Film / Built for agents, not bolted on

Wrenfield Bakery, its twelve shops, the menu and every number are sample data, and the dashboard in the add-on lane is generic. The side-by-sides are on the Compare page.

One ask goes to the same agent three ways. Building it yourself sinks before it starts; the other two run the same job side by side, and a row of hands counts every step that comes back to you.

Narration

Transcript

The narration, as spoken. The captions carry the same lines.

  1. 0:08

    One ask. Three ways to run it.

  2. 0:12

    screenRIG is built for your agent to run, start to finish.

  3. 0:17

    Beside it, a signage dashboard with an agent add-on.

  4. 0:21

    Here, the agent sets itself up. At the screen, you just read it the code.

  5. 0:26

    There, the add-on needs you first: sign in, make a key, register the screen.

  6. 0:33

    And “published” isn't the same as playing.

  7. 0:37

    screenRIG waits until it's on the screen. Then your agent sends a screenshot from the glass.

  8. 0:45

    A month later: twelve shops, and a new ask.

  9. 0:51

    When a screen drops, the add-on's error is written for a person. It comes back to you.

  10. 0:56

    screenRIG tells the agent what failed, and what to do next.

  11. 1:01

    So when Ashgrove is back, it finishes the job and sends proof.

  12. 1:11

    And building it yourself? A screen needs more than a Player.

  13. 1:15

    Ten native Players. Pairing, caching, transcoding, updates, proof of play, app hosting, events.

  14. 1:24

    You could run your own mail server, too.

  15. 1:26

    An add-on puts your agent in front of a product built for people.

  16. 1:31

    screenRIG was built for the agent. Author, deploy, verify and recover.

  17. 1:47

    A generous free tier. Then pay for bytes, never per screen.

  18. 1:53

    Ask your agent to set up screenrig.ai.

  19. 1:56

    Give your agent a screen.
