Prep for a call from a product demo video
Vendor sent a demo link. Extract features, pricing hints, limitations, and questions to ask — before the meeting.
What's the problem?
Most people still leave chat to watch, scrub, and paste notes by hand. Here's the shift.
| Before | After Tubask |
|---|---|
| You watch 40 minutes the night before, forget half of it, and walk in underprepared. | Paste the demo URL. Get a structured prep doc in 2 minutes — features, caveats, and smart questions. |
How to do it
Three steps. Works in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client connected to Tubask.
- 1
Paste the demo or webinar link
Works on product demos, SaaS walkthroughs, and conference vendor sessions.
- 2
Request a prep-oriented structure
Ask for features demonstrated, claimed benefits, limitations mentioned, and what's left unclear.
- 3
Generate questions for the call
End with "what should I ask them that the video didn't answer?"
