shot-scraper video tool records agent work with YAML storyboards

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Simon Willison has introduced a new feature in shot-scraper version 1.10 called `shot-scraper video`. This tool allows users to create video demonstrations of web application routines by defining a storyboard in YAML format. The tool utilizes Playwright to execute these routines and record the process, which can then be used to showcase agent work or new application features. Willison demonstrated its capability by generating videos for Datasette's bulk insert and new table creation functionalities, with the storyboard for these demos being generated by GPT-5.5 xhigh. AI

IMPACT Enables AI agents to create video demonstrations of their work, improving transparency and usability.
