Recorded Live Demos Are Hard to Get Right - Suite Resources is Going to Fix This
Dave Weiss · September 14, 2026 · 3 min read
Writing and recording product demos is painful for a few reasons:
- "Winging it" definitely does not work. I designed all the apps that we've created here at SuiteResources using AI Application Manager. I know the features intimately. It doesn't matter. I'll forget to mention a feature, which makes me stop to regroup mid-demo.
- Scripting a demo properly takes time. You have to plan the demo script out methodically and match it up to what you're showing on the screen. It's orchestration that I really don't have the time for.
- I'll finish a 1/2 way decent demo video, then I'll inevitably come up with additional features that need to be added to the product. Now we are in a vicious, never ending cycle of creating demo video versions.
I really wanted to fix this painful process... So I did.
How?
First, because AI Application Manager is well designed and highly documented, an AI coding agent like Claude Code fully understands absolutely every feature and function within the platform, SDK, and every application created by the platform.
Next, we create automated tests for those features and functions to make sure they work, and more importantly, continue to work as we make changes to them. Initially, the automated tests were for the behind-the-scene things, like making sure database records are created, updated, or deleted properly when the application sends the requests to the database that holds the data. This is really helpful, and honestly, this process should be done in any good dev/ops playbook.
What we left out of the testing process was the creation of tests for each application user interface (UI). I've seen Claude Code launch a browser window to test front-end code, so I assumed we could do that same sort of thing across an entire application and have that browser session recorded. We could write specific browser tests for Claude to run, and we would at least be able to get the video part of the demo automated.
Claude and I just finished testing the concept we came up with, and it works amazingly well. Now, we have to get the pacing right and get the audio script sync'd up to the video. I may even have Steven Weiss write some custom music for the video.
This is whole AI journey has been an incredible experience, but I really think we're just getting started.
Here is the very short test video that verifies our whole concept:
