# Record a demo without piling up test data

> Yes. Tella's Auto Capture records with a demo account and follows what you say may change on it. Before each run, it undoes what earlier runs saved. It stops and asks before a change it can't undo, like sending an email, and tells you what's still changed when the take arrives.

## Can an AI record a demo that creates records in my app without piling up test data or sending emails?

Yes. Tella's [Auto Capture](https://www.tella.com/auto-capture) records with a demo account and follows what you say may change on it. Before each run, it undoes what earlier runs saved. It stops and asks before a change it can't undo, like sending an email, and tells you what's still changed when the take arrives.

## Prompt to start from

```text
Use Tella Auto Capture to record a demo of https://app.example.com: create a project called "Spring launch", add two tasks, and end on the project page. Use the "Demo account" credential. Don't send invites or emails. Delete the project afterwards.
```

## More prompts

### B2B invoicing app

```text
Record a how-to at https://app.example.com/invoices: create an invoice for "Maple Street Bakery" with two line items and a 10% discount, then stop on the customer preview. Use the "Billing sandbox" credential. Don't click Send.
```

### Recruiting software

```text
Make a 60-second demo for hiring managers at https://app.example.com/jobs: in "Product Designer", move "Sam Rivera" from Screening to Interview and end on the pipeline. Use the "Recruiter demo" credential. Don't email Sam. Move Sam back afterwards.
```

## How to do it in Tella

1. Save a demo account login under [Settings → Credentials](https://www.tella.tv/settings/credentials).
2. Ask the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) for a take with the URL, credential and allowed changes.
3. If the take stops at a one-way action, say how to get around it.
4. Read the handoff note for leftover changes, then edit the take.

## Good to know

- Closed beta on paid plans: email support@tella.com for access. Each take uses your workspace's credits, the same balance the Tella Agent spends.
- Every check saves changes too, not only the recording. Use an account where repeating them is fine.
- Use sample data, not customer data. Anything the account can see may end up in the video.

## Questions people ask

### Can I do this from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Connect [Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/tella), [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a7026f78434819186579d93d20ab38b?open_in_app) or another AI app to Tella's [MCP server](https://www.tella.com/mcp) and ask it to record the page with the URL and allowed changes. It starts the take and tells you what's left changed.

### What if I don't say what may change on the account?

The Tella Agent or your AI app should ask you before a take that saves something. Tella's Auto Capture still asks before any change it can't undo.

### Can I fix a take without starting over?

Yes. Ask the Tella Agent or your AI app to revise the take, such as stopping before the Send button. Tella keeps the rest of the script and delivers a new take, usually faster than starting over.
