Clipy is an innovative AI agent-native screen recorder designed to streamline communication and development workflows by making screen recordings readable and actionable for AI agents. It allows users to record their screen, webcam, and audio with zero friction, providing an instant shareable link without requiring viewer sign-ups or app installations.
A core differentiator of Clipy is its "agent-native" capability. Every recording shared via Clipy generates a public markdown document (.arec) alongside the video. This document contains an AI-generated summary, a full timestamped transcript, and key moments with extracted frames, click targets, and cursor paths. This structured context enables AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to "read" the recording and understand the user's intent, allowing them to act directly on the information provided. For instance, a developer can record a bug, and an AI agent can then read the recording's .arec document to understand the issue, including the exact button clicked and any console errors, and potentially open a pull request to fix it.
Key features include:
- AI Agent-Native Recordings: Shareable links provide both a video for humans and a structured markdown document for AI agents, detailing summaries, transcripts, key moments, and interaction data.
- Zero Friction Recording: Record directly in the browser (Chrome extension and Mac app also available) without any app installation or sign-up required to start.
- Free Core Features: Offers unlimited recording length, HD to 4K quality, instant shareable links, and no watermarks, features often paywalled by competitors.
- Loom Migration: Users can import their existing Loom video libraries, converting them into agent-readable formats.
- Comprehensive Toolset: Beyond screen recording, Clipy provides a suite of free video tools for conversion (e.g., WebM to MP4, MP4 to GIF), compression, editing (trim, crop, rotate), and audio extraction.
- Privacy by Default: Recordings are unlisted by default, ensuring only those with the link can view them, and can be deleted at any time.
- Agent Skill Integration: Easily integrate with AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via a simple skill installation, allowing agents to fetch and process
.arecdocuments automatically from Clipy links.
Clipy is built for a wide range of users, including:
- Developers: To record bugs, allowing agents to open PRs based on visual and contextual information.
- QA Teams: To document manual tests, enabling agents to generate automated test suites.
- Product Managers: To explain product features, with agents filing tickets and attaching relevant frames.
- Marketing Professionals: To create demos, which agents can convert into changelogs or help documentation.
- Support Teams: To demonstrate fixes, allowing agents to publish step-by-step guides.
The platform emphasizes efficiency, aiming to reduce the time from "I should show you this" to a working, actionable link, eliminating the need for lengthy explanations or re-explaining issues. It's backed by Codersera, a company with over a decade of experience in building developer tools.
