Capture Your Screen and Debug Errors with AI

·5 min read

You're staring at an error dialog that makes no sense. You could screenshot it, paste it into ChatGPT, wait for a response, then try the fix. Or you could just say one sentence.

Screenshot and analyze in one breath

Computer, take a screenshot and tell me what this error means and how to fix it.

That's an ENOSPC error — your system ran out of file watchers. Run this command to fix it: echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p. Want me to run it for you?

Vox captured the screen, analyzed the error using vision, and gave you a specific fix — all from a single voice command.

Works with any visual error

This isn't limited to terminal output. Vox's vision analysis works on:

  • Browser error pages and console output
  • Application crash dialogs
  • Build failure logs in your IDE
  • Database GUI errors
  • System permission dialogs you don't understand

Computer, capture my screen and explain what this database error means.

Computer, take a screenshot of this form validation error and tell me what the user needs to fix.

Tip

Combine with shell execution: “Computer, screenshot this error and run the fix” — Vox analyzes the error and executes the solution via run_local_command.

Debug sessions with context

Because Vox maintains a continuous conversation, it tracks your debugging session:

I'm getting the same error again.

The ENOSPC error from earlier? Last time we increased the watcher limit. Let me check if the setting persisted after reboot... it didn't. Let me make it permanent this time.

No re-explaining. No starting from scratch. Vox remembers every error you've encountered and every solution you've applied.
