What's new

AI voices sometimes stumble over product names, acronyms and made-up words. Brand Kit now has a Pronunciations tab. Write the word the way it appears in your script, then spell it the way it should sound, and the narrator says it your way. Your script and captions keep your spelling.

• Add up to 100 words, each for one language or for every language
• Press play to hear a word in any voice before you save it
• Works for regular narration, the AI presenter and interactive demos
• Saved words apply to every narration made after you save. Videos you already have keep their current voiceover
• Workspace owners and admins can edit the list
• The Create page now warns you when a prompt looks cut off, or much shorter than the demo it describes, so you do not end up with a short video by accident. You can still go ahead. Re-record checks an edited prompt the same way

Every finished demo now has two more tabs. Social turns it into a motion graphic and a set of short clips for every feed, in your product's own look. Product Film turns it into a launch-style film of your product at work. Neither needs a new recording: each is built from the screens Demosmith captured when it recorded your demo.

• A social pack: one 15 to 30 second motion graphic with music and 5 to 8 silent B-roll clips, each in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9
• Social packs pick up your product's colours, fonts and logo, or use your Brand Kit, and rebuild your real screens so text stays sharp
• A product film: a 16:9 launch-style film of your product, usually under a minute, with music and motion titles
• Five film styles, Calm, Launch, Editorial, Studio and Pop, each with a sample to watch. Change the intro, outro, music, opening title and closing line
• Product films swap names and email addresses on screen for made-up ones. Share a film with a public link or embed it on your site
• Included on Starter, Pro, Business and Enterprise. A social pack uses 1 AI minute and a product film uses 2
• Download now saves the video to your computer instead of opening it in a new tab

Your demo can now open and close with one of 16 animated title styles, alongside the three classic ones. Keynote is the default for new demos. Every style uses your logo, brand colour and title.

• Styles come in three groups: Title, Browser frame, and Streaming & creator
• Preview any style at full size before you choose it, on the Create page or in the editor
• One style covers the intro and the outro, and a single switch on the Create page turns them off
• The Demosmith browser tab shows your unread count, the same as the bell
• Finished demos, failed demos and questions from the agent now reach the bell while Demosmith is open, even with desktop alerts turned off

While a demo records, the demo page now shows what the agent is doing, one line at a time, such as signing in or opening a list. And when your product changes, you can record a finished demo again without starting from scratch.

• Progress lines appear in your demo’s narration language, with the current step highlighted
• If the agent stops to ask you something, such as a sign-in code, the progress lines stay in view while it waits
• Re-record sits next to Download on a finished demo and in the My Demos menu. You can edit the prompt before it starts
• A re-record makes a new demo and uses AI minutes. Edits to the old video do not carry over, and the two demos link to each other
• If your demo signs in to your product, you enter the login again, because Demosmith does not keep it
• The Create page links to our walkthrough video for anyone making their first demo

Your demos can now have a face. Turn on the AI presenter and a presenter talks viewers through the video from a small circle in the corner, while your product fills the rest of the screen. Demosmith still records your real app, and the presenter sits on top. It is optional, and videos without one work exactly as before.

• Six presenters to choose from, three women and three men. Hover over a face to see them talk
• Put the presenter in any corner at a small, medium or large size, picked on a preview of your video
• Thirty voices to choose from, and the presenter speaks 28 languages
• Turn it on when you create a demo, or add it later in the editor, and move or resize the presenter whenever you like
• Included on Starter, Pro, Business and Enterprise

When a limit stops a demo, Demosmith now tells you which one it was: your AI minutes, your demos for the month, or how many demos can run at once.

• The sidebar shows a separate bar for each limit, and leads with the one you will reach first
• The message keeps naming the limit after it sends you to another page
• Plan cards show how many demos each plan can run at once, and the limit message names the plan that would run more

Most recordings still finish without a single question. When a flow genuinely needs you, the run now pauses and asks instead of guessing: a two-factor code, a sign-in detail, a choice between two valid paths, or a go-ahead before an action that commits something. Answer on the demo page and the run continues where it stopped. Works on every plan, and one run still feeds the video and the interactive demo.

• Four kinds of question: two-factor and verification codes, sign-in details, choices between two valid paths, and go-aheads before committing actions like sending or deleting
• Each question card shows a countdown of how long it will wait, and an email reminder follows if a question sits unanswered for a minute
• At most three questions per run, so the recording still belongs to the agent
• Codes and sign-in details are kept out of the transcript and the action log; answers are used once and never stored
• The pause is usually trimmed from the final video, and the same run still produces the video and the interactive demo

A single Demosmith run now returns three formats: video, interactive demo, and documentation. Any finished demo can become a hosted, interactive walkthrough. Every Demosmith recording has been capturing its interactive bundle all along, so the demos you made months ago qualify too. No re-recording, no browser extension, no access to your app.

