Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m George, the maker of LiveDemo AI.
Over the years I've shipped a lot of code and watched a lot of great products needlessly fail.
Not because the tech wasn't good, but because the demo was an afterthought and the sales story never landed.
Talking to fellow founders and developers, the same frustration kept coming up
"I can build it, but I have no idea how to show it."
That is exactly why I built LiveDemo.ai
A tool that helps founders and developers create demos that actually convert, without needing a marketing team or a professional designer.
You focus on the product.
LiveDemo handles the story.

@gapostolov as someone who has zero design skills, the promise of not needing a marketing team is the real hook. usually, making a demo look 'polished' takes more time than building the actual feature. awesome

💡 Bright idea
Interactive demos are one of those things I keep meaning to set up properly but never get around to. Static screenshots lose context fast. Does this work for flows behind auth, or is it mostly for public marketing pages?
It could be used for sharing public demo links with prospects, But if you have the need for Authenticated demos, behind passwords That could be easily included as a feature.
Just let me know what you mean by flows behind auth

Thanks. I meant product walkthroughs for features behind login — dashboard tour, onboarding flow after signup, that kind of thing. Screenshots can't carry state, so it's hard to show what the app actually does once a user is signed in. Good to know authenticated demos are doable.
@sweepbase I see. Walkthroughs integrated into existing apps is something we don't support yet.

Absolutely nailed one of the issues founders and specially tech founders have and it is to create storytelling demos I have tried in a couple of my projects and it makes a difference compared to how I was doing it before.

Definitely worth trying if you’re building software products. Just recorded a few demos of my own projects and shared them on socials, curious to see where this goes next.

interactive demos as a category feels overdue for an open-source option. how does it compare to something like Arcade or Storylane in terms of capture flow — is it browser extension based?
@tijogaucher Yes, it is similar Browser extension, Mac and Windows Apps and a Figma plugin

@gapostolov Gonna put it on my to try list this week, thank you! Happy launch day

💡 Bright idea
Interactive demos are a criminally underused format for technical content creators. I record a finance/financial modeling podcast (ModeLoop Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0m...) and every time I interview a practitioner, the hardest part isn't the conversation — it's letting listeners "see" the model they're describing after the fact. An interactive demo layered alongside an episode could fix that. Does LiveDemo support embedding into longform content like a podcast episode page, or is it mostly SaaS landing-page oriented?
This is what I was looking for, thanks for building this. Congrats on the launch team!

Love that it's open source. I'm shipping a consumer app (pre-launch) and interactive demos have been on my "I should really do this" list for months, static screenshots undersell everything and loom walkthroughs feel heavy. Does it handle mobile flows well, or is the sweet spot mostly web product right now?

@samir_asadov
We currently support embedding inside Twitter(X) and Medium posts
Also embedding with https://embed.ly/ platform
I am not aware how Spotify podcasts episode page's work
But if they support Iframe for example, yes it would work
