What Is Inside Dubb Agent and Dubb Studio?

Dubb has two sides and they do different jobs. Dubb Agent is the AI side where you chat, connect tools and hand off tasks. Dubb Studio is the recording side where you make videos and send them. The same account moves between the two with a dropdown, so a task that starts in the chat can end in a recorded video without changing tools.

The two sides of the platform

The fastest way to understand the product is to stop thinking of it as one tool. One side is a conversation. The other side is a camera, a library and an inbox. Almost every confused first session comes from looking for a recording button on the AI side or asking the recording side to schedule something.

The dropdown that switches between them is the whole navigation model. Agent on one side, Studio on the other. Once that lands, the rest of the platform stops feeling like a menu to memorise.

What Dubb Agent is for

Dubb Agent is where you type or speak an instruction and the work happens. It holds your recent chats in a list you can pin or search, which matters more than it sounds, because the useful conversations are the ones you want to return to rather than recreate.

The microphone beside the prompt is worth trying before you type anything long. It captures speech and turns it into a structured prompt, so you can talk through what you need in a messy way and get a clean instruction to send.

The work that happens on this side is the work you would otherwise do in five other tabs: researching, writing, connecting to outside services, building pages, pulling data out of a CRM, and running something on a schedule.

Recent chats, pinned and searchable

If you are using the agent for recurring work, pin the chats you return to. A pinned conversation keeps the context and the working files in one place, which is the practical alternative to rebuilding the setup every Monday.

What Dubb Studio is for

Dubb Studio is the recording side, and it is the part of the product that has existed longest. You record a video, you send it, and you see what happened after it was sent. It also holds contacts, and for teams without a CRM it works as one, with bulk sending and automations available.

If your mental model is a camera plus a delivery system plus a report, that is Studio. The video is the product. Everything around it exists to get the right video in front of the right person and tell you whether they watched.

The video styles you can record

There are more recording styles than most people try in their first month, and the choice is usually about what earns the click rather than what looks most impressive.

• Plain webcam. You, the camera and the point you are making. Fastest to record and hardest to get wrong.
• Webcam with a hook in front. You hold up the phone or a printed hook while the webcam records you. The prop is often the reason someone clicks, because it is a visual question in a feed full of statements.
• Webcam with context behind you. A screenshot or a video behind you does the explaining, so you do not need to hold anything. Useful when the thing you are discussing is visual.
• Both at once. Context in the background and a hook in the foreground. This combination is the one that tends to get used once someone has recorded a few of each.
• Screen recording. You in a bubble on top of a page, a document or a dashboard, with the browser as the backdrop.

Cutting those recordings down afterwards is covered in editing video with simple prompts.

The three second preview

When you record a video, the first three seconds play on a loop as an animated preview. That preview is what a recipient sees before deciding to click, which makes the opening framing a delivery decision rather than a creative one.

Two consequences follow from that. Do not spend the first three seconds on a greeting, because the loop will repeat it. And do decide what is on screen at second one: the hook prop, the screenshot behind you, or your face mid sentence. Those three seconds are doing the work an email subject line does.

Screen recording from the browser

The Chrome extension records from inside the browser and places you as a bubble on top of whatever is open. That covers a page you want to point at, a document you are reviewing, a listing, a dashboard, or someone's own website.

It also carries a teleprompter, which is the difference between a screen recording that sounds considered and one that sounds like someone reading a page out loud for the first time. Recorded against a real page, the viewer gets both the context and the commentary.

Where to start if you are new

If you have an hour, spend the first twenty minutes in Studio recording one plain webcam video and sending it to yourself. That single loop teaches you the preview, the library and the tracking view, and it removes most of the hesitation that stops people recording their second video.

Spend the next forty minutes in the agent connecting one thing you already use and asking it to do one task end to end. The useful pattern is one connection and one task, not ten connections and none finished.

Common mistakes

• Looking for recording in the agent. Switch to Studio. The dropdown is the navigation.
• Recording with no plan for the first three seconds. The preview loops. Make second one deliberate.
• Trying every video style in week one. Pick two, get comfortable, then add a third.
• Connecting ten tools before finishing one task. One working connection teaches you the pattern.
• Ignoring the tracking view. A video with no follow up is a recording, not a conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need both sides of the platform?

You can use Studio on its own if all you want is to record and send videos. The agent adds the work around the video: research, writing, connecting outside tools and running tasks on a schedule. Most people end up using both, but the recording side is not dependent on the AI side.

Is Dubb a CRM as well?

It can be. The Studio side holds contacts and supports bulk sending and automations, which covers the basics for a small team. If you already run a CRM, the useful move is connecting it rather than replacing it.

What is the animated preview?

It is the first three seconds of your recording, looped as a GIF. It plays wherever the video is shared, which is why the opening seconds matter more than the closing ones.

Can I record on my phone?

Yes. The mobile app records with a whiteboard for typing a hook and a teleprompter for the script, which is often the fastest route to a finished video when you are not at a desk.

Which style should I use for a first video?

Plain webcam with nothing held and nothing behind you. It is the least to manage on camera, and once you have done it a few times the props become easy rather than distracting.
