The Hook
Introducing Monid Discover
“So we're launching a new feature called Discover. And what Discover allows you to do is for your AI agent to automatically find and use tools without you having to set them up.”

Motion
On-screen code snippets and text elements animate in with a subtle fade and slide, then transition out. A large '/discover' text animates in with a quick scale and fade.
Product Reveal
Agent Autonomously Finds Tools
“So for example, if I wanted to find manufacturers and their emails, I could just tell my agent, 'Hey, find me manufacturers and their emails.' And then the agent would use Monid Discover Endpoint to find tools like Apollo and People Data Labs.”

Camera
The presenter is framed in a vertical split screen, with the product UI occupying the larger left portion. The camera on the presenter is static.
Motion
UI elements slide in from the left, showcasing agent interaction and code output. A search bar animates with a typing effect, and tool icons appear with a subtle bounce. Scrolling animations within the UI demonstrate data discovery.
Feature Teaser
Inspect and Run at Runtime
“And then it can inspect the descriptions, the endpoint details, and then run the tools at runtime. And this is really powerful because it saves you a lot of time. And it's also really surprising to see the agent discover tools that I didn't even know existed.”

Call to Action
Simple Setup for Autonomous Agents
“And the way you set this up is really simple. You just copy a URL to your agent and tell it what you want it to do, and then it'll autonomously search for tools.”

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the founder-tech-reveal template.

CodeSnippetSlideIn

A rectangular code snippet box slides in from the side (e.g., right or bottom) with a slight fade, often accompanied by a subtle bounce or overshoot effect. It typically contains syntax-highlighted code or JSON.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `spring()` for position and opacity. Animate `translateX` or `translateY` from an off-screen value to 0, and `opacity` from 0 to 1. Apply a `delay` for staggered entry if multiple snippets appear.

SearchBarTypingEffect

A search bar appears, and text within it is revealed character by character, simulating a user typing. This is often followed by the appearance of search results or related icons.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for timing. For the typing effect, use `split()` on the text string and map over characters, animating `opacity` and `width` for each character with a small `delay` between them. The cursor can be a blinking `Rectangle` component.

IconBounceReveal

Small, distinct icons (e.g., tool logos, question marks) appear on screen with a quick, spring-like bounce or pop animation, often in a staggered sequence.

+ Code construction recipe

Wrap each icon in a `spring()` animation for `scale` (from 0 to 1) and `translateY` (for a slight bounce). Use `delay` for each icon to create a staggered reveal effect across multiple icons.
