Behind the login
Onboarding happens after sign-up, so the recording has to as well. DemoBot logs in with a password, an email code or an SMS code, then starts the video inside the account.
— onboarding videos
SaaS onboarding videos that show the path, not the slides.
Turn the first-week questions your users keep asking into a SaaS onboarding video. Paste your app’s URL, say what a new customer should do first, and DemoBot records it inside the real product with captions and a voiceover, ready for the welcome email, the empty state and the help center.

— what to ask for
Start with the first three things.
Good onboarding is a short list: connect the data, invite the team, hit the first result. Give the planner that list as a prompt. It signs in with a test account, does the steps in the real interface, and writes a caption for each one, so the video shows real screens with real data rather than a mock-up that goes stale at the next release.
- Show a new user connecting their first data source and seeing the first chart appear.
- Walk through inviting the team and setting who can see which projects.
- Demo the three things to do before the trial ends, in the order we recommend.
DemoBot’s own first-run flow, recorded by DemoBot with captions and narration.
— made for this
Built for this kind of video.
The parts of DemoBot that matter most here. Everything on the features page is included too.
It asks when unsure
Turn on questions and the planner pauses when your app offers two ways to do something, asks which one new users should learn, and continues. The video teaches the path you chose.
Redo it when onboarding changes
The plan is saved with the video. When the first-run screens change, fix the steps that moved and record again at the video rate. The welcome email keeps pointing at a video that matches the product.
— the whole thing
Four steps. Then a video.
01 / prompt
Paste your link
Say roughly how long it should be and what to cover. Flip on captions, voice, or music if you want them. Add a login if you need one.
02 / plan
The agent explores
It opens your site, looks around, and writes up a plan for the walkthrough. You can watch it work in real time.
03 / review
Edit before record
Tweak the steps and the words until it's right. When you're happy, hit record and it takes over.
04 / ship
Your video lands
A few minutes later you've got a polished MP4, ready to download and post anywhere.
— recommended setup
Pick these, then press go.
The defaults that suit this kind of demo. Change any of them per demo.
Medium · 7–12 steps
7 to 12 steps: the first session, not the whole product.
Desktop 1080p
Most SaaS onboarding happens on a laptop. Record a second, mobile version for the app’s responsive flow.
Planned on Opus
The default for most demos; it explores deeper and recovers from surprises.
A medium script on Opus plus one narrated recording is 650 credits. New accounts start with 300 free credits, enough for a short narrated demo (290); the first pack unlocks longer scripts, fable and background music. See the full rate card.
— faq
Questions people ask before the first one.
Where do teams put onboarding videos?
In the welcome email, on empty states inside the app, in the help center article for the first setup, and in the in-app checklist. One MP4 works everywhere it is dropped; the hosted player is optional.
Can one plan produce several videos?
Yes. A script is planned once and can be recorded as many times as you like: with or without narration, with a different voice, with or without music. Each recording costs the video rate, not a new plan.
What about a product that needs setup data to look right?
Record with a test account that already has data in it. DemoBot signs in with the credentials you give it and shows what that account sees, so the charts and lists are real. Credentials stay encrypted and are never shown to the model.
Will it run on our staging environment?
Public staging URLs work like any other site. For localhost, VPN-only or bot-protected environments, record with the Chrome extension in your own browser and let DemoBot add the narration and captions afterwards.
Onboard them with the real thing.
Sign up, paste your app’s URL, describe the first session. The first credits are free, voiceover included.
