Why teams choose Supademo for interactive demos

“Route Hub is like a DAP with a plus, a showcase within a hub that has its own tabs, and you can brand it.”
“The automated step copy using AI is fantastic, as are the voice capabilities, including cloning. The Chrome extension is impressively easy to use, offering interactive demos, videos, and screenshots all in one tool. I haven't seen that in other tools.”
“We can translate our own voice, clone our own voice as well, which we've done for a few languages. It sounds super natural. Our customers have the idea that they're listening to their customer engagement specialist while watching the video.”

Can Supademo do in-app flows and tooltips like Appcues?
