What is an Interactive Demo?

An interactive demo is a clickable, guided walkthrough of a product — recorded once, replayed endlessly, with no live environment required.

Interactive demos are self-serve product walkthroughs that let a prospect or user experience a product without a live environment, a sandbox login, or a sales engineer on the call. They capture the real UI at record time and replay it as a guided, clickable tour. The best interactive demos focus on one job-to-be-done, run under two minutes, and end with a clear next step.

01

Interactive demo vs screen recording vs product tour

A screen recording is passive — the viewer watches. A product tour is in-app — it runs in the live product. An interactive demo is a captured, self-serve replay — no live env, no login, runs anywhere.

02

When to use an interactive demo

Top-of-funnel: embed on landing pages. Mid-funnel: send in outbound. Post-demo: follow-up to the prospect feature request. Onboarding: replace the first live walkthrough call.
