My favorite launch videos from last week

I love building products. But ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ videos? Thatโ€™s hard.


So I started studying others.

Here are 7 AI launch videos that nail storytelling and simplicity last week in my opinion:

1. @Higgsfield โ€“ AI video editing shown through clean, iterative results.

2. @Suno โ€“ Their v4.5 launch turns audio into a story. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

3. @Krepling โ€“ Subtle animation shows how checkout tweaks = revenue.

4. @Mitte 1.0 โ€“ Letting the AI character explain the workflow. Genius. ๐Ÿ’ก

5. @Saidar โ€“ Using a prompt as the storyline = brilliant UX.

6. @Snack Prompt โ€“ Multi-tab workflow, anchored by a single โ€œbuttonโ€ click.

7. @Prompter โ€“ No magic tricks, just clean structure and flow.

My own hard lesson:


Nowadays, if people canโ€™t understand your product in 30 seconds, they wonโ€™t try it. ๐—” ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ผ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ.

If you have demo videos you love, please share it with me. ๐Ÿ™

Launching soon!
Indeed getting the videos right is really hard. Many questions pop up -What to include, where to shoot, how much to show in action, editing , length, sun titles and so on. Itโ€™s a long list. I went through that pain recently. And then changed it again based on feedback of @busmark_w_nika and some others (thanks to Nika especially)

@manu_goel2 I am glad people take my feedback into account :D and I am more satisfied when they apply it properly and it brings positive results :)

This is ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” totally agree that the demo video is the new homepage.

What stood out to me in your picks: they all show, not tell. No fluff, just tight storytelling through UI, motion, and micro-interactions.

One thing I learned the hard way: if the first 5 seconds donโ€™t hook without sound, most folks are gone. Now I treat demo videos like a tweet โ€” one clear idea, delivered fast, visually.

Would love to see a future post breaking down why each one worked. The psychology behind great demos is so underrated.

@dustinheaps that is a great point! I will pay more attention to the first 5s from now on. Thanks for the suggestion.
