Seems like the live demo is bear hugged - been waiting for ~5 minutes now. A bit ironic given their landing page: Don’t make your prospects wait–ever again
In its current iteration this demo might net discourage your future clients rather than encourage them.
I like the idea in general as an alternative to needing to book with a BDE. I'd always prefer to just self serve for a new product; anything that gates my time (sales calls, popover walkthroughs, etc) is something I'd prefer to skip. But I know non-engineering customers really love these calls to see the power of a new platform. I wonder if they'll be as engaged during an AI walkthrough versus when there's a person on the other end of the phone.
the speech gets cut off. i asked it to click on a specific section and it said it couldn't show me as it wasn't a live demo. then kept trying to ask questions i didn't want to answer yet.
finally, i kept asking it to show me whatever it needs to show me to get to the point and it was like "have a nice day" and ended the call LOL.
I can use the scrub bar to skip around, make it faster or slower. An AI agent for this purpose is pretty close to a scripted demo and so this gives you sort of the worst of both worlds: it almost like a video but you can't skip around, it's almost like a demo but you are talking to a brainless robot.
I think your business model is probably in making it easier for people to generate demo videos. That would be more useful. I've created those, and it's challenging.
> Don’t make your prospects wait–ever again
> [...] where prospects receive personalized demos, in a video call, instantly.
Demo:
> We are preparing the demo for you...
> Setting up your experience...
> We are experiencing very high demand
> Almost there...
It spins for... well I don't know because I gave up and navigated away after about 60 seconds.
I'm not super sure what architecture is in use that means that 16 minutes of being on the HN frontpage leaves it stalling out and unable to respond to requests after 60 seconds, but... it doesn't feel connected with the homepage messaging.
I absolutely appreciate (and have been subject to!) the HN traffic influx before, but for the nature of the product, when doing an _intentional_ Launch HN (not posted by someone else), it's fairly confidence-eroding to see the architecture fail to handle it in this way.
Really hoping that it's something transient and one-time that can be fixed – but surprised that there exist loading screens for this situation.

that said, it's impressive what is there.
oh very interesting! can you tell me the email you entered so I can investigate?
this is so freaking cool; it's the coolest demo i've tried this year and that's a high bar
congrats on the launch and i'll definitely be telling my new company (https://natural.co) about you guys!
thank you!!!
This is incredibly cool - almost feels uncanny valley territory. Really well done!
i was actually impressed with the voice and understanding - good work
thank you!!
To be honest, I think a video would be better.

Hi thank you for testing! try now! we have a massive load coming from Product Hunt!
[dead]
You made me wait. I’d rather schedule a demo. Waste of time reading a bunch of “almost there” messages.
Hi thank you! more than 80k demos in the same minute! try now!