• Built on request: Demosmith picks the steps, cleans up every screen, and checks the result, and nothing goes live unless it passes
• Viewers click highlighted targets through real captured screens, with tooltips, focus zoom, narration, and a call-to-action
• Analytics: views, deduped unique viewers, completion rate, average steps reached, watch time, CTA clicks and rate, views over time, and embed versus direct traffic
• Viewers see images of your screens, never your code: the recording cursor is removed and sensitive inputs are masked
• Monthly slots, no AI minutes: Starter 5, Pro 25, Business unlimited. Charged at publish, never for failed or cancelled generations, and recreating is free

Edits and plan changes cost money, and the app used to go ahead without showing a number. Now you see it before you confirm.

• The video editors show how many AI minutes an edit will use before you save it. If you do not have enough minutes left, Demosmith tells you before the edit starts
• Changing plans shows what will be charged to your card, or the credit you will get, before anything happens
• Brand Kit lets you choose the cursor shape over clickable things: the pointing hand, or the plain arrow for a more formal look

Sync Engine 2.0 fixes the most common demo quality problem: narration running ahead of the screen. Every voiceover line now fires at the moment the relevant UI state is visible, not at a fixed script timestamp. Steps follow the actual recorded flow, and zooms track the elements that matter rather than fixed pixel coordinates.

• Narration waits for the correct UI state before speaking. No more lines playing over the wrong screen.
• Step sequencing follows the actual recorded flow, including skipped steps, conditional branches, and dynamic content
• Zooms track semantic UI elements (buttons, form fields, data points) instead of pixel coordinates
• Automatic for all new demos — no settings to change

Turn any completed demo version into publish-ready documentation exports from the demo details page. Generate Markdown, HTML, plain text, or PDF, preview the result, and copy or download when it’s ready.

• Docusmith panel on the demo details page
• Output formats: Markdown, HTML, plain text, or PDF
• Preview rendered Markdown/HTML and inspect raw source
• Copy generated text or download completed exports

Export at 2K when your plan supports it, use video backgrounds, and pick from a refreshed music library. Output is also back to proper 1080p.

• 2K export (2560×1440) option on the create page (1080p remains the default)
• Background videos behind your demo. Same spot where you used to pick an image, now you can pick a moving one.
• 14 new background music tracks. If your demo used an old track, it auto-picks the closest replacement.
• Demos render at proper 1080p now.
• Background music volume is even across all demos. No more random loud ones.
• Overall quality improvements across the board.

When a free user hits the limit on how many demos can run at once, the page now tells you what is running and lets you cancel one to free up a slot.

• See your active demos and cancel one to start a new one, or upgrade your plan
• Works on create, retry, and re-render so you are not stuck guessing why nothing happened

A "Generate Documentation" button sits next to Download on the demo details page. Click it for a peek at what is coming. Pro users get a coming-soon notice; everyone else sees the plan requirement.

• Animated preview of the upcoming documentation export feature, with messaging that matches your current plan

You can now pick a cursor shape, set its color, and adjust the size straight from the Brand Kit page. A live preview shows how it looks on a mock app background before you save. The cursor that ends up in the rendered video now matches what you see in that preview.

• Visual grid of SVG cursor styles with a color picker and a size slider (12 to 40 px), plus a static preview on a mock background
• Frontend previews and backend renders now produce the same cursor output, including color, size, and hotspot alignment

If you are logged in, you can start a support thread without leaving Demosmith. We attach your account so you are not re-explaining who you are.

• Support chat on in-app pages only (it does not load on login, signup, password reset, onboarding, or email verification)
• Name, email, org, and plan details sync when the widget opens so support sees the same context you see
• Waitlist removed on demosmith.ai (April 16, 2026): CTAs now point to app.demosmith.ai instead of a modal

Shared demos get a real public page with likes, view counts, and an embed snippet you can paste elsewhere. Explore moved to the main site so people can browse without an account.

• Public share pages with likes and views; the publish dialog includes embed code you can copy
• The app sidebar link for Explore goes to demosmith.ai/explore
• I'm feeling lucky (preview): from the dashboard or create flow, paste a URL, watch the scan animation, filter suggestions, and jump into create with one click. The heavy lifting on the server side is still catching up.

You can turn intros and outros on or off, but you also pick a layout. Each option loops a tiny preview so you are not guessing from a label alone.

• Three intro layouts (preview, centered, full split) and three outro styles (classic, glow logo, cinematic), each optional
• Same animated thumbnails in the AI-assisted and manual editors; brand logo option appears when an intro style is enabled
• "Show website preview" hides automatically for the centered intro style, which has no browser frame

The create flow is easier to read while the model works. Scrolling tracks the typing animation without jumping, follow-up rounds do not replay the whole site essay, and long summaries are not chopped off mid-line.

