Jenny ยท Screen Copilot

I can draw on your screen.

An assistant that doesn't just talk back โ€” it points. Ask about what you're looking at, and I answer in your ear and mark up the screen.

Plain English

What it is

You ask me about what you're looking at. I answer out loud and mark up the screen โ€” arrows, circles, boxes, labels โ€” so you can see exactly what I mean. The marks stay up until you say clear. No clicking, no typing coordinates, no "third from the top on the left." You point with your voice; I point with ink.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

You ask by voice

"What does this button do?" ยท "Should this go here or there?" ยท "Where do I click to publish?"

๐ŸŽฏ

I find the exact spot

On a web page I read the real element positions. On anything else, I lay down a ruler and read the coordinates.

โœ๏ธ

I answer & draw

You hear the answer and see the marks together โ€” an arrow to the button, a circle round the choice, a labelled callout.

Two ways it works

The two modes

Mode 1 ยท works everywhere

Annotated image, sent back

Works even when the desktop is nowhere near you โ€” on your phone, in the car, away from the machine. I mark up a picture of what you're viewing and send it straight back on the same channel, with the audio.

  • Perfect for hands-free and driving
  • No screen-share, no app to open
  • The marked-up image + my voice arrive together
Mode 2 ยท the wow version

Live on-screen overlay

When you're sitting at the machine, I draw straight onto the real screen โ€” arrows and circles appearing live over whatever you've got open, right where you're looking.

  • Marks land on the actual desktop
  • Great for walk-throughs and "show me where"
  • Stays up until you say clear
The clever bit

How I find the exact spot

A calibrated numbered grid laid over the Felix blog โ€” red 100px lines, bold yellow 500px lines, cyan coordinate labels along the top and left edges.
My ruler: a calibrated grid โ€” thin red every 100px, bold yellow every 500px, cyan coordinates every 200px. It's only how I measure โ€” the finished marks go on a clean overlay.

On a web page I read the element positions directly from the page itself โ€” pixel-accurate, no guessing. On anything else (an app, a PDF, a photo), I lay a calibrated numbered grid over a snapshot, read the intersection where your thing sits, then draw on a clean overlay. The grid is only my ruler โ€” you never see it in the answer.

  • Two-pass precision โ€” a coarse read to get close, then a fine read to lock in sub-pixel placement.
  • Built on real code โ€” the same calibrated capture our Foundry build tools already use (fft-capture-labeled.ps1): 100px minor, 500px major, physical-pixel accurate.
  • Clean result โ€” measure with the ruler, then draw without it, so the mark-up reads clearly on any background.

Demonstrations

An orange arrow and circle drawn around the 'Explore Felix's World' button, with a magenta callout reading 'Click here to see the stories.'
Pointing & circling. "Where do I click?" โ€” an arrow curves to the button, a circle rings it, a label spells it out.
A dashed orange box around a page section with a magenta arrow pointing up and a callout reading 'Try moving this block up here.'
Layout suggestions. "Should I move this?" โ€” a dashed box round the block, an arrow to where it could go, and the reason in your ear.
The everyday use

The hands-free phone workflow

You're away from the desk, looking at the site on your phone. Here's exactly what happens:

1 You're looking

Driving, on your phone, the site open in front of you.

2 You just talk

"Should I move this block here or here?" โ€” spoken, hands-free.

3 It rides into the thread

Your message and a snapshot of your view come to me together.

4 I locate & answer

I find the spot (grid or web coordinates), answer in audio, and draw the arrows on the image.

5 It comes back to you

On the same channel โ€” you hear me and see my marks, no app-switching.

Honest about the edges: today it's snapshot-based โ€” if you scroll, just say so and I re-grab the view. True real-time talk-and-draw-at-once is the next rung on the ladder. What works now is the loop above: ask, get a marked-up picture and a voice answer back, on the channel you're already on.

Try it

Just point with your voice.

Next time you're staring at a page wondering where to click or what to change โ€” don't describe it to me. Ask me about it and let me mark it up.

"Jenny, where do I click to publish?" "Circle the button I need." "Should I move this block up or down?"

Say clear when you're done and the marks come off.

๐Ÿงญ In the Foundry: the little icon in the editing window opens this same page โ€” a quick reminder that I'm right here, ready to point.
