Slideshot turns product demo video creation into an agent task. You describe the flow you want to show; the agent drives your web app autonomously through MCP, records the walkthrough, and returns a polished video plus GIF — complete with zoom effects, cursor motion, and a custom intro animation.
## How it works
Slideshot connects to any MCP-capable agent — Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT. The agent navigates your live web app the way a human demo-er would, clicking through the flow you specified. Slideshot captures the session and post-processes it into a clean asset: zooms on the important UI, smooth cursor movement, intro animation. Output is a video and a GIF, ready to drop into a landing page or release note.
## The pricing
Usage-based — you pay only for the videos you generate. No subscription floor, which fits the bursty nature of demo production: you make a batch when you ship a feature, then nothing for weeks.
## Why it matters
Product demo videos have been a manual chore — record your screen, re-record when you fumble, edit in a video tool, add zooms by hand. Slideshot collapses that into a prompt. The MCP angle is the clever part: instead of a separate scripting language, it reuses the same agent that already knows how to drive a browser. Demo video becomes a side effect of having a capable agent.