• Auto-scroll stays with the typing animation; extra padding at the bottom so the last lines are not glued to the edge of the viewport
• When you answer a follow-up question, the site summary you already saw stays put instead of retyping in front of you
• Long site context text is no longer cut off by the reveal animation height limit

You see steps while the URL is analyzed instead of one endless spinner. Demo rows pick up the target site favicon so a glance tells you which product you are looking at.

• Analysis UI walks through skeleton, site context, then refinement instead of a single blocking wait state
• Later clarification rounds reuse the cached site context, so they skip a full rescrape and feel quicker
• Target-site favicons on My Demos, dashboard recents, demo details, and the create analysis stream

Google works on both login and signup. You end up in the same account model as email users, so billing and demos behave the same. One fewer password if you prefer it that way.

• Continue with Google uses a short popup, then drops you into the normal logged-in session

The editor only talks to the server when you tell it to. Language pickers line up with the full 29-language list, and the flaky bits around loading analysis in secure mode got quieter.

• Autosave is gone: saves happen when you click save, save and render, or save a new version
• The main Edit button stays disabled while a version is generating, re-rendering, or has a branch in flight
• Both editors use the full 29-language list with flags in the language picker
• Voice previews resolve reliably from the updated voices API; legacy sample URLs redirect to the CDN asset host
• Clearer toasts when secure editor content cannot load (expired session, unsupported browser crypto, or network issues)

When something throws in production, we get a stack trace. For a slice of error sessions we also keep a short replay so we can see what led up to the crash. Routine browsing is not the target.

• Error reporting plus optional replay on failures. Nothing about your normal workflow changes on purpose.

Voiceover and captions now cover 29 languages, up from 6. Same workflow: pick a language, generate, iterate. No re-recording on your side.

Update: voiceover now covers 31 languages.

• Full list: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese
• Voice cards show flags for short locale codes and use the new preview URLs from the voices API

The app runs on Google Cloud with a CDN in front. Builds roll out to production on a short loop. When you paste a link to Demosmith somewhere, the preview card should look intentional instead of empty.

• Production hosting on Google Cloud with a CDN, which helps if your team is spread across regions
• Improvements ship to the live app on a short cadence after we merge them
• App pages include Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata aligned with the marketing site

Preview faster, hide sensitive UI with blur boxes you drag on the canvas, and tune zoom timing without guessing from the timeline alone.

• Blur regions you can draw, move, resize, and pan on the preview. Handles are amber so you do not confuse them with zoom guides. Overlap is allowed on the same frame.
• Zoom actions expose start time in seconds and a duration slider. If you nudge the start, the end stays put and duration recomputes.
• Preview playback goes up to 2.5x (was 2x). Export timing is unchanged.
• Max zoom segment length is 30 seconds in both editors (was 12 seconds)

You can rate a render, give each section a plain-language goal, and toggle intros or outros per version. Small UI wins on the side (sidebar memory, clearer renewal dates).

• Per-version star rating plus an optional comment. We store it on the version, not just the parent demo.
• Section objectives: one sentence per segment. Demosmith uses it for narration and pacing. Timings default automatically; you can override in m:ss if you care.
• Intro and outro toggles per version, separate from your global brand defaults
• Sidebar now remembers its open or collapsed state across sessions
• Subscription renewal and expiry dates now display in a clean, readable format; usage history shows a full credit transaction breakdown

The heaviest editor drop so far: cut the timeline, undo bad edits, drag zoom targets on the frame, add a music bed, and tweak subtitle styling. Still all in the browser tab.

• Timeline cut and trim: drag handles, snap near narration boundaries, skipped regions stay skipped in preview
• Undo and redo with full history. Cmd/Ctrl+Z undoes; Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes.
• Zoom guide overlay on the video itself. Drag corners instead of typing coordinates nobody remembers.
• Background music with a volume slider. Tracks preload when you open the editor so switching does not stutter.
• Per-version intro and outro copy and layout, without overwriting your global brand defaults
• Subtitle styling: font, size, color, position, with live preview
• Cancel a running job. Billing only charges for work already done.

Mostly first-run stuff: a tour that does not assume you read docs, dark mode that respects the OS default, and voice picking that does not dump fifty options on you with zero guidance.

• Product tour that branches a little based on what you said during onboarding, plus motion and a confetti burst at the end if you finish it
• Voice list with flags and short accent notes. First visit picks a recommended default so you are not stuck on step zero.
• Dark mode everywhere, follows system on first load, then remembers what you picked in localStorage
• Background stills from a built-in library at create time, or swap later in the editor. Images preload so the UI does not hitch.
• Explore gallery restyle: bigger thumbnails, less clutter
• Plan limits surface inside the editor with copy that tells you if you need credits or an upgrade before save or re-render
• Signup: country auto-detection, business email validation, and name validation with clear error messages
• Billing: expired plan banner with upgrade prompt, improved error handling, upload restrictions tied to plan tier
