When I pointed it at demo generation instead, it worked well enough that I think you should try the same thing with something on your own plate. I created this hands-on tutorial to help you get started. And one more thing: You don't need to be a developer to do this. We've seen an increase in interest from non-engineering roles in using GitLab to run agentic workflows like this one. If that's you, follow along to get started.In this article:Why click-through demos are so effectiveThe evolution: From VMs to external demo tools to agentsThe stages to create a demoHow the demo generator worksDemos are now in codeHow GitLab Duo Agent Platform made this possibleBuild your first agent🎯 Try GitLab Duo Agent Platform today!Why click-through demos are so effectivePeople connect faster when they see a feature in action rather than read about it. But live demos are hard: You need product access and enough familiarity to navigate confidently.A click-through demo solves that. You take real actions yourself, guided by a short narrative at each step. Unlike video, it puts you in control of the pace. And unlike live …
