Threads, comments, Reels and local listings, read in the apps you're signed in to. Your agent searches, opens, scrolls and reports back with screenshots of what it read.

what your audience asks

Read the comments under posts in your niche on Reddit, Instagram or TikTok, group the questions and objections that keep coming up, and turn them into content ideas grounded in what people said.

  1. open_app("Instagram")
  2. tap_text("Search")
  3. screenshot()

what competitors changed

Check a list of accounts for new offers, launches and how their audience reacted, compared with last time's summary. A snapshot whenever you ask, not a monitoring service.

  1. open_app("Maps")
  2. type_text("independent cafes")
  3. find_text()

a local shortlist

Move between Maps listings and the businesses' Instagram profiles to build a shortlist that matches your brief. It reads and reports; it doesn't contact anyone.

  1. flick(295, 900, "up")
  2. find_text()
  3. type_text("We tried this and")

read the thread before replying

Open a relevant thread, read the comments and the community's rules, and draft a reply that adds something the thread doesn't have yet. It stays a draft until you post it.

Copy one into Claude, Codex or Zeptap's built-in chat, and swap the bracketed parts for your own.

when it's the right tool.

Use it when the answer is inside a logged-in app or a feed tuned to your account. If a site has a public API, or a search tool already does the job, use that: it's faster. Your agent reads screen by screen, so it suits reading dozens of posts, not crawling thousands.

questions?

The docs go deeper, and they're written for agents to read too.

Is this scraping?+

No. Your agent uses the app the way you would: it opens it, searches, scrolls and reads the screen with on-device text recognition. It sees what you'd see signed in as you, at a person's pace.

Why not use the web or an API?+

Use them when they work. Some answers only show up in the app: comment threads that load in the app, a feed tuned to your account, Maps listings next to the businesses' profiles. That's where an agent on the phone helps.

What does it come back with?+

Whatever you ask for: a summary, grouped quotes, a shortlist. Every action returns a screenshot, so your agent can show you the post it's quoting.

Where do the screenshots go?+

From your Mac to the agent you connect, and on to that agent's model provider. Nothing goes through a Zeptap server.

Which agents work with it?+

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex and Cursor connect in one click, and any MCP client can use the local server. Zeptap also has a built-in chat that runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, so you don't need another AI subscription.
