FAQ

What does Iris do, in one sentence?

It records your screen and turns the recording into structured context (summary, timeline, transcript, actions, frames) that AI agents can read.

Is the video uploaded?

Yes. The video is sent to your Iris server (hosted or self-hosted), stored on disk or S3, and streamed back when you (or the worker) request it. The processing pipeline ships individual frames to Anthropic and the audio track to Deepgram.

Do you train AI on my recordings?

No. Recording content is sent to Anthropic and Deepgram only to extract context for you, and is not used to train any model. See the Privacy Policy for the full list of subprocessors.

What’s the difference between Free and Pro?

Free is slot-based: 5 active recordings, 2-minute max length, 100 frames analysed per recording, and a 10-upload rolling 24-hour cap. Delete a recording to free a slot for a new one. Pro switches to a monthly minutes model: 30 hours/month, 4-hour max length, 600 frames, no slot limit. Team is 200 hours/month with 8-hour max length. See Pricing for the full table.

What happens when I hit my plan’s limit?

On Free: delete a recording to free a slot, or wait for the daily 24-hour rate limit to roll off, or upgrade. On Pro/Team: new uploads are paused until the start of the next billing cycle, or until you upgrade. Existing recordings stay accessible regardless.

Can I record longer than my plan’s max length?

The web recorder auto-stops at the cap with a 10-second visible countdown, so you can’t exceed it accidentally. If you upload a longer recording from the CLI or extension, the worker rejects it after ffprobe reads the duration. The recording is marked failed and doesn’t consume a slot — just re-record shorter or upgrade.

What about privacy on shared recordings?

Sharing is opt-in per recording. A 128-bit random share id is generated the first time you toggle public sharing on. Disabling sharing invalidates the link immediately.

Can I delete my account?

Yes — Settings → Danger zone. We delete your user record, every recording you uploaded, and any workspace you solely own. Workspaces with co-owners are retained; you just leave them.

Is the source open?

Yes. The repo is at github.com/Tundra-Industries/iris. Open issues, send PRs, run it on your own infrastructure.
