Rill

Rill is a browser-recording and AI-assisted browser-checking tool for developers, QA teams and people reviewing changes made by coding agents. It brings the recorded steps together with captured browser details so someone else can inspect what happened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Record a signed-in Chrome tab or local development apps without recreating the session in a separate browser.

• Review video with captured console messages, network request details and timeline events where the recording method supports them.

• Keep using your coding agent, or give Rill a public URL and a task to run in its hosted browser.

• A Free plan includes recording, sharing and a monthly allowance of hosted browser tasks.

Limitations

• A recording documents one run; it does not establish complete test coverage or prove the whole application works.

• Screen recordings do not automatically include console or network diagnostics. Chrome captures request metadata, not request headers or bodies.

• Hosted tasks need a publicly reachable site. Use Chrome recording or a compatible local agent for private apps and local development apps.

• Videos are not automatically masked for sensitive information. Review recordings and diagnostics before sharing. Share links expire after seven days on both plans.

AI Features

Describe a browser task in plain language and Rill can execute it in a hosted browser, recording the steps for review. Through the ChatGPT plugin or a compatible MCP client, an assistant can find recordings, inspect captured evidence and prepare a bug-report draft with relevant timestamps. In the local coding-agent workflow, your agent controls the browser and Rill records its work. Available evidence depends on what was captured and the client’s capabilities.

Test Types Supported

Manual bug reproduction and exploratory browser sessions; prompt-driven web-flow and smoke checks; and recorded verification of frontend changes by a compatible coding agent. Rill supplies replayable evidence for review. It is not presented as a native mobile testing suite, API test runner or automated visual-diff service.

Learning Curve

For manual capture, install Rill for Chrome, sign in, choose the tab and record the steps. Hosted checks start with a public URL and a task description. Recording a coding agent requires additional CLI and browser setup described in the documentation.

Compatibility

The extension runs in desktop Google Chrome and can record signed-in websites and local development apps. Browser-based screen capture can record a tab, window or screen, subject to browser support. The local coding-agent workflow requires Node.js 22 or newer, Chrome or Chromium, and agent browser tools that can connect to the browser Rill provides.

Integrations

Rill offers a ChatGPT plugin and a remote MCP server for compatible clients. Coding-agent recording works with tools such as Codex, Claude Code and Cursor when their environment meets the browser-connection requirements. Recording links can be included in bug reports and pull requests. MCP-generated bug reports are reviewable drafts, rather than automatically published tracker issues.

Pricing

Free: $0, no card required. Includes 10 recordings per day, 200 minutes of stored video, up to 3 simultaneous recordings and 10 hosted browser tasks per month. Playback supports up to 3× speed.

Pro: $9.99/month. New subscribers currently pay $2 for the first month, then $9.99/month until cancelled. Includes unlimited daily recordings, up to 10 simultaneous recordings, 30 hosted browser tasks per month, more recording storage and up to 4× playback on your own recordings.

Chrome, screen and local-agent recording do not consume hosted-task credits. Monthly credits refill on the first of each month, UTC, and do not roll over. Each hosted task consumes a credit once started, even if the task fails. Both plans use seven-day share links. Check current pricing and limits before choosing a plan.
