Changelog

Start with a Clearer Demo Plan

• Teams can use ChatGPT to shape an early product demo idea before recording
• The workflow helps clarify who the demo is for, what it should show, and how the story should be framed
• The goal is to reduce blank-page work before opening MaybeUndo

Keep Recording in MaybeUndo

• ChatGPT helps with planning, not screen recording
• Recording and editing continue to happen in MaybeUndo
• This keeps the demo creation process aligned with the product experience teams already use

Account-Based Connection

• The connection is designed around a user's MaybeUndo account
• Users review permissions before connecting
• Demo work stays tied to the right MaybeUndo workspace

A Simpler Handoff from Chat to Demo

• The integration is meant to make it easier to move from conversation to demo creation
• Users can start with a prompt, refine the direction, and continue in MaybeUndo
• The focus is on practical product storytelling, not replacing the recording workflow

Claude Can Work from Canonical MaybeUndo Context

• Claude is designed to connect to MaybeUndo through a remote MCP server instead of relying on pasted prompts, notes, and exports
• This gives Claude direct access to the same Story Demo Brief structure your team already uses inside the product
• The goal is simple: less manual context switching, less narrative drift, and more useful AI actions

Story Demo Briefs Become the Source of Truth

• The integration treats the Story Demo Brief as the primary narrative object
• Claude can work from core story context like audience, goal, problem, tone, scenes, and script context
• That keeps demos, videos, presentations, and follow-up materials aligned to the same story system

Narrow MCP Tools Instead of Broad Agent Access

• The MCP layer is built around typed tools for specific jobs such as creating briefs, reading briefs, generating scripts, listing assets, and creating AI demos
• Each tool has a defined input and output shape so responses stay predictable for both users and AI systems
• This approach is more reliable than giving an agent broad access without structure

OAuth, Scoped Permissions, and Ownership Checks

• Every Claude connection maps to a real MaybeUndo user through OAuth
• Permissions stay scoped to the tool and object being accessed
• Server-side ownership checks and audit logging help preserve the same control boundaries already enforced in the MaybeUndo app

Export Story Demo Briefs to PDF

Story Demo Briefs can now be exported as clean, shareable PDFs. Teams can review narrative direction, messaging, brand guidance, script context, and scene planning without needing to stay inside the editor.

Upload Videos into the Story Editor Timeline

You can now upload videos directly into the Story Editor and add them as new scenes in your timeline. Uploads go straight to storage, process in the background, and appear in the editor once they are ready.

Reliable Demo Share Link Routing

• Fixed share demo link routing so `/demo/share/:token` is now served by the backend instead of the frontend SPA
• Shared demo links now return server-rendered HTML with metadata on the first request
• Eliminates cases where previews failed because bots were hitting the client-only app shell
• Share demo links now behave consistently across environments and platforms

Preview Demo Support for Slack and X

• Shared demos now generate rich previews when pasted into Slack and X
• Open Graph and Twitter metadata is included directly in the initial HTML response
• Titles, descriptions, and preview images are now visible without requiring JavaScript
• Public links are optimized for distribution and visibility across platforms

Public and Private Demo Links

• Added support for both public and private demo links
• Public demo links are open and optimized for sharing with previews
• Private demo links support invite-only access with approved-email verification
• Only invited viewers can access private demos, even if the link is forwarded
• Makes it easy to switch between broad sharing and controlled access

Preview Images for Shared Demos

• Shared demo links now include preview images that display across Slack and X
• Replaced missing or inconsistent previews with a reliable image for every shared link
• Ensures images meet platform requirements (large, accessible, and publicly available)
• Lays the groundwork for demo-specific preview images in upcoming updates

Focused Timeline Views

• Added a timeline filter beside Play so you can quickly switch between `Timeline All`, `Display Video`, `Display Hotspot`, and `Display Voice`
• Makes it easier to focus on one editing lane at a time without losing your place in the full project
• Hotspot timing bars now follow the same visual language as the main video bars for a more consistent editing experience

Cleaner Hotspot Editing

• Dot hotspots now render more cleanly, without the extra tinted box behind them
• Hotspot timeline bars now surface a short preview of the related callout text directly inside the bar
• Creating a new hotspot now keeps it selected and returns focus to its timeline position, so duration adjustments are easier right away
• The hotspot build panel is more compact while still keeping the ordered hotspot flow visible

Hotspot AI Writing

• You can rewrite hotspot guidance from inside the builder with a docked AI prompt instead of leaving the panel
• The toolbar hotspot prompt now includes AI generation on `Generate Text`, so it can turn a short instruction into cleaner hotspot copy in place
• This makes it faster to refine guided demos while staying in the same editing context

More Compact Editor Controls

• Reduced extra toolbar and timeline text so more space stays available for the actual edit surface
• Replaced the larger hotspot build counter label with a smaller neutral badge next to the icon
• Removed extra timeline headings where they were not adding useful information
• Minimized hotspot prompts are easier to reopen because the summary text itself can expand the prompt

Cleaner Timeline

• Simplified the timeline so the bars feel lighter and easier to read
• Kept the focus on the actual video, slide, and voice timing
• Updated hotspot timing rows to use the editor's indigo accent instead of the older yellow highlight

Easier Trim and Move

• Video, slide, and voice bars now feel more direct to edit
• Drag the center to move a bar, or drag the edges to trim it
• Hover states make it clearer where to grab without adding noise when you are not editing

Better Time Feedback

• The playback marker returns while your demo is playing, so it is easier to track progress live
• Added timeline zoom controls so you can fit everything in view or zoom in for detail
• Press the spacebar to play or pause while editing
• Press Delete or Backspace to remove a selected Video, Voice or Slide Bar

A More Focused Editor Layout

• Improved the editor layout so panels behave better as the browser resizes
• Reduced vertical header space to keep more of the working area visible
• Updated supporting surfaces like callout drafts and side panels to better match the editor theme
