Eyeball is a GitHub Copilot CLI plugin with a deceptively simple idea: instead of trusting the AI to accurately summarize documents, it captures screenshots of the actual source material and embeds them alongside the AI's claims in the output report. If the model says "Section 10 requires mutual indemnification," the report shows that exact section highlighted in yellow directly below the claim. The underlying insight is sharp — screenshots cannot be hallucinated. Text can be subtly reworded, paraphrased incorrectly, or synthesized from nowhere. But a screenshot is a literal capture of the source. Built for legal review, compliance analysis, financial due diligence, and any domain where the stakes of an AI error are high. Built by indie developer dvelton, it handles PDFs, Word documents, and web pages. MIT licensed, free to use. Surfaced on Hacker News Show HN today, where it sparked an active discussion about AI verification and the underrated value of visual evidence in AI-assisted analysis workflows.

Reviewer scorecard
“This is one of those ideas that makes you think 'why isn't every AI analysis tool doing this?' The implementation is simple — capture screenshots of the source during analysis — but the trust it builds in the output is enormous. I'd use this immediately for any contract or regulatory review workflow.”
“The AI command generation is useful for complex one-liners I'd normally Google. The modern UI is controversial but the speed is undeniable — fastest terminal I've used.”
“Screenshots prove the source exists but don't verify the AI's interpretation of it is correct. A model can still misread highlighted text or draw wrong conclusions. Also, PDF-to-screenshot pipelines get messy with scanned documents, multi-column layouts, and complex tables — exactly the docs where hallucinations are most likely.”
“A fancy terminal is still a terminal. The AI features save a few Google searches but $18/mo for a terminal feels steep when iTerm2 is free.”
“Eyeball points toward a future of verifiable AI outputs — not just 'the model said this' but 'the model said this, here's the evidence, here's the reasoning chain.' Legal AI adoption hinges on explainability, and embedded source screenshots are a practical step toward outputs that hold up under professional scrutiny.”
“The terminal hasn't changed in 40 years. Warp is betting that AI makes the command line accessible to a new generation. Bold and necessary.”
“For research, journalism, and content work where you're citing sources, this is a game-changer. The ability to produce a report where every claim is visually anchored to the source makes the output publishable rather than just useful. The design of the output document matters — would love to see more control over the visual layout.”
