What agents can do

An approved agent works through the same Shotomatic features you use. Describe the result you want; the agent chooses the steps. Start by asking it to check Shotomatic's status so it can report missing permissions and your plan limits.

Check the setup

"Check Shotomatic and tell me whether permissions and plan limits will stop a capture."

Copy prompt in Settings > AI agents copies a similar first request:

"Check Shotomatic's status and tell me what you can do with it."

The status covers the app version, Screen Recording and Accessibility permission, your plan and the free screenshots left today, whether the website browser is installed, and captures already running.

Look at a window or screen

An agent can list your open windows and screens and take a preview of one to confirm the right page is showing. A preview is not saved to Capture History and does not use your free daily screenshots.

"Look at the book window and tell me which page it is on."

Run an Auto Capture

An agent can capture a series of screenshots of one window at an interval and, after each screenshot, press a key in that window, such as the right arrow to turn a page. It stops after a number of screenshots; on Pro it can also stop after a duration or at an end time. With a key press it stops by itself when the page stops changing. Frames go to Capture History like any Auto Capture. See Stop conditions, intervals, and keypresses.

"Open the book at page one, capture every page of this Kindle window with the right arrow, and make a PDF."

Tell the agent not to use the computer while the capture runs. On Windows, click once inside the Kindle book before you ask; Kindle ignores key presses until its reading view has been clicked. Shotomatic brings the window to the front and never presses a key while another window is in front or the screen is locked; the capture pauses instead.

Record an Action Capture

An agent can start an Action Capture so that every click in the chosen window saves a step, then turn the steps into a Document when it stops. Shotomatic does not click for the agent. You perform the clicks, or an agent with its own computer-use ability does.

"Record a guide for exporting a report from this app. I will click through it; stop when I say done, then write a title and description for each step."

Capture websites

An agent can preview one page, capture a list of URLs, reuse your saved options, and run a Workflow. It can save a Workflow with a schedule only after you confirm it. The browser must be installed, as for Website Capture.

"Capture these five pages on mobile, full page, and tell me which ones failed."

"Capture these five pages and put them into one PDF."

Read Capture History and Documents

An agent can list and open your Capture Sessions and Documents, rename a session, and look at up to six images at a time. When an agent looks at an image, that image becomes part of its conversation and is handled under that agent's own terms.

"Find yesterday's website session and tell me which pages failed."

Create and edit Documents

An agent can create a Document from Capture Session frames, image files, or a blank page, and add Pages. It can change the title, Page titles and descriptions, framing (the crop of each Page), annotations, Page order, and delete or duplicate Pages. One edit is all-or-nothing. If a Document is open in the editor when an agent changes it, the editor reloads it. Annotation types that need Pro for you need Pro for an agent, too.

"Trim the reader toolbar off every page of this Document and write a one-line description for each Page."

Export

An agent can export a Document as PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP, or ZIP, and a Capture Session as ZIP, PNG, JPG, a searchable PDF, or MP4. Files are written to your export folder under new names, existing files are never overwritten, and nothing opens on screen. The agent reports where the files are.

"Export the Document as a PDF and tell me the file path."

Change a few settings

An agent can change Auto Export (on or off, PNG or JPG), JPG quality, and the Max sessions limit of Capture History. A lower limit that removes sessions needs your confirmation. The export folder, language, presets, and license are not available to agents.

Continue with limits and safety.
