Conversational Screen Share
A novel AI interaction modality pioneered by Quarterzip: a real-time AI voice agent that consumes the user's screen share as its primary visual input, enabling it to provide contextual, goal-oriented onboarding guidance based on what the user actually sees — not what they describe in text.
