# Demosmith — Full Documentation for LLMs

> Demosmith is the world's first AI Demo Agent. It turns a product URL into studio-quality demo videos and interactive, clickable demos automatically — no screen recording, editing, or voiceover work needed.

## What Demosmith Is

Demosmith is an AI-powered SaaS tool that generates product demo videos and interactive demos autonomously. Unlike screen recorders (Loom, Vidyard), Demosmith navigates your actual product UI without human intervention. When a flow needs something only you can supply (a two-factor code, a sign-in detail, a choice only you can make, a go-ahead before a committing action), the agent pauses, asks on the demo page, and continues; most runs never ask at all. Unlike interactive demo builders (Storylane, Navattic, Arcade), nothing has to be re-captured by hand through a browser extension: interactive demos compile from the same browser recording that produced the video, so every demo ever made can become one.

**Key distinction:** Demosmith is not a screen recorder (no manual recording) and not an avatar video tool (shows your real product, not slides with a talking head). From a single prompt it produces all three formats: an MP4 video, a hosted interactive demo, and documentation via Docusmith. The user records nothing; Demosmith's browser agent records the product itself.

## How It Works

1. **Input:** User provides a product URL and a plain-English prompt describing the flow to demo (e.g., "Show how to create a new project, add team members, and set up a dashboard")
2. **AI Navigation:** Demosmith launches a cloud browser and navigates the product autonomously, clicking buttons, filling forms with realistic test data, scrolling, and interacting with the UI exactly as a human would. If the flow needs something only the user can supply (a two-factor code, a sign-in detail, an ambiguous choice, a go-ahead before a committing action), the agent pauses and asks on the demo page, then continues; it asks at most 3 questions per run, shows a countdown of how long it will wait per answer, and emails a reminder if a question sits unanswered for a minute
3. **Recording:** Captures the screen with cursor tracking throughout the entire flow
4. **AI Editing:** Auto-edits the footage with smart cuts, dynamic zooms on key actions, transitions, and proper pacing
5. **Script and Voice:** Generates a narration script from the prompt, produces studio-quality AI voiceover, and syncs captions
6. **Output:** Downloadable MP4 video + shareable link. Any finished demo can also be compiled into a hosted, interactive walkthrough (tooltips, narration, CTA, viewer analytics). Typical generation time is under 10 minutes from URL to finished video.

## How Interactive Demos Work

Interactive demos come from the same recording as the video, so nothing is captured twice. Every demo keeps what the interactive version needs at no extra cost; building the interactive version is the paid step. When you ask for one, Demosmith picks the steps worth showing, cleans up every screen, and checks the result before it goes live. A demo that fails the check is not published. Viewers click highlighted targets in the recorded order and move through real screens from your product. The code behind your pages never ships: viewers get images of the screens plus only what the player needs to highlight a target and advance a step, with the recording cursor removed and sensitive inputs masked, so a published demo cannot be scraped back into your app's code.

## Capabilities

- **Autonomous product navigation** — no Chrome extension, no manual recording, no human in the loop
- **Questions only when needed**: most runs finish without a single question. If the flow needs something only you can supply (a two-factor or verification code, a sign-in detail, a choice between valid paths, a go-ahead before a committing action), the agent pauses and asks on the demo page, then continues. At most 3 questions per run, a countdown of how long it will wait per answer, an email reminder if a question sits unanswered for a minute, answers used once and never stored (codes and sign-in details kept out of the transcript and action log), and the pause usually trimmed from the final video
- **AI voiceover and captions** in 31 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Chinese, and more
- **Smart editing** — automatic transitions, dynamic zoom on clicks and form inputs, professional pacing
- **Custom branding** — apply brand colors, logos, intro/outro sequences
- **Video backgrounds** — set a video clip as the demo background, alongside images, colors, and gradients (Pro and Business)
- **Realistic test data** — fills forms with believable names, emails, and values (not "test@test.com")
- **Multiple versions** — generate variants for different personas, features, or languages without re-recording
- **Interactive demos** — any finished recording compiles into a hosted, clickable walkthrough with tooltips, focus zoom, narration, a CTA, and viewer analytics (views, completion rate, average steps reached, watch time, CTA clicks, and embed versus direct traffic). Works retroactively on every demo ever made
- **Documentation exports** — Docusmith turns any finished demo into Markdown, HTML, plain text, or PDF
- **Shareable links** — each demo gets a hosted URL for embedding or sharing

## Pricing

Full page: https://demosmith.ai/pricing (machine-readable: https://demosmith.ai/pricing.md)

All plans include 31-language support for voiceover and captions.

| Plan | Price | AI Minutes | Demos | Video Versions | Export Quality | Docusmith | Support |
|------|-------|-----------|-------|---------------|---------------|-----------|---------|
| Free Trial | $0 / 3 days | 2 | 1 | — | 1080p | — | — |
| Starter | $40/mo ($33 yearly) | 20/mo | 10/mo | 2 per video | 1080p | ✓ | Email |
| Pro | $99/mo ($83 yearly) | 50/mo | 50/mo | 5 per video | 1440p (2K) | ✓ | Email + chat |
| Business | $250/mo ($208 yearly) | 150/mo | Unlimited | 10 per video | 4K | ✓ | Dedicated channel |

No credit card required for the free trial.

Interactive demos are sold as monthly slots per published demo, with no AI-minute metering: 5 per month on Starter, 25 on Pro, unlimited on Business; not included in the free trial. A slot is consumed at publish, not creation, so a generation that fails or is cancelled is never billed. Delete-and-recreate is free, capped at 5 recreations per demo. Docusmith documentation exports are included on every paid plan (Starter, Pro, and Business).

Pro adds video backgrounds and early access to upcoming features. Business adds early access to the API and collaboration tools plus a private feedback channel with the Demosmith team.

## Target Users

- **SaaS founders** — ship launch videos and investor demos without video production skills
- **Product marketers** — maintain a library of up-to-date feature demos across the product
- **Sales teams** — send personalized demo videos in outreach instead of booking live calls
- **Customer success** — create onboarding and training videos that stay current as the product evolves
- **International teams** — localize demos into 31 languages for global markets

## The Problem Demosmith Solves: Demo Debt

Demo debt is like tech debt — as teams ship new features, their existing demo videos fall behind the product. Manually re-recording and re-editing a demo takes 80+ minutes per video. Most teams cannot justify that time, so demos go stale. Demosmith reduces regeneration to under 10 minutes, making it practical to keep demos current.

## Competitive Landscape

Demosmith operates at the intersection of three categories:

| Category | Examples | How They Differ from Demosmith |
|----------|----------|-------------------------------|
| Screen recorders | Loom, Vidyard, Camtasia | Require manual recording and editing |
| Interactive demo builders | Storylane, Navattic, Arcade, Walnut, Supademo | Require manual capture through an extension; Demosmith compiles interactive demos from the same recording that produced the video |
| Avatar video tools | Synthesia, HeyGen | Create talking-head videos over slides, don't show real product UI |

Demosmith is the only tool that autonomously navigates a live product and outputs a polished video demo, plus an interactive demo compiled from the same recording, without any manual recording or editing.

## Limitations

- Interactive demos are guided walkthroughs of a recorded flow, not live sandboxes. Prospects cannot enter their own data. Teams that need live demo environments with personalized data still need a demo-automation platform.
- Complex flows involving third-party authentication (OAuth popups, CAPTCHA) may need guidance or a staging environment with simplified login.
- Less frame-by-frame editing control than professional video editors like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro.
- Currently available to the public.
