Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm George, the maker of LiveDemo AI.
LiveDemo helps you turn your product into an interactive demo that converts, built for founders and developers.
Instead of a screen recording or a static click-through prototype, you get a real demo that shows what your product does and why someone should care.
I've shipped a lot of code over the years and seen good products fail for one simple reason: the demo was an afterthought, and the sales pitch never landed.
Every founder and developer I talked to said the same thing:
"I can build it, I just don't know how to show it."
That's the problem LiveDemo solves.
What stands out here:
- Build interactive demos without a designer or extra dev work
- Turn your product's features into a demo that actually converts
- No marketing team needed, go straight from build to demo
If you've built something good and struggled to show it off, check out LiveDemo.
The answer you gave Ridhwik is more interesting than it looks. Advanced engagement analytics and lead capture sit behind a paid plan on cloud, but they are already in the repo for self hosting. That makes your free tier your most generous tier, and the people most able to run docker compose are exactly the founders and developers you say you built this for.
That is not necessarily wrong. Plenty of open core companies win by making the OSS version genuinely complete and charging for never having to think about infrastructure. But it seems worth saying out loud on the pricing page instead of leaving it to surface in a comment thread, because a developer comparing you to Storylane right now has no way to tell that the self hosted path hands them the tracking layer everyone else gates.
The staleness answer was the other thing that stood out. Refreshing after a UI change with a recapture rather than a rebuild is the actual reason these tools survive past month three.
Open-source alternative to Storylane and Navattic is the real hook for me; those get expensive fast and you can't self-host them. Since capture runs through a Chrome extension, does the recorded workflow and the generated demo live in my own storage or instance, or does it round-trip through your hosted backend even on the OSS version? And are the AI voiceovers generated server-side per render, or can I point them at my own TTS key so the demo assets stay reproducible?
This looks great! Quick question - how does the AI voiceover quality compare to other tools? And can I embed the demos directly on my website without needing to redirect users elsewhere?
Definitely interested in giving this a try!
the server-side render-by-replaying-in-a-headless-browser approach for exports is clever. with personalized text per viewer, does each shared link get its own server-rendered mp4/gif baked with that person's fields, or is the export always the generic version and personalization only shows live in the embed?
the AI voiceover + personalized text combo is a nice touch over static screenshots. when you capture a real workflow, does it let you redact sensitive fields (customer names, emails) before the demo goes out, or do you need to fake that data in the source account first?
Since it's open source, can you self host the whole thing including the AI voiceover part, or does that piece still need a hosted API key from you guys?
It's not always easy to convey what sets a product apart during traditional demo videos and screenshots, this level of interaction is a gamechanger, great job!
Five LiveDemo launches on here since 2023 is its own kind of growth experiment. Genuinely curious what the repeat PH launch compounds for you: does each one leave behind durable signups, or is it mostly a spike that fades and the real pull comes from another channel by now?
A product demo that looks like the real product is half the battle of selling SaaS.
Open-sourcing the demo layer is a smart call. Proprietary demo tools create vendor lock-in that's hard to audit and nearly impossible to customize for enterprise buyers with specific flows. The build vs. buy tradeoff comes up constantly when evaluating onboarding tooling. How does the branching logic work under the hood? Is it stored as a DAG or something simpler?
Open-source + self-hostable is a smart wedge against Storylane/Navattic/Arcade — a lot of teams get nervous about product-demo data sitting on a third party's infra. I'm actually mid-way through recording my own product demo this week for a Product Hunt launch, doing it the old-fashioned way (screen recording + manual editing), so this caught my eye immediately. Curious how you're handling the "clickable" interactivity layer under the hood — is it recording real DOM interactions and replaying them, or more of a scripted overlay? Would genuinely consider something like this for the next one if it saves the manual editing grind.
Yeah George! Love it. Used to use Arcade for some launches but LiveDemo looks amazing. Wish you all the best!
I do a lot of customer demos and trainings and a simple tool like this would really speed up my process!
open-source in the demo space is a genuinely smart wedge. storylane and navattic are great but pricey, and demos often contain real product screens and customer-ish data teams would rather self-host than ship to a third party. that self-host angle is a reason to switch that arcade can't easily match
Congratulations on launch #5. How heavy is the embed on page load? We keep our landing page light for speed, so that's my main question before dropping a demo widget into the hero.
This sounds useful for so many business owners!! Even the folks who do create videos, is always a headache because the video might need to change to better reflect the tool in a month, so people don't even try video. I'm excited to try this out.
the open-source angle is what got me to actually click through, most of the competitors in this space are closed hosted-only. checked the github repo - how involved is the self-hosted setup compared to just using the hosted version, is it a docker-compose type deal or does it need real infra work to get the recording pipeline running

Who hunted LiveDemo?
LiveDemo was hunted by Aleksandar Blazhev. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
