Hey Product Hunt! I'm Jakob, co-founder and CEO of Butter, and we’re beyond excited to introduce Butter Scenes! 🎉 We’re literally going live with the product today - so you’re the first that’ll see it! If you’ve ever run a remote workshop or meeting, you know the tech struggle: bouncing between separate tools for whiteboarding, presentations, and activities to keep things engaging. Butter Scenes was born to solve that problem—by bringing all the tools you need into one smooth, easy-to-use interactive presentation tool that works with the video platforms you already use, like Zoom and Google Meet 🔥 💭 Why Butter Scenes? We heard from facilitators that using multiple tools often disrupts the flow and loses participant engagement. So, we designed Scenes to be a complete facilitation toolkit! You get all the features you need to build and facilitate a full interactive presentation or workshop, now with even more power and flexibility. 🤩 What makes Butter Scenes stand out: - 🧰 Complete toolkit: Everything you need for a successful session—from brainstorming to Q&A, polls, and whiteboarding—no need to switch tools mid-session. - ⚡️ Simple for participants: One link, no extra logins or downloads—just jump in and collaborate. - 💃 500% more engagement: Keep participants involved with interactive tools like polls, pin-on-image, and structured canvases for clear, focused collaboration. - 🔗 Data connections to flow from scene to scene: Carry participant inputs forward to build a cohesive, continuous experience. - 🧠 AI-powered insights: Quickly summarize and cluster responses, so you can guide discussions with ease. Butter Scenes is here to help you create workshops that feel joyful and go beyond just ‘getting through it.’ We believe that when participants are truly engaged, collaboration happens naturally—and that’s when the real magic begins 🥳  Scenes also build on top of what we’ve built for years with Butter Video. We’ve already had several amazing launches, and know how incredible the Product Hunt Community is. - The OG Butter launch back in 2021 - the thing that started it all!: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... - Our Butter Mobile launch - probably the weirdest but most awesome video we ever did!: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... in 2022 - Our Butter 2.0 launch in 2023 - when we felt like our product was suddenly all grown up!: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... This launch is however the biggest since the first one - and maybe even bigger. A totally new product that’s built on our experience in building a tool for remote interactivity and workshops. Please drop a comment or DM if you want to chat more—we’d love to hear your feedback! And even better - try out Scenes today! Cheers, Jakob & the Butter Team 💛

@jakob_knutzen1 What a HUGE update @jakob_knutzen1! This looks amazing, very excited to give this a try - I can see so many use cases where you don't need in-depth hundreds of tools, but for many use cases what this launch offers could be amazing all in one solution, that does it all! 🙌 Congrats to the whole team and good luck!

Ben Syverson
Congrats on the launch @jakob_knutzen1! Scenes looks amazing—I would have killed for this when leading workshops and presentations at IDEO. PS, I love the visual design of the Seen in Scenes page! I always appreciate when a brand uses an event as an opportunity to "loosen the tie" of the parent brand. :)
Jakob Knutzen
@bensyverson Woah, this means a lot from a workshop power user like you! Hehe, yeah - branding has been a bit of a challenge for this, so appreciate you saying that!
Chris Holm-Hansen
@bensyverson this is really great to hear Ben 🙏 And thanks so much for the kind words on the identity for Seen in Scenes - that means a lot!
Cheska Teresa
So heartwarming to hear this, @bensyverson! Would love to hear your feedback once you start testing it out!
Chris Holm-Hansen
I am so proud of the time for pulling through on this one 🥲 Scenes has turned out to be so much more than what I had hoped for - and the list of planned updates, features and improvements is still a mile long! I cannot wait to see Butter Scenes in use, and look forward to hearing the first reactions. The vibe and brand of Butter Video, is fully alive in Scenes - looking forward to seeing what you build! Always happy to answer any comments or questions - and if you come up with new ideas, please hit me up with them! Happy launch day 🙌
Jakob Knutzen
@mrchrisholm Soooo proud tooo!
Cheska Teresa
@mrchrisholm Same here! Feeling fantastic seeing this one through 💛
Steve Schofield
💡 Bright idea
Congratulations on the launch @jakob_knutzen1 and the Butter team. The execution of both this launch, and from I can see in the polish of the Scene designer is a credit to your product, design and engineering team. I was working on something very similar to this at Mural, so I totally understand the problem space and admire the elegant solution - I look forward to really taking it for spin with my team. I would love to see this become a fully extensible platform that can enable the ecosystem to develop simple, rich interactive experiences for teams, on top of those made possible by the existing scene builder UI. I can immediately see the need for generative AI assist to scaffold scenes based on prompts to make the workflow feel more magical - I think we're ready for that and I'm sure it's something you've been thinking about. Again, huge kudos and congrats on the launch!
Jakob Knutzen
@r3trosteve Woah, this is such a lovely comment! Means so much coming from you! We're done A LOT to make it pretty polished, even for launch! And yeah, GenAI is up next on our list - soooo many uses. Coming within the next 2-3 weeks, we just couldn't polish it enough for our launch!
Cheska Teresa
@r3trosteve Thanks so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! 🎉 So happy to hear it resonates with someone who knows the space so well. We definitely have GenAI on our list -- watch this space!
Chris Holm-Hansen
@r3trosteve thank you so much for the kudos - really appreciate this 🙏 Some great thoughts on future opportunities! Very much agree with your takes on leveraging AI within Scenes to smoothen the creation experience and bring more creativity would be super valuable!
