Agent-readable recording

Updated: July 2026

An agent-readable recording is a screen recording whose share link doubles as a structured text document (summary, key moments, click targets, and transcript) that AI agents can read instead of watching video.

This is the category Clipy is coining. The open format that encodes it is AREC (Agent Recording), and the document it produces is the markdown twin. One share link has two faces: a human opening it in a browser gets a video player, an agent fetching it gets the text.

For example, you hit a bug where the Export CSV button on a payouts dashboard spins forever. You record it once. Instead of typing a paragraph that loses the timing and the exact UI state, you paste the link into your agent. The agent reads what happened, when, and where, then opens the fix PR.

Short clips are agent-ready in about 10 seconds. Recording is free; you sign in with Google to save and share.
