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

@omri_ben_shoham1
Docker-compose for the web editor and for the backend, but you would also need to run the chrome extension to be able to record livedemos.

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.

@alieksia
Thank you! Great question.
The core embed script itself loads asynchronously, so it won’t block your main page layout or slow down your initial load time.
Once the main page is ready, the interactive steps and assets stream in seamlessly in the background.
Because it captures high-fidelity visuals, the asset payload can currently sit at a few megabytes, but since it's asynchronously loaded, your core site metrics stay safe.
That said, asset optimization and aggressive file-size reduction are actively on our immediate roadmap to make it even leaner!
@gapostolov Good to hear :) If it's async and the core metrics stay clean, the few MB matter much less to me. Thanks for the straight answer
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?
LiveDemo
@talhakhalidmtk
You can absolutely self-host the entire core platform!
For the AI voiceover piece specifically, you need ElevenLabs API key and for the AI enchancing OpenAI API key

Hi Arda! Thank you so much, we'd love for you to give it a spin.
Voiceover: We use ElevenLabs for our voiceovers, ensuring incredibly high-fidelity, premium, and completely natural-sounding audio.
Embedding: Yes, absolutely! You can embed demos directly onto your website with zero redirects. You can also embed them natively on Twitter/X and Medium, or drop them into emails as an animated GIF.
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?

@sabber_ahamed
Thank you for the great question.
No, we don't have per-link server-rendered exports just yet, the MP4/GIF export currently uses the default template values.
Personalization is handled dynamically, so it shines live in the interactive embed.
That said, since the foundation is already built on top of our headless browser rendering architecture, generating custom video/GIF variations per shared link is highly trivial for us to implement.
We can absolutely add this as an improvement very soon!
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.
Scarlett.
Excited to hunt LiveDemo today.
@LiveDemo helps teams turn product workflows into interactive demos that prospects and users can explore on their own.
Instead of relying on static screenshots, long videos, or repeated sales calls, LiveDemo lets you capture a workflow, add annotations, AI voiceovers, and personalization, then share it across your website, product, or documentation.
What stands out:
Capture any workflow in minutes
Add AI voiceovers and personalized text
Share demos through links, embeds, GIFs, or videos
Track engagement and viewer drop-offs
Capture leads directly from your demos
@byalexai Congrats on the launch. For teams that already use tooltips, walkthroughs, or video tours, what’s the recommended workflow for migrating existing demos into LiveDemo without losing SEO, analytics continuity, or user tracking? Any tips for keeping personalization effective at scale?
LiveDemo
@swati_paliwal
Thanks for the support!
Honestly, migrating is incredibly seamless because LiveDemo.ai functions as an embedded interactive layer rather than a standalone site.
That means there is zero impact on your SEO, you just swap out your old video or iframe player for our lightweight script on your existing pages.
For analytics continuity, we are working on building a feature for sending custom events directly from our tracking layer straight into your existing stack (like PostHog, Segment, or Mixpanel) to keep your historical data intact. It will be available soon.
As for personalization at scale, our API lets you dynamically pass user parameters like company names or first names right into the pre-defined variables of the captured walkthrough, so you can easily run personalized demos programmatically.
