Feedback about product idea targeted at SaaS owners - POC inside!

Hi folks,
In the last few weeks I’ve been working on a platform targeted at web-app creators, to help them create a live-demo of their web-app in no time. This is so they can show customers the value of their own web-app right from the landing-page, with no registration or free-trial commitment.

*** What problem are you solving? ***
You developed a web-app with cool features that you believe provides great value to potential customers.
However, when potential users go to your landing-page, all they see is sentences like:
“Revolutionize your customer service operations using AI”
“Increase sales and conversions using our advanced analytics tools”
“Power your eCommerce/SaaS/business with buzzword”

The average landing-page visit to free-trial conversion rate is an abysmal 12%. Users aren’t even ready to commit for a free trial (afraid of giving away personal information, not convinced enough…). Can we improve that?

*** Our goal ***
Allow potential users to actually play with your web-app with no commitment right from the landing page. This would convey the idea of your app better than any amount of screenshots, videos, or text ever could.

*** The solution ***
Our solution is a platform that lets you create a live-demo of your web-app in no time. The live-demo will include:
All web-app features (showcased on demo data that you add to your app)
Optional. Guided feature-tours
Conversion analytics dashboard (so you can see how many users the demo convinced to sign up for you web-app)

*** Example ***
Plutio is a platform for freelancers to organize their tasks, proposals and all financial matters, all in one, convenient dashboard. This is what their landing page looks like:
https://www.plutio.com/

They show some pictures and a video of their product, but as a user you still don’t know how this whole deal is going to feel. You want to give it a try! It’s much easier with a live-demo (click the LIVE DEMO button):

*** So what do you think? ***
Would you use a service like this to build a demo for your own web-app?
If you don’t have a demo already for your web-app, what’s been stopping you from making one?
Other features you would have liked to see in the demo?

If you see any use-case for a live-demo in your app (for advertising, conversion, or otherwise), do not hesitate to contact us. We want to build the product around customers’ real needs.

Thanks in advance :)
