A Loom alternative your agents can understand.
Loom added a special agent mode. Clipy makes every processed recording agent-ready: one link for people to watch, structured evidence for agents to act on, and a CLI agents can use to record their own verification.
QUICK ANSWER
Clipy makes every processed recording agent-readable on Mac, Chrome, and the web. Loom's Video Prompt beta adds agent-ready action plans to a special five-minute Chrome mode on Business + AI and Enterprise. Clipy keeps the normal recording flow and gives people a video while agents receive the transcript, visual evidence, and requested changes.
- Agent-readable recordings
- Agents record their own screen
- AI Q&A included
- Unlimited length
- Public links play without viewer signup

Every recording moves across with its Loom title intact. What you gain on the other side is a share link your agents can read.
What are Loom's current free-plan limits?
Loom's official pricing lists a five-minute recording limit and 25 videos per person on Starter. Atlassian's support documentation also says MP4 downloads require Business, Business + AI, or Enterprise.
Loom's official Starter plan limits each screen recording to five minutes.
Starter includes up to 25 videos per person before a paid plan is required.
Loom lists Business at $18 per user per month on monthly billing.
Atlassian documents video downloads as a Business, Business + AI, or Enterprise feature.
Those limits make local backup and migration harder. Clipy keeps public Loom MP4 downloads separate from its agent-readable recording workflow.
The recorder is the easy half.
Loom records your screen and so does everything else. The difference starts after you press stop, with what the recording turns into and whether anything other than a human can use it.
Point Claude Code at a YouTube link. It reads the video.
One command compiles any YouTube video, or a local file, into a markdown bundle your agent can actually work from: a timestamped transcript, the frames that carry information the words don't, and an honest score for where the transcript goes vague.
How video import worksTell your agent to watch it, and it lands in your library.
Your agent runs the import, reads the result, and the video stays in Clipy afterwards, not a one-off paste into a context window that vanishes when the session ends.
The Clipy CLINothing you give it is ever thrown away.
Every Clipy recording and every YouTube video you import is kept in your knowledge base permanently, and your agent can call any of it back at any time. Ask Claude Code which recording covered the pricing discussion and it searches every transcript you have ever added, then answers with the moment and the timestamp rather than a list of files.

Paste a public Loom share link into the importer and the recording lands in your Clipy library under your own share link, no watermark. Got years of them? Upload the CSV export and we migrate the lot. Single imports are free; bulk migration is part of the paid plans.
Migrating a whole Loom libraryThe same share link your team watches, your agent reads.
Add .arec to any Clipy URL and the video becomes an action document: intent, a draft plan, key moments with the frame and click target, capture gaps, and the full transcript. No export step, no second artifact to keep in sync.

Before you decide whether to migrate, get your existing recordings somewhere you control. These four tools do exactly that: no signup, no watermark, no credit card. The full set lives at /tools.

What makes Clipy agent-native rather than an agent mode?
Agents can read every recording
Loom Video Prompts are a separate five-minute Chrome mode on Business + AI and Enterprise. Clipy creates agent context from every processed recording across Mac, Chrome, and the web: requested changes, transcript, and key moments with frames and click targets.
Agents record their own screen
One command wires Clipy into your coding agent through the CLI, so it can record a walkthrough itself and read it back. Loom has no agent to hand the keys to.
AI Q&A on every recording
Ask "what did we decide about pricing?" and get an answer with clickable timestamps that jump the player to the exact moment.
Polished playback
Chapters, reactions, comments, transcript. Your viewers get a player that respects them: no ads, no upsells, no login wall.
