Guides

Built with AI

• Can Claude run Roomi for you? Everything you can do without opening the app: Connect Claude once, then ask it to deploy, make links, run the room and the pipeline, and draft the follow-up, on your own Claude plan. Nothing changes without your yes.
• How do you host an app you built with Claude Code?: Claude Code builds the app on your machine. Where to host it for free, what each host allows, and how to send it to a client on a private link instead.
• How do you make a Claude artifact private, and send it to one client?: Who can open a shared Claude artifact, plan by plan, how to stop sharing one, and how to send one privately to a client who doesn’t use Claude.
• How do you share a Bolt project with a client?: Bolt’s share links show your code to people signed in to Bolt, and private sites need a paid plan. How to give a client their own link to the working app.
• How do you share a Replit app with someone who isn’t on Replit?: Replit’s private apps ask every visitor to sign in, and a password works without an account. When each fits a client, and when a room with their own link does.
• How do you share a v0 project with a client?: v0 shares chats and publishes apps to Vercel. How to put your v0 app in front of a client privately, with a tour, and see what they did.
• How do you show a Cursor project to a non-technical client?: A repository or a localhost link means nothing to a client. How to turn a Cursor project into a working demo with a tour, on a link of their own.
• How do you swap real data for mock data in a demo built with AI?: Four ways to give an AI-built demo its own data, and how to ask your AI agent for each. Make it look like the client’s world, with nothing real in it.
• I built a prototype with AI. How do I make it real?: You built it with Claude, Lovable, Bolt or v0. Make it real for a client first, then decide whether to harden it, rebuild it or drop it.
• Is it safe to send a client a link to an app you built with AI? A checklist: Eleven checks before an app built with Claude, Lovable or Bolt goes to a client: data, keys, backends, links, and what to tell them.

Showing the work

• How do you send a working demo instead of a pitch deck?: Swap the slides for the real thing: trim a demo to what matters, write a short tour, send one link per person and follow up on what they did.

Alternatives

• What are the best Loom alternatives for product demos?: Loom records a walkthrough. These tools let a prospect click through the product, or use the live app. What each costs, and what each tells you about viewers.
• What are the best Storylane and Navattic alternatives when you have the real app?: Storylane and Navattic capture your product. If you already have a working app, here are six options compared, with prices and how each is billed.

Best of

• How can you share a Claude artifact with a client who doesn’t use Claude?: Claude’s apps ask viewers to sign in; a Claude Code public link does not. Five ways to send an artifact to a client, ranked on privacy, effort and what you learn.

Pitching

• Should an agency bring a working prototype to a pitch, not just a deck?: A prototype lets the panel use your idea and travels to people who missed the meeting. When to bring one, how much to build, and what you learn before the decision.
• How do you pitch a website to a client?: Show the client their own site, working and better, on their phone. How to build the pitch, walk them through it, and send it to the people who decide.
• How do you pitch an idea to a client?: Show the client their problem solved, ask for one small next step, and send it so they can show colleagues. A pitch structure, and which format to use.

Templates

• What should a demo tour script say? A template: A copyable template for a self-guided demo tour: three to six steps, what each says and the screen it opens, with a worked example.
• What should your follow-up email say after you send a demo? Templates: Copyable emails for sending a demo, nudging someone who has not opened it, and following up on what they did, each with one next step.

Definitions

• Prototype vs MVP vs proof of concept: what is the difference?: A proof of concept shows it can work, a prototype shows what using it is like, and an MVP is used by real customers. When you need each, and how to share it.
• What is a Claude artifact, and who can see it?: What Claude artifacts are, the kinds there are since September 2026, who can open one when you share it, and how to show one to someone without Claude.
