README stills in `shots/readme/` are taken from the current build, not from `shots/` (those are older comparisons):
```sh
cargo build --bin anybot

`shots/readme/phone.png` is the current `mobile/index.html` sign-in page, captured in a 390× 844 browser. It is not the old collage in `shots/phone.png` .

The README shows a demo here. To record one:
1. Start AnyBot (desktop) and a bot with a key; run at 1440p, hide notifications.
2. Record a 20– 40 s clip of one complete task, e.g. "organise the Downloads folder"
(chat → plan → tool steps → files moved) and one computer-use task
(bot opens the browser, fills a form, stops before Send — the approval card
popping up **is** the product).
3. Export GIF: `ffmpeg -i clip.mov -vf "fps=12,scale=960:-1:flags=lanczos,split[a][b];[a]palettegen[p];[b][p]paletteuse" docs/demo/anybot.gif`
(keep it under ~8 MB; if bigger, cut to one task).
4. Name it `docs/demo/anybot.gif` . The README comment shows where to un-comment
the `<img>` line.
Preferred: one GIF (desktop, computer-use with the approval card) + one 30 s
MP4 (`demo.mp4`) of the phone app pairing a new machine.
