Slideshot

What is Slideshot?

Slideshot is an AI-powered tool that automatically records product demo videos. Instead of manually capturing your screen and editing the footage, you describe the feature flow you want to show. Slideshot then drives your web app through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), records the walkthrough, and returns a polished MP4 video with zooms, cursor motion, and a custom intro animation. The result is a launch-ready asset generated from a single prompt.

Who it's for

• Product managers who need to produce launch walkthroughs and changelog videos without re-recording every time the UI changes.
• Developer experience teams who want to generate demo assets programmatically via an API, integrating video creation into automated workflows.
• Marketing and enablement teams who require consistent, brand-aligned product tours for sales decks, onboarding materials, and social posts.

Key features

Agent-driven recording

You provide a product URL and a written brief of the steps to show. Slideshot executes the flow in a browser, including authenticated areas when credentials are configured. No manual screen recording is needed.

Polished output with effects

The returned MP4 includes automatic zooms, cursor motion, and a custom intro animation. These effects help viewers follow the flow without you spending time on manual editing.

API-first design

Slideshot exposes a REST API that lets you trigger recordings from agents, CI/CD pipelines, or automation tools. You send a POST request with the target URL and goal, then poll for the finished video artifact.

Pay-per-use pricing

Each recording request costs $0.90 with no monthly subscription or seat fees. You only pay for what you use, making it practical for teams that need occasional or high-volume demo generation.

What stands out

"Slideshot is not another screen recorder. It is a repeatable way to turn a product flow into a usable launch asset."

This distinction is central to the product's value. Traditional screen recorders require you to capture, trim, add effects, and export every time. Slideshot treats demo creation as an automated process: describe the flow once, generate the asset, and regenerate it easily when your product changes. The API and agent-driven approach make it practical to keep demo videos current without manual effort.

Worth checking out if…

You regularly produce product walkthroughs for launches, changelogs, or enablement and want to eliminate the manual recording and editing cycle. It is especially useful if your UI changes frequently, because re-generating a video costs the same as the first request. Slideshot also fits teams that prefer automation over manual tools, as the API allows integration with existing workflows and agent systems.
