponding to the user actions that are directed to a respective one of the first application or the second application.
