Download Protovision.

Protovision.zip, version 0.17.2: every program in one archive, for Windows 64 and 32 bits. No installer.

Then

  1. 1

    Unzip it and open a terminal there

    Right-click the zip, Extract all, open the folder, then type powershell in its address bar. Windows Defender may slow the recording down: add this folder to its exclusions if it does.
  2. 2

    Record a program

    .\ProtoTTD.exe
    # the window: Record, pick the program, use it, close it: the debugger opens on its capture
    .\ProtoTTD.exe launch C:\path\to\app.exe
    # or headless: app.proto.cap goes to Documents\Protovision\runs
  3. 3

    Debug it, forward and backward (free)

    .\ProtoTTD.exe gui app.proto.cap
    # the window on a capture: F11 step, F10 over, F5 run, Alt for backward, Ctrl+P to go anywhere
    .\ProtoTTD.exe app.proto.cap
    # or the prompt, WinDbg style: t, g, t-, g-, bp, calls, who, .help
  4. 4

    Or let your AI agent analyse it (paid per question)

    Sign in to get your token and your MCP link (200 free credits), then:
    .\ProtoInsight.exe index app.proto.cap
    $env:PROTOVISION_TOKEN = "<your token>"
    .\ProtoInsight.exe serve app.proto.bundle
    # in another terminal: give your link to Claude
    claude mcp add --transport http protovision <your link>
    Ask it “what does this program do?” and watch it work in your live view.
