February delivered powerful updates designed to streamline your workflow and give you more control over your content.
This month introduces new ways to capture product interactions, expand what AI Mode can do for you, and protect sensitive demo experiences.
From recording video screens directly in Walnut to securing playlists with access codes, these updates help teams build faster, collaborate more confidently, and deliver polished demo experiences without extra tools.
Here’s what we shipped this month 👇
Video Screen Recording: Capture Product Moments Instantly
Creating realistic demos often requires capturing dynamic product interactions like drag-and-drop flows, loading states, or animations. Until now, this required external recording tools and manual uploads.
With the new Video Screen Recording capability, you can record interactions directly from the Walnut extension and automatically insert them into your demo templates as video screens.
What you can do:
- One-click recording directly from the Walnut extension
- Automatically insert videos into demo templates as screens
- Trim recordings to highlight the exact interaction you want
- Capture complex workflows that static screenshots can’t show
The result: a streamlined creation workflow that keeps everything inside Walnut. No third-party recording tools. No manual uploads. No formatting headaches.
AI Mode Gets Even Smarter
AI Mode continues to evolve as your creative partner inside Walnut. This month introduces new capabilities that allow you to refine demos even faster through natural conversation.
What’s new:
- Edit and refine guide step text directly through AI chat
- Reposition guide steps using natural language instructions
- Swap logos and images instantly across screens
- Performance improvements for faster and more reliable editing
The result: less manual editing and faster storytelling. AI Mode continues to move more of the demo creation workflow into a single conversational experience.
Access Codes for Playlists & Deal Rooms
Sometimes demos contain sensitive content meant only for specific prospects or internal audiences. Now you can protect Playlists and Deal Rooms with custom access codes before viewers can explore the content.
What’s new:
- Require access codes before viewers can open playlists or deal rooms
- Create custom codes across demos, playlists, and deal rooms
- Smart gating logic prevents duplicate prompts when both playlist and demos are protected
The result: share sensitive demos confidently while maintaining full control over who can access your content.
💡 Beta Spotlight: Demo Sessions API
Want to bring your demo engagement data into your own dashboards or analytics tools?
We’re currently testing a Demo Sessions API that gives teams programmatic access to demo engagement data. This enables deeper analysis, custom reporting, and integrations with BI platforms.
With the API, teams can:
- Build custom demo analytics dashboards
- Integrate engagement data into existing BI tools
- Analyze demo performance alongside revenue and pipeline metrics
The February Theme: Capture, Create, and Control
This month’s updates focus on giving teams more control over how they create and share demo experiences.
1️⃣ Capture dynamic product interactions with built-in video recording
2️⃣ Build and refine demos faster with smarter AI Mode tools
3️⃣ Protect playlists and deal rooms with custom access codes
The result: faster demo creation, stronger storytelling, and more control over who experiences your content.
