Automated webinar software is feature-rich but the UX is universally terrible

Better automated webinar software. The existing solutions are good feature-wise but the UX is awful. This space needs serious innovation.

I've tried GoToWebinar, WebinarJam, EverWebinar, Demio — they all feel like they were designed in 2012 and never updated. The setup flow is 47 steps, the attendee experience is clunky, and the analytics dashboards look like they were built by someone who's never seen a modern SaaS product.

The worst part: automated/evergreen webinars (pre-recorded but delivered as if live) are the highest-converting sales tool for info products, but the tools to run them are so bad that people just use Zoom and record manually.

Someone who builds a clean, modern, Stripe-quality webinar platform would clean up.

Hot take: webinars are dying. The format is a relic of the pre-Loom, pre-async era. What people actually want is short-form video with interactive elements (polls, CTAs, branching) that viewers watch on their own time. The "webinar replacement" that wins will look more like Instagram Stories for B2B than Zoom.
