Automate with AI

Film a demo with AI

From one prompt to a finished take

The agent prepares your app, then submits the whole performance to ShotGlass. Supported controls are activated inside the app while ShotGlass records a smooth cursor and click effects. For tasks that need the physical mouse or keyboard, the agent tells you before taking control.

The recording preview shows the agent at work. If it needs your help, expand the preview, complete the step, and click Hand back to AI. After the take, ShotGlass restores your windows and removes its virtual display.

One sentence: film a website demo

The agent handles setup, recording, framing, and export. Keep your prompt focused on what the viewer should see.

The website brief's actual output, unedited: one recording_run_take call, auto-zoomed from the recorded clicks.

Website demo

Swap in your own URL.

Film a 30-second demo of browsing my website howtoconvert.co and export it for social.

One sentence: teach something in Google Sheets

Every character is typed as a real key event, so the formula arrives on screen the way a viewer can follow. Use a browser that is signed in to Google.

The Sheets brief's actual output: every character typed as a real key event.

Google Sheets demo

Swap in whatever you want to teach.

Film a short Google Sheets demo: type a small budget and total it with =SUM.

One sentence: demo your own app

The one to reuse for release posts. The agent stages your app at its default size, derives every coordinate from what is actually on screen, and walks one real task end to end.

The own-app brief's actual output: file dialog, format picker, and conversion, all real input.

Own-app demo

Name your app and the task.

Film a demo of my app How to Convert converting a PNG to JPG.
