Build computer-use agents from how your team works
The steps of most screen work are written down nowhere. VideoDB records the work as people do it and describes every step with the frames behind it, so you can build agents from it and check every run they make.
Nobody wrote the steps down
“How does the team
process an invoice?”
VideoDB records a few people doing it and writes down each step. An agent runs them, and every run is on record
Record the work, step by step
The VideoDB Capture Agent records Windows and Mac desktops, or an agent’s own virtual desktop. Each step becomes a description, a timestamp and the frames behind it.
Read how agents watch a screen- Start
- By the person at the desk, or on a schedule
- Any model
- Your VLM or ours names the app, the field, the click and the error, as text or JSON
- Local first
- An encrypted buffer on the machine, then an upload over HTTPS to your account or your cloud
- Afterwards
- Once processed, a recording can move to cold storage or be deleted

From recordings to a first agent
The recordings give the agent its demonstrations, and give you the evidence to check it.
- Week 1Scope and record
Pick the task, agree what success looks like, and record a few people doing it.
- Weeks 2 and 3Build and check
We write the steps from the recordings, then build the agent and check its runs against them.
- After launchEvery run on record
The agent records itself as it works, so any output traces back to the moment on screen behind it.
A Big Four accounting firm sets up its capability centers with agents
Recordings of how experts do the work become SOPs, then computer-use agents. Every run the agents make is on record.

Start from open code
Each repo runs on VideoDB and is free to fork.
| Repository | What it does |
|---|---|
| open-record-replay | Compiles a recorded workflow into a reusable agent skill. |
| openclaw-monitoring | Records every agent run, so any output traces back to the moment on screen that produced it. |
| videodb-capture-quickstart | Captures screen, microphone and system audio into VideoDB. |
| pair-programmer | Live screen context for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. |
| Bloom | An agentic screen recorder. Recordings become inputs for AI. |
VideoDB is video infrastructure for agents and devices that see. 1,000+ developers and agents use it every week, and it has processed 300+ TB of video.
