Refreshing the queue page
Every few minutes, on the off chance. The card shows the shot and the ETA without opening anything.
For creators · AI video, renders & exports
Queue the render.
Get your evening back.
AI video generations, 3D renders, upscales and exports take minutes to hours, and most of that is waiting. Have your agent run the batch and keep a live card on your iPhone: which shot it's on, how many are done, and when it should finish. It can ask you Yes or No before it spends more credits on a re-roll.
Free for one agent and one live card · Works with Claude Code, Codex and Grok
Why
Most of making video is waiting for it.
Generation queues, render farms and exports don't need you watching. They need you to know when they're done, or when they broke.
Coming back to a failed render
An hour later, at frame 40. The agent can flag the card the moment a job errors out.
Burning credits blind
Re-rolls add up. The agent can ask “re-roll shot 7?” and wait for your Yes.
How it works
Hand the batch to your agent.
1
Connect your agent
Add Startr to Claude Code, Codex or Grok once, and approve it on your iPhone.
2
Run the batch through it
The agent drives your pipeline: a generation API, ComfyUI, Blender, ffmpeg or your editor's command-line export.
3
Glance, approve, done
The card shows each shot as it lands, asks before costly re-rolls, and ends with the finished file.
One project, four glances
From prompt list to final cut.

AI video batch
Generate these shots with [your video API or ComfyUI workflow]: [shot list]. Keep a Startr card with shots done out of total and an ETA. Before re-rolling any shot, ask me Yes or No on Startr. End the card when everything is downloaded.
3D render
Render scene.blend frames 1–480 from the command line. Keep a Startr card updated with frames done and an ETA, mark it alert if the render errors, and end it with the output path.
Export & upload
Export the timeline with ffmpeg, then upload it. Use a Startr journey card with the waypoints Export and Upload and the destination Published.
Good to know
What it does, and what it doesn't.
If your agent can run it, it can report it.
Generation APIs, ComfyUI, Blender, ffmpeg, command-line exports. The card shows what the agent sees.
Ask before you spend.
A Yes/No card before a re-roll or a bigger upscale keeps you in control of cost without watching the screen.
Your footage stays yours.
Startr only receives the short card text. It never sees your prompts, frames or files.
Quiet means quiet.
If the agent stops updating, the card goes stale after two hours instead of pretending the render is still going.
Your agent has to be able to see the job.
Startr shows what your agent reports, so the agent needs a way to check progress: an API, a command-line tool, or a log file. A tool you only use in a browser tab, with no API, can't report to the card. Keep the agent session running while the batch runs; each card lasts up to eight hours.
Questions
Before your next render
Does it work with Runway, Sora, Veo or Kling?
If your agent can reach the service through an API or a connector, yes. Browser-only tools without an API can't report progress.
Can it watch a render I already started?
Yes, if the agent can read its log or status command. Point it at the log.
Can it approve spending for me?
No. A Yes/No answer is a nudge to your agent, not a payment approval. Purchases always need confirmation in the service itself.
Android?
Not today. Startr is an iPhone app.
