+## Highlights And AI Automation
+
+To create a highlight in the player, play the recording, press **Mark start**,
+move to the end of the interesting part, press **Mark end**, enter a name, and
+press **Add highlight**. Highlights are saved in `media-mp4/highlights.json`.
+
+The highlight API is intentionally simple. An AI agent can list highlights:
+
+```sh
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8765/api/highlights
+```
+
+It can append one using normal date and clock values:
+
+```sh
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8765/api/highlights \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"date":"2026-08-27","start_time":"09:26:40","end_time":"09:28:40","title":"Person at entrance"}'
+```
+
+The API stores the entry without changing any video. `start` and `end` may also
+be used as seconds from midnight, and `duration` may be used instead of an end
+time. For example, `{"start":"09:26:40","duration":120}` creates a
+two-minute highlight. This makes it straightforward for an AI to append
+detections, labels, or review segments programmatically.
