About This Feature
Story Capture is a GenAI-powered capture mode in the Walnut Extension, designed to jumpstart your guided demo creation process. With integrated voice capture, Story Capture enables creators to record real-time narration while capturing HTML content.
Using advanced GenAI, Story Capture transcribes your narration and intelligently pairs it with captured screen content and screen interactions—automatically generating a polished, step-by-step guided demo within minutes.

Pro Tip 👑
No need to make it perfect! Story Capture won't use your narration word-for-word, so it’s okay to pause or reword as you go.
FAQs
Can I generate AI guide steps without using Story Capture mode?
Yes! You can generate AI-based guide steps for any screen(s) captured using the Walnut Extension (all capture modes). When using Story Capture mode, spoken narration is transcribed and incorporated into the generated guide content—adding additional context and clarity. If you capture screens without spoken narration, Walnut’s GenAI will generate guide steps using on-screen context and content alone.
