How AI agents record product demos, even behind a login
Demo videos have a production problem. Someone has to find a clean account, a quiet room, and twenty minutes, for every feature, every release, every language. Which is why most features ship without one. The agent recorder removes the someone.
What actually happens when an agent records
You tell your assistant: “record a 2-minute demo of the new billing flow.” Behind the scenes, the agent calls Rec's record_start, which launches a real browser with native video capture rolling. Full-quality video, not stitched screenshots. The agent then drives the app the way a user would: navigate, click, type, wait for screens to settle. At each step it drops a record_note on the timeline, so the recording documents itself.
On record_stop, Rec uploads the video, generates a summary with key timestamps, and writes a presenter-style narration script from the annotated timeline. A natural AI voice reads it, the audio is muxed onto the video, and what lands in your library is a finished, narrated walkthrough with a share link ready for Slack.
The login problem, solved properly
Anything worth demoing is behind a login, and the wrong answer is giving an AI your password. Rec's answer: when the agent hits a login wall, it calls authenticate and a visible browser window opens on your machine. You sign in yourself, with your password manager and your 2FA. The session is saved to a persistent local profile and reused next time. The agent gets a logged-in browser. It never gets credentials.
What teams point it at
- •Release walkthroughs. Merge, then send one sentence to Claude. The demo lands in #releases with a voiceover.
- •Evergreen docs videos. When the UI changes, re-run the same prompt instead of re-shooting the tutorial.
- •Competitive teardowns. Point the agent at a competitor's product and get an annotated, searchable record of their flows. More on that here.
- •Visual regression walkthroughs. Record the critical path after each deploy. When something looks wrong, you have video evidence with timestamps.
What it costs
Agent recording is included on every plan, free tier included. Recording is free and unlimited. The AI voiceover costs 2 credits per video minute (a credit is $0.02), and viewers' watch time uses the same per-minute credits as any other recording. An agent is not a seat, so it costs $0 to add to your team.
