# Record a walkthrough of a competitor's website for a teardown

> Ask Tella's Auto Capture to film the competitor's public page. You can ask from the Tella Agent in the editor, or from Claude or ChatGPT connected to Tella. Give the full URL, what to show and where to stop, such as "compare the three plans and end on the yearly toggle, don't click sign-up buttons." An AI agent opens the page in its own browser on Tella's servers and films it with an animated cursor. You get a take with a handoff note, chapters and suggested cuts.

## How do I record a walkthrough of a competitor's website for a teardown or sales enablement?

Ask Tella's [Auto Capture](https://www.tella.com/auto-capture) to film the competitor's public page. You can ask from the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) in the editor, or from [Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/tella) or [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a7026f78434819186579d93d20ab38b?open_in_app) connected to Tella. Give the full URL, what to show and where to stop, such as "compare the three plans and end on the yearly toggle, don't click sign-up buttons." An AI agent opens the page in its own browser on Tella's servers and films it with an animated cursor. You get a take with a handoff note, chapters and suggested cuts.

## How to do it in Tella

1. Open a video in the editor and open the Tella Agent, or connect Claude or ChatGPT to Tella.
2. Ask for a take with the competitor's full public URL, what to show and what to skip.
3. Keep working while the take runs, then read the handoff note.
4. Apply the suggested cuts, add zooms or a voiceover, and share it with your team.

## Good to know

- Beta, on paid plans. Each take uses your workspace's credits, the same balance the Tella Agent spends.
- Auto Capture runs on Tella's servers and films public http and https pages the way a new visitor sees them. It can't record localhost, IP addresses or intranet pages.
- Some sites show a "verify you're human" page to automated browsers or cloud traffic, and Auto Capture can't get past it. The firewall header in Tella's settings only helps on your own site.

## Questions people ask

### Can I record a competitor walkthrough from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI app to Tella's [MCP server](https://www.tella.com/mcp) and ask, for example, "Use Tella to record a walkthrough of https://quillstack.example/pricing." When the take is delivered, ask it to put the take in a new Tella video. Until then, the take doesn't show in your library.

### Why did my competitor website take fail?

Usually the site showed a bot check to Tella's capture browser. A take that stopped on a page like that can't be revised, so ask for a new take, perhaps of another public page on the site. Also check the URL opens in a private browser window.

### Can I film several competitors in one video?

Yes, one take at a time. One Auto Capture take films one page or flow, so ask for one take per competitor page. Then have the Tella Agent or your AI app add them to the same video in order. Each take comes with chapters you can use to title each section.
