Description
I was looking for a tool to create interactive demos / walkthroughs for web based software. I was amazed that many companies charge well over $1000 per month for something pretty basic.I made this which so far works well for me. You can point it at a site and either let AI (byo OpenAI or Anthropic keys) record and polish the whole thing or do it manually yourself (or a mixture of both).Here is an example interactive demo:https://runnit.io/demos/i-want-you-to-create-a-demo-of-from-...Disclaimer: This is a tool which works for me and may work for you, it's not production grade software, use at your own risk. Extend it, fork it, sell it, it's up to you.

Could you build this?
Yes Capturing browser interactions, recording DOM elements, and using LLMs to generate walkthrough guides and interactive overlays can be rapidly vibe-coded using modern web frameworks and extension APIs.
