Let Scout Browse or Record
Ask Vibe to inspect a website or film a demo in a Chrome tab you approve.
Before you start: Klipeo open in Chrome with the extension installed. In the Mac app, Scout continues the task in Chrome; see Continue a Mac browser task in Chrome.
Ask Scout for footage
In Vibe's chat, name the site and the steps, for example "record our product page, open Pricing, and switch to yearly."
Approve the run. If Chrome has not allowed the task's sites yet, a small Klipeo window names them; choose Allow, then confirm in Chrome's box.
Pick a new tab or one already open on an allowed site. Using an open tab gives Scout that tab's signed-in session.
Watch the strip above the chat box for the current step. Press Take over to drive yourself, Hand back to let Scout continue, or Stop.
The finished take uploads, joins Recordings, and lands on a Browser demo track with cursor data, so zooms and idle cuts follow Scout's pointer. Asking Scout to inspect a site instead returns notes and source links, and records nothing.

Sensitive actions
Before Scout buys or pays, sends or posts, deletes something, or changes an account setting, it stops and asks in the tab's bar: Allow once, Always here (that kind of action on that site, from now on), or I'll do it. A recording would film that bar, so during a recorded demo Scout hands you the tab for the step instead, unless you already chose Always here for it. Review or forget those answers in the extension's popup, under Scout can do without asking.
Scout never types passwords. When a page needs a sign-in, a 2FA code, or a challenge, it hands you the tab: sign in yourself, then choose Hand back. Scout sees screenshots and page text, which can include visible account details, so approve only pages you are comfortable sharing.
The sections below describe each kind of task in full.
Let Vibe inspect a website
Give Vibe the site's URL and what you need to learn, for example "look at our pricing page and find the product images for a launch video." After you approve the task, Scout asks once for the task's sites if Chrome has not allowed them yet (see Install the Chrome extension). Then choose a new tab or an eligible existing tab; only tabs on sites you allowed are listed. Using an existing tab gives Vibe control of that tab, including its signed-in session. Vibe can follow links, fill ordinary fields, choose options, scroll, and return what it observed with source links. Research can use up to six task tabs on approved sites; recording stays in one tab. A new research tab opens in the background, so you can keep using your current tab. When Vibe needs you, or you choose Take over, the tab comes to the front and its group opens. No video is recorded and nothing is added to your timeline.
Review visited pages and their image or video candidates in the browser session panel. Choose Import for an item you want in your assets. Use media you own or have permission to reuse. A site may require sign-in, block automation, or place the needed content in a control the agent cannot operate. Vibe reports incomplete runs so you can provide the missing material or narrow the task.
Vibe records a demo for you
Ask Vibe for footage of a live site, for example "record our product page, open Pricing, and switch to yearly":
- Approve the run with its website, goal, and step budget.
- Choose the tab to control. The extension records its viewport, without a share picker. Chrome shows its debugging notice while the agent works.
- The agent clicks, types, and scrolls through the goal. Use Finish on the recording controls to stop early.
- The take uploads, joins Recordings, and lands on a Browser demo track with cursor data. Vibe turns on the cursor overlay so zooms and dead-wait cuts can follow the driven pointer.
These demos record the page without microphone, camera, or system sound. If an upload or delivery fails after capture, the extension retains the local take instead of deleting it. Uncollected takes are eligible for cleanup after 24 hours, so they are not a permanent backup.
Both inspection and recording default to 25 steps and three minutes. The maximum is 40 steps and five minutes. Runs are limited to the approved sites and stop if navigation leaves them. Keep the Klipeo tab open until the task finishes. Before Vibe buys or pays, sends or posts, deletes something, or changes an account setting, it stops and asks in the tab's bar: Allow once, Always here (that kind of action on that site, from now on), or I'll do it. In a recorded demo the bar would be filmed, so Vibe hands you the tab for that step instead.
If a run needs sign-in, use an already signed-in tab. When a page asks for an account, a 2FA code, or a challenge, Vibe hands the tab to you: sign in yourself, then choose Hand back. Vibe never types passwords, and never ask it for them in chat. While the agent works, a small strip above the chat box shows Scout and the current step. Click the step to see the latest view of the tab. The controlled tab has a thin blue edge and its own bar. Take over gives you control; Hand back asks Vibe to inspect the page again before continuing. Up to two minutes you spend in the tab, for a sign-in or 2FA code, do not count against the task's time limit. Stop ends the task. The agent does receive screenshots and page content, which can include visible account information. Approve only pages you are comfortable sharing with the agent.
Continue a Mac browser task in Chrome
When a browser task starts from Vibe in the Mac app's embedded web view, Klipeo opens a continuation page in Google Chrome. Sign in to Klipeo there using the same account, connect the extension, then choose Start in Chrome. Keep that tab open; the result returns to the waiting Vibe conversation. Site sign-in details are collected in Chrome and are not carried in the handoff link.
The full native Mac editor needs the web editor for these browser tasks. Browser automation does not control native Mac applications. You can still use the Mac app's native recorder and give Vibe the resulting footage.
Let Vibe control Klipeo on your Mac
In the Mac app, ask Vibe to use Klipeo's window, describe what to do, and approve the request. This approval always waits for you, even when Vibe answers its other approvals by itself. The first time, Klipeo asks you to turn it on under Screen Recording and Accessibility in System Settings. Vibe can inspect and operate Klipeo's own windows, including its editor; it does not control other Mac applications.
A small panel at the top of the screen shows what Scout is doing. Local input pauses the agent. Use Hand back to continue from a fresh view, or Stop to end the task. A separate control window keeps approvals and results available if a recording opens the web editor. A take is reported as imported only after the editor saves it with the project. Saved recordings remain in Downloads/Klipeo Recordings if import cannot be confirmed.
Ask Vibe to record on your phone
In a mobile development build that includes the recorder, ask Vibe to start a phone recording. Approve the request and the phone's recording prompt. iOS records Klipeo; Android records the app or display you select in its system dialog. You operate the phone while it records. You can always use the visible Stop recording or Discard recording controls.
Ask Vibe to finish recording to upload the saved take and place it on the timeline. It can then edit the video with its usual editing tools. Recordings last at most five minutes. Failed uploads retain the take for a later finish request. This requires an updated native app build; an older app offers file upload instead. Phone recording does not provide automatic taps in other apps.
