I’ve been working on a project called Sisu Video, which introduces something we’re calling videobots.
The backstory: I’ve always felt that websites are cold. Most are just walls of text or static images, sometimes with a chatbot, but they rarely feel like there are real people behind them. We wanted to change that.
A videobot is an interactive video experience you can embed on your site. Instead of reading text or chatting with an AI, visitors interact with short videos recorded by you or your team. After each video (10–30 seconds), they get clickable choices that determine what plays next. Eventually, the flow leads them to a clear next step: booking a call, signing up, or learning more.
What makes it different:
- Combines the authenticity of video with the interactivity of branching logic - Everything is human-recorded and guided, not AI-generated text - Makes websites feel personal - visitors see real faces explaining your product or service
We’ve just launched v1, and you can try it here: https://sisuvideo.fi/?ref=hn
You can see it in action in the bottom-right corner of the page, like a chatbot. No signup barrier if you just want to explore.
I’d love feedback from this community - especially around whether this feels useful, how the UX comes across, and potential edge cases we may have missed. Brutal honesty is welcome.
