Screenpipe: record your work, get agents that imitate it

What's this about?

A YC S26 launch: continuous local screen and audio recording becomes a searchable memory of how you work — and training material for agents that reproduce your workflows.

What exactly is the pitch?

Today's agents learn your workflows from instructions you write. Screenpipe flips it: it watches you do the task N times and distills the procedure — imitation learning from screen recordings, stored locally.

What's the community saying?

1. Privacy dominates: "local-first" helps, but an always-on recorder is one subpoena or sync-feature away from being a liability.
2. Employers-watching-you dread: the same tech is indistinguishable from bossware.
3. Fans see the missing piece for personal agents: nobody writes down their real workflows; showing beats telling.
