You record a flow once, ship it, and then the product changes — a new screen, a renamed button, a different onboarding step — and your shiny demo is quietly lying to every prospect who clicks it. So you go back into the tool and re-record. Again.</p> <p><a href="https://www.inklyai.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer">Inkly</a> takes a different approach. Instead of capturing screenshots inside a tool you don't control, your own AI coding agent — Claude, Codex, Cursor, whatever you already use — builds the demo from your real product. That has two nice consequences:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>It's accurate</strong>, because it's generated from the actual app, not a hand-stitched mockup.</li> <li> <strong>You own it as code</strong>, living in your own git repo like any other part of your stack. Your team can branch, review, and ship demos the same way they ship features.</li> </ul> <p>The workflow is build → update → measure:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Build</strong> — drop in a URL and capture with AI, or record a flow with the Chrome extension. Screenshot, HTML, and sandbox formats are all supported.</li> <li> <strong>Update</strong> — when something changes, you tell the agent in plain language ("fix the dashboard screen") instead of re-recording the whole thing.</li> <li> <strong>Personalize</strong> — rebuild a tailored demo per prospect (industry, use case, data) from the real product, not a find-and-replace.</li> <li> <strong>Measure</strong> — share one link or embed it anywhere, then track views, clicks, completion, and per-screen drop-off, with a built-in lead-capture form.</li> </ul> <p>There's also a no-code editor for manual polish, AI voiceovers, and local preview before you publish — and you don't need a coding agent at all if you'd rather just use the editor.</p> <p>Pricing is simple: a 15-day free trial, then a flat $50/month with everything included. There's also a managed tier where a sales-engineer AI agent builds and maintains demos for you.</p> <p>If your demos keep going stale the moment you ship, it's worth a look: <strong><a href="https://www.inklyai.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.inklyai.dev</a></strong></p> ai saas startup devtools
