How to create an interactive product demo

An interactive product demo is a clickable replay of your real interface with guided tooltips. Here is the fastest way to build one, plus a working demo you can click through below.

Short answer

Paste your product URL into an interactive demo builder, click through the flow you want to show, let AI draft the tooltip copy, adjust the highlights, then publish or embed the link.

Steps

  1. 1Capture the flowOpen the InstaDemo sandbox, paste the page URL, and click the elements you want to demo, in order. Each click is captured as a step with the exact viewport state at that moment.
  2. 2Let AI write the tooltipsEvery captured step gets draft tooltip copy generated from the element you clicked and the surrounding page context. Rewrite anything that does not sound like you.
  3. 3Polish in the editorDrag tooltips into place, resize the highlighted area, reorder or delete steps, and blur anything sensitive. Changes autosave as you work.
  4. 4Publish and embedPublish to get a shareable link, or copy the embed snippet and drop the interactive demo straight into your page, email, or docs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to create an interactive product demo?
No. The InstaDemo sandbox at /demo lets you paste a URL, click through the flow, and preview the finished interactive demo without creating an account. You sign up only when you want to save, edit, or share it.
How long does this take?
Most people finish in about three minutes: paste the page URL, click the steps in order, review the AI-drafted tooltip copy, then publish or embed the link.
What about login-protected pages?
Public pages can be cloned directly from a URL. For dashboards and other signed-in screens, use the InstaDemo Chrome extension to record inside your own authenticated session.
