Stop passing screenshots to coding agents

Stop prompting coding agents with screenshots!

Coding agents are awesome. You write your prompt and watch the magic happen. Many times, you can even skip the “watching” part and just do something else while the code updates.

However, there is still some friction on how you prompt the agent, especially when talking about UI/UX bugs.

I see people taking screenshots, drawing on them, then uploading those to the AI and writing a prompt to complement it. It gets harder when you need to explain the user’s behavior that led to an error. You have to take multiple screenshots, write down what the user did, what happened, happened, what was expected, etc.

And after all that, often the agent still doesn’t understand the issue. It’s just frustrating.

The good news is, it doesn’t have to be like that! For years, we have had a way to explain and show bugs easily to our colleagues: screen recordings.

It’s so easy to just record your screen, explain what’s wrong, and send it to a colleague. Why for AI it’s not the same?

At Nitpicks, we are tackling that friction. Without leaving your product page, click a button, record your screen showing a bug, and see the fix flow to your GitHub repository automatically on a pull request.

Not just that, when you have the pull request, any comment you add is also automatically addressed, so you never need to open a code editor.

We would love to hear your feedback!
