Recordings & Grounding

Sometimes showing is easier than explaining. Recordings let you ground the agent by performing a task manually once so the AI can mimic the exact DOM interactions. Record a workflow in the Chrome Extension, then deploy it anywhere — cloud batches, API calls, shortcuts, schedules, or triggers.

What Gets Recorded

The recorder captures DOM interactions — clicks, typing, navigation, selections — not your screen. This makes it more robust than screen recording (no pixel-matching failures), more private (we never see your screen), and portable across different screen sizes and resolutions.

How to Record

• Click the Record button in the side panel toolbar (or search to name your recording)
• Perform the task naturally in your browser — click buttons, fill forms, navigate pages
• Optionally narrate what you're doing (add text annotations the agent can reference)
• Click Stop when complete
• Select the recording in chat to give the AI the perfect example

Dramatic Success Boost

Providing a recording demonstration dramatically increases task completion rates. For complex multi-step forms and interactions that are hard to describe in words, a recording often outperforms even the most detailed prompt. Record once, use forever.

Cross-Platform Reuse

Recordings are a shared primitive — they're created in the extension but reusable across every rtrvr.ai surface. When you use a recording in a workflow, that recording is automatically bundled with the workflow artifact.

Management & Sharing

Recordings sync across your devices when logged in. You can rename, organize, share them via URL with teammates, or import recordings from others.

• View all recordings from the Recordings section in the side panel
• Rename recordings with descriptive names for easy discovery
• Share via URL — recipients can import with one click
• Recordings bundle with workflows when shared, so teammates get the full context
