Start with one real job
- Check the quickstart if recording or AI chat is not working.
- Work on one authorized support session for 15–30 minutes. Note the client, ticket, start time, end time, and timezone.
- Open the timeline and verify that the remote-support window is visible in the captured history.
- Paste prompt 1 below into Screenpipe chat. Compare the report with what you actually did.
Screenpipe on your computer captures the remote session as it appears on your screen. That does not establish complete capture of the remote machine, hidden windows, every keystroke, or unattended work. Test your actual remote-support app and exclude credentials and unrelated client information using privacy controls.
What the names mean
Ten prompts to copy
Replace bracketed values before sending. Use prompts 1–8 in chat; prompt 9 creates an automation and prompt 10 reviews its usage. These are instructions for an agent to carry out and verify, not preinstalled integrations. If required data or a connection is unavailable, the result should say so.1. Reconstruct one support job
2. Create a reusable job log
3. Mark a job boundary
4. Recover work you forgot to log
5. Connect an email request to the work
6. Correct a job and approve time
7. Export a service report
8. Prepare a weekly billing worksheet
9. Build the daily job-report automation
10. Understand and reduce AI usage
Example output
This is a fictional example, not a measured session or a suggested billing rule. Client: Example Client · Job: DEMO-104 · Date: 2026-09-01 · Timezone: America/New_York Request: Restore printing from a workstation. Work: Checked the queue, restarted the print service, and sent a test page. Outcome: The test page left the queue. Physical receipt still needs confirmation.
Elapsed window: 40 minutes. Observed active time: 27 minutes. Unattended wait: 8 minutes. Unverified interval: 5 minutes. Approved billable time: not yet set. Active time and billable time remain separate fields.

Run, schedule, or stop
Open Scheduled tasks → My tasks and select the task. Check the task name before changing it.
Stopping a run does not undo files or external actions it already completed. Disabling auto-run does not pause screen recording or close a client job. See scheduled task debugging if a run remains stuck.
AI usage and warnings
Review Usage in Settings for available usage statistics and hosted AI limits. Screenpipe Cloud chat and background scheduled tasks can draw on the same account allowance. Using a connected provider or your own API key can have separate provider limits and charges; check the selected model and provider before scheduling. Versions with background allowance warnings can notify you when the service reports that scheduled Scheduled tasks are consuming most of the allowance. These notices depend on the service response and notification preferences. They are not a user-configured dollar cap or a guaranteed warning before every costly run. Start with a manual report over a short session. After it is useful, schedule one daily report rather than repeatedly analyzing the entire day. Recording evidence and asking an AI to analyze it are separate activities; running more reports creates more AI work. See AI usage and controls for missing usage information and reliable reports for verifying scheduled output.Troubleshooting the first report
