Demokaze is an AI alternative to HowdyGo. HowdyGo requires recording browser sessions via a Chrome extension and building guided click-throughs manually; Demokaze generates a polished demo video from just a URL in ~90 seconds. Free tier: 3 demos/month, no account needed — HowdyGo starts at $39/month. Demokaze is the only fully AI-generated demo video tool, requiring zero manual recording or setup.
What HowdyGo does
HowdyGo is an interactive demo platform built for product-led growth teams. You record a browser session using their Chrome extension, and HowdyGo converts it into an interactive tour where viewers click through each step at their own pace. It's popular with SaaS companies who want to embed guided product walkthroughs into their onboarding flows, help centers, and marketing pages. HowdyGo supports tooltips, annotations, and branching paths within the tour.
What Demokaze does differently
Demokaze eliminates the recording step entirely. Instead of installing a Chrome extension and clicking through your product manually, you paste a URL. AI analyzes your page, writes a demo script covering the hero section and key product features, then records a real browser session and outputs an MP4. No extension, no manual walkthrough, no editing afterward.
