# Autoreel

> Autoreel is a CLI that drives your web app, learns what it does, writes the script, casts a voice, and renders a narrated demo video.

If you are an AI agent with shell access, you can use Autoreel directly. Install: `npx autoreel init` — installs the CLI and logs this machine in. It also installs a bundled skill for Claude Code; any other agent with a shell gets the same CLI surface.

## How it works

- `autoreel make` runs the whole pipeline: scan the app, cast a presenter, write the script, render the video.
- Four approval gates, in order: `scan_review`, `cast_review`, `script_review`, `render`. Nothing renders until each is explicitly approved.
- A CLI command exiting with code 10 means it stopped at a checkpoint, not that it failed.
- `--wait` blocks until a stage lands instead of making you poll for status.

## Pricing

- 100 credits = $1.
- Renders bill per second: 25 credits/s voice-only, 60 credits/s with an on-camera presenter.
- Scanning and drafting the script are free.
- Credits are bought in $10-step top-ups. They don't expire. No subscription.

## Cast

- Five stock voices: Ashley, Olivia, Dennis, Alex, Ethan.
- Or a custom photo-avatar presenter via `autoreel cast generate`, built from a real photo or a generated one.

## Constraints

- Mapping reads the accessibility tree, never pixels or screenshots — no screen content reaches a model vendor.
- Login is email + password, used once on the login form. A 2FA/OTP challenge pauses the scan: `autoreel scan otp <id> --code 123456`.
- Server-side capture needs a URL it can reach (a staging deploy or a tunnel); an agent already running on a machine with a localhost app can drive it directly instead.
- No timeline editor. You edit the script text and re-render — re-rendering spends credits again.
