In simple English
This tool creates professional software demo videos automatically. You write a script using Playwright, a tool that controls web browsers. You add a list of scenes and text descriptions. The program records your website in action and speaks the script using artificial intelligence. You get a ready-to-share MP4 video with captions, backgrounds, and smooth transitions.
