AI Builder Stories
Behind every AI tool is a person deciding which problem is worth spending time on. Shubh built Clipy after noticing that a screen recording could explain a problem quickly to a teammate, yet the AI tools helping with the work could not use that same context.
What Shubh built
Clipy is an AI-native screen recorder. A person can record their screen and speak through the issue, then share one link. Teammates can watch it without signing up, while AI agents can receive a transcript, summary, and key moments from the same recording.
Why he built it
Shubh found himself explaining the same thing twice: once in a recording for a teammate, then again in a long prompt for an AI agent. Showing was faster than typing, but AI tools could not watch the video. Clipy is his answer: a recorder whose recordings people and agents can both understand.
One lesson for builders
“Build for how people already work, not for a new habit.”
People already record their screens. For Shubh, the useful move was making that familiar act valuable to an agent as well, instead of asking people to adopt a separate workflow for AI. Making one recording useful to an agent mattered more than a brand-new feature.
