Record your screen, point by drawing and speak, and hand it off to AI agent. Video prompts for Cursor, Claude, and Codex or any AI coding agent — local-only and free.
Free: Drop files as context for screen recording as prompt
Drag and drop files, images, folders or clipboard text and add it as context while screen recording with annotate and use it in the prompt for Cursor, Claude, Codex and any AI agent coding harness 100% free.
After Annotate launched, the goal was simple: explain a task with AI coding agents as natural as showing a colleague around your screen. The response was incredible, but I noticed a common pain point—sometimes a video alone needs extra reference material (like image assets, JSON or full project folders) to give the full picture.
That’s why I've built Annotate File Drop.
While you explaining the task you can reference by simply drag & drop files, images, entire folders, or clipboard text directly into your recording session. It attaches seamless context right alongside your video prompts for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or any AI coding harness.
Common Use Cases:
Website Assets: Instantly attach UI image assets directly to your video prompt for seamless implementation.
Wireframes & Mockups: Provide exact design references and UI/UX mockups alongside your spoken walkthrough.
Web Content & Research: Capture and attach long text selections or web pages to feed external context straight to your agent.
Data & Spreadsheets: Include local data tables, CSVs, or Excel files so your coding agent has the full data context.
Multi-Folder Projects: Connect and reference separate project directories and file trees in a single prompt
Note that the files you added is local only and never uploaded outside your computer.
Aways 100% Free - Local-first & private - "What's the catch?" Nothing, because I don't store any of your recordings data on any server and I'm not paying anything for the storage.
turning a screen recording straight into a structured prompt cuts out the part where I try to describe a UI bug in words and always leave something out. drawing the arrow while narrating is just faster than writing three sentences to say the same thing
What needs improvement
would like to see it flag when the narration and the drawn annotation don't line up in time, like if I talk about a button before I've actually drawn near it yet
vs Alternatives
compared this to just screenshotting and typing out the bug manually, or using Loom and pasting the transcript in after. both work but both lose the pointing gesture, you end up re-describing where on screen the problem is
You're the first one to review, 🎉 I appreciate you for trying the tool and for the insightful review @omri_ben_shoham1, your suggestion for improvement means a lot. Thank you.
