One of 653 tools in AI Agents
Who it's for
- Mac users who need to explain a screen-specific change request to an AI agent.
- People who want to give an AI agent spoken instructions alongside screenshots from their screen.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams or people who need a Windows app: the page describes CAKIE as a Mac app.
How it fits your workflow
On a Mac, record your screen while describing what you want the AI to understand. Point or draw to highlight details, or let AI find screenshots that match your narration.
Review the video, highlights, and transcript. Copy the prompt and paste it into your AI agent; attach screenshots separately if the AI app cannot access local files.
