Watch on TikTok Tap to open video

Summary

“Clicky” is an open-source tool that extends Google AI Studio’s screen-sharing concept by adding a guided cursor overlay - the AI watches your screen and physically moves a cursor to show you exactly where to click and what to do. It targets learning new software workflows (cloud setup, video editing, etc.) by acting as a real-time visual guide rather than just verbal/text instructions.

Key Insight

  • Builds on Google AI Studio’s ~2-year-old screen-sharing capability where AI can watch and respond to what’s on screen
  • Key differentiator: adds a visual cursor that moves on-screen to point at exact UI elements while talking through steps - bridges the gap between “telling” and “showing”
  • Positioned as an always-available screen-sharing tutor for technical tasks (cloud setup, video editing, etc.)
  • Open-source and free - lowers barrier to entry vs. paid alternatives
  • Represents a shift from chatbot-style AI assistance to spatially-aware, GUI-interactive AI that understands screen context
  • Practical use cases: onboarding new employees to software, self-paced technical learning, reducing support tickets for SaaS products
