Arcade

Interactive demos

Recorded product walkthroughs with hotspots, callouts and chapters. A published demo is a live asset, so edits appear everywhere it is embedded, and demos use no AI credits.

AI videos and visuals

A video agent turns a prompt, screenshots or product docs into a video styled with your Brand Kit. Videos cost 50 credits per 30 seconds and visuals 50 credits each.

Capture tools

Record with the Chrome extension, the Figma plugin or the desktop app for macOS and Windows, which captures desktop and mobile apps. Camera recording is on every plan.

Branching and personalization

Growth adds demo branching, custom variables that personalize a demo for each viewer, call-to-action buttons and forms.

Voiceover and translation

Synthetic voiceover in multiple languages is included on every plan. AI translations of a demo start on the Growth plan.

Growth adds viewer insights, Audience Reveal and connectors such as HubSpot, Slack and Segment. The native Salesforce integration and data export are Enterprise only.
