How does an AI demo agent stay accurate when the product changes?
Short answer: Captured demos go stale when the interface changes and have to be re-captured. Agents that operate the real product always show the current interface, but what they know about it has to be refreshed: some vendors rebuild it by hand, some re-learn the product on a schedule, and Karumi says it does so continuously.

Two things go stale
The view of the product. A captured tour shows the interface as it was when someone recorded it. After a redesign it shows screens that no longer exist, until someone re-captures them.
What the agent knows. Pricing, plans, integrations and policies change without any change to the interface. An agent answering from last quarter's docs gives last quarter's answers, whatever kind of demo it runs.
How each kind of agent keeps up
Captured demos are rebuilt by hand when the product changes.
Sandboxes and prepared environments need their data and configuration maintained alongside the product.
Agents on the real product always show the current interface, but what they learned about navigating it has to be refreshed. Some vendors rebuild that by hand, some re-learn the product on a schedule, and Karumi says it does so continuously. Among demo platforms, Walnut says its AI maintains every demo, and TestBox says it can auto-maintain environments.
What to ask a vendor
After a redesign. What happens the week after we ship one? Who notices, who updates the demo, and how long does the agent show the old flow?
Written knowledge. Where does the agent's product knowledge come from, and how do we update it when pricing or plans change?
Coverage. Can we see which parts of the product the agent currently demos?
When scheduled re-crawls are on for your site (the Floe team sets this up), Floe re-explores your product nightly or weekly and updates the demo agent's guides, so you do not rebuild demo scripts or captured tours when screens change.
Written content you add or change needs a re-run of ingestion, and facts your docs do not cover, such as pricing, go in Reference Guides.
