Your agent can use Shoyu

It searches your team’s recordings, records its own work in your Shoyu app, and hands you the link.

Ready to record,
at your command

Coding agents change things while you are not watching. Ask your agent to record a walkthrough of what it changed. When it is done, it gives you the link, with a title, a summary, and markers at the important moments.

  • You approve it once

    Automation is a setting in Shoyu, and you turn it on in Settings. The agent checks that it is on, and stops if it is not.

  • You set the guardrails

    You choose the organization, the context layers, the sensors, and how long it may record. The agent can narrow that for a recording.

  • You get the same recording you would have made

    Same playback page, same context strip, same Moment search. The agent’s handoff sits alongside, clearly marked as the agent’s.

People and agents, working from one history

Agents do more of the work. People set the limits and judge the result. Each pass leaves a recording that the whole team can search.

  1. A person on the team

    You set the limits

    A person turns on Automation and chooses what an agent may capture. An agent can narrow that for a recording.

  2. An agent

    Your agent reads the history

    It searches past recordings for the decisions, files, and errors its task touches, and reads what it finds.

  3. An agent

    Your agent records the work

    It records a walkthrough of what it changed and attaches a handoff: a title, a summary, and markers.

  4. A person on the team

    You review and reply

    You watch the steps that count, comment on the second you question, and mention the person who owns that code.

  • Reviews start with a walkthrough

    Watch what the agent did before you read the diff. Its markers jump to each step.

  • Every run leaves a record

    An agent’s recording stays in your organization like anyone else’s, with its handoff beside it.

  • Agents and people learn the same way

    A new teammate and a new agent search the same recordings to see how something works and why.

  • People decide what agents see

    Owners choose which context is allowed. A person turns on Automation. Search applies the same permissions to everyone.

Your agent starts with what your team knows

Before it changes anything, your agent can search your team’s recordings. It reads the transcript, the chapters, and the context, and keeps a link to each moment.

  • Finds what you can watch

    It signs in as you, so it only finds recordings you are allowed to watch.

  • Reads and never edits

    Shoyu’s MCP server has two tools, video_search and get_video_info. Both only read.

  • Shows you where it looked

    Each answer comes with a link that plays from that second, so you can check what it read.

In “Why the migration stalled on staging”, Sam says the retry drops the idempotency key, at 2:20. I will keep the key on retry, then run the checkout tests.

The choice is yours

Give your agent the tools to record its work and share the result. Shoyu includes ready-to-use skills and an MCP server. Any other MCP client can connect to the same server with its URL.

    Enable Agent recording

    Enable Automation in Shoyu and choose what your agent may capture.

  3. 03

    Ask your agent

    Record a walkthrough, find a moment, or understand what changed.

    “Record it working so I can see how it feels.”

Check your agent’s work by watching it

An agent can attach an Agent handoff that sums up its work. Replay the steps in the recording to check that the work holds up.

  1. 01

    Ask your agent to record

    Tell your agent what to build, and to record it working. It checks that Automation is on, then records the walkthrough.

  2. 02

    Review the work

    Open the link it hands back. It is the same recording you would have made, with the agent’s handoff beside it.

  3. 03

    Compare the handoff

    Check each thing the agent says it did against the moments in the recording. Look twice at any claim that no moment backs before you merge.

Agents can Shoyu their work

Turn on Automation once. Your agents read what the team has recorded, record their own work, and leave more for the next one to find.
