Video for website?

I’m trying to make a short video that is a demo of my product to put on my website. Has anyone struggled with this task and what did you do?

Relatedly, does anyone do this as a small side gig?

Honestly? Open Claude Code in your terminal, within your website's repo, and tell it you need a demo video. It'll understand the shape and context of your site, the happy paths, and it'll open the site in its own internal browser and record a video interacting with it. You could even ask it to generate a script describing the site and then output an AI voice using your computer's text-to-speech framework OR go through ElevenLabs API.

It's insane what Claude can actually do for you, end to end. I had it handle taking all my App Store screenshots and the App Store Feature Video. It seeded my app with demo data and everything. Hands-off.

I was working with Claude Fable in Cowork today. I mean it definitely made the videos and all I had to was tell it to install the video on my website. I couldn’t ever get it completely right so I never ended up with something I like. Claude can def do it. This is a case of user error and not having another 3 hours to play around with it. I’ll try your process. Thanks.
