FAQ

Will the recording capture that floating control bar?

By default, no. The recorder bar, annotation box, task progress overlay, and similar floating widgets are excluded from recordings and AI screenshots, so the captured footage contains whatever is behind them. If you enable Streamer Mode under Settings → Advanced, these widgets become visible in recordings.

When I open the annotation box while recording, will what I type be recorded as an action?

No. Keyboard input while the annotation box is open is filtered out, including the shortcut that opened it (Alt+I on Windows, Cmd+Shift+I on macOS) and the following modifier-key releases. The annotation itself is merged into the recording at the moment it happened.

Is the green waveform on the floating bar a normal audio recording?

It is a voice annotation: Agivar turns what you say during recording into timestamped text notes that help the AI understand the video. It does not send a standalone audio clip. The microphone in the main input bar is for chat voice input and is separate.

How long does processing a recording take? Can I cancel?

It depends on the recording length, typically tens of seconds to a few minutes (it needs the network). During processing you can keep typing and add other attachments, but the Send button is temporarily disabled until it finishes. If you do not want to send this recording with the current message, click X on the attachment card; to delete it completely, remove it from Select recording file or the recording management view.

What if the recording came out badly?

After recording, use the recording preview to play it back and check; if you're not happy, remove the attachment and re-record. You can redo it anytime before sending.

When does Task Mode use what I taught in Teach Mode?

Before running a GUI task, Task Mode consults the memory base — as long as an entry might help with the current task, it reads it. So the relevant workflows, rules, and preferences you taught are reused automatically, with no need to re-explain. If an entry references a demo recording, it can also ask about details in it.

I taught it wrong / the workflow changed — how do I fix the memory?

Say so in a Teach-mode conversation ("step 3 of that entry is wrong, it should now be…"). It will find the entry, read the original text, and update it — rather than creating a duplicate. On conflict, your latest explicit statement wins. To delete a memory, just ask it to delete it.

Why did it say "I won't write this to the memory base for now"?

Because it judged that what you said is more like a one-off instruction with no long-term reuse value. That's by design — the memory base keeps only what's worth keeping. If you really want it remembered, tell it explicitly: "please remember this."

A task stopped halfway — what do I do?

Usually it hit a step that must be done by you (login, password, CAPTCHA, granting permission…). It explains the situation and switches the Send button to ▶ Continue. Handle it, then click ▶ Continue (no text needed) and it carries on. If you clicked ■ Stop yourself, the same ▶ Continue resumes it.

After switching computers, is what I taught still there?

The memory base is in the cloud, tied to your account — sign in with the same account on another computer and it's still there. A recording's raw frames stay local on the computer that recorded it; the cloud keeps the processed keyframes and text results, which is enough for Task Mode to reference.

Where is data stored? How do I wipe local data completely?

Local data is in C:\Users\<you>\.agivar\ (conversation history, raw recording data, task scripts, etc.). Uninstalling usually doesn't delete it; to wipe it completely, delete that folder manually — the memory base is in the cloud and won't be lost.

Does it support Mac / Linux?

Agivar currently targets Windows 10 (1903+) / Windows 11 and macOS. Linux is not a formally supported platform yet.
