What is Preface?

Preface turns screenshots of your product into guided, interactive walkthroughs. You capture your product screens, add annotations and voiceover, and share a link — your viewer gets a polished, self-serve demo they can explore at their own pace.

Unlike screen recordings, Preface demos are:

  • Interactive — viewers click through steps at their own pace
  • Narrated — AI-generated or custom voiceover guides viewers through each step
  • Trackable — see who viewed your demo and capture leads through the gate form
  • Branded — match your company's colours, logo, and fonts throughout

How it compares

Preface is purpose-built for interactive product demos. Unlike:

  • Screen recorders (Loom, etc.) — Preface demos are interactive and don't require a camera or microphone
  • Presentation tools (Keynote, PowerPoint) — Preface is designed for sharing links, not slide decks
  • Full interactive demo platforms — Preface is simpler, faster to set up, and doesn't require engineering access to your live product
