Clipy
Show your coding agent what to change
The story
Overview
Clipy is built for developers, QA teams, and product managers who need to communicate bugs, UI changes, or client feedback efficiently to coding agents powered by AI. Instead of lengthy written reports or static screenshots, users can record their screen with narration, capturing the sequence of actions, spoken explanations, and interaction details.
Once a recording is made, Clipy processes it into a structured format: a summary, a full transcript, key frames, and pointer or click context. This structured context is readable by AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, allowing them to understand the issue or requested change directly from the shared link. Human viewers can also watch the video, ensuring a single source of truth for both people and agents.
The tool is accessible via Mac, Chrome, and the web, requiring no viewer sign-up and offering a free trial. Clipy is particularly useful when the order of actions, changing states, or spoken feedback are critical to understanding the issue. It is designed to streamline the workflow from bug discovery to agent-driven code changes, reducing friction and improving clarity in technical communication.

FAQ
What is Clipy for?
Clipy is a screen recorder for coding agents, used to show UI bugs, explain design changes, or walk through client feedback, providing both a playable video and structured context for coding agents.
How do I use a recording with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex?
After following the agent setup guide, paste a Clipy video link into your agent session; the agent processes the recording's narration and visual context before making code changes.
What context does my coding agent receive?
Depending on the recording, agents receive a summary, timestamped narration, key frames, and pointer or interaction evidence, subject to the recording's access permissions.
When should I use a recording instead of a screenshot?
Use a recording when the sequence of actions, changing states, or spoken feedback are important; screenshots are sufficient for single visible layout issues.
Is Clipy free to try?
Yes, Clipy offers a seven-day free trial with up to 15 recordings or 2 recorded hours; after the trial, a Pro plan is required for further recording.
