Demo Mode

Demo Mode lets you explore all of Kasava’s features using pre-populated sample data. It’s the perfect way to understand what Kasava can do before connecting your own repositories.

What is Demo Mode?

Demo Mode provides a complete, interactive experience with a sample e-commerce platform called ShopFlow. This fictional project demonstrates all of Kasava’s capabilities with realistic data:

Sample Product - A fully configured product with linked repositories
Demo Dashboard - Work items, recent updates, and quick stats
Sample Bug Reports - Pre-analyzed bug submissions with AI insights
Demo Plans - Product Requirements Documents with AI enhancements
Sample Chat Threads - Example AI conversations about the codebase
Demo Integrations - Simulated GitHub, Linear, Jira, and Asana activity
Sample Workflows - CI/CD, testing, and monitoring configurations
Demo Documentation - Automated documentation updates
Sample Roadmap - Product planning and timeline views

In Demo Mode, all data is read-only. You can explore and interact with the interface, but changes won’t be saved. This prevents accidental modifications to sample data.

Enabling Demo Mode

You can toggle Demo Mode on or off at any time using the switch in the sidebar:

Find the Toggle

Look for the Demo Mode toggle at the bottom of the sidebar, near your user profile

Enable or Disable

Click the switch to turn Demo Mode on (shows sample data) or off (shows your real data)

During Onboarding

When you first sign up for Kasava, Demo Mode is enabled automatically after completing onboarding:

Your account is configured with demo data
You’re redirected to the dashboard with a welcome dialog
The welcome dialog shows quick links to explore different features

Welcome dialog showing explore options for My Work, Products, Plans, and AI Chat

If you want to explore without completing full onboarding:

Start Onboarding

Begin the standard onboarding flow

Skip to Demo

Look for the “Skip to Demo” option during onboarding to immediately enter Demo Mode

Explore Features

You’ll be taken to the dashboard with sample data loaded

If you skip onboarding to explore demo mode, you’ll need to complete onboarding later to connect your real repositories. The demo banner will prompt you to “Resume Onboarding” when you’re ready.

Demo Mode Indicator

When Demo Mode is active, you’ll see a yellow banner at the top of the application:

Demo Mode Active banner with indicator and action buttons

The banner displays:

“Demo Mode Active” label with an eye icon
“Changes are simulated and not saved” message (when navigating away from dashboard)
Restart Tour button - Replay the guided demo tour
Exit Demo button - Exit demo mode to see your real data

If you skipped onboarding:

The banner shows “Complete onboarding to access your real data”
A Resume Onboarding button replaces Restart Tour

Clicking the X button in the demo mode banner
Clicking “Exit Demo” in the banner

If you haven’t connected repositories yet, you’ll be prompted to complete onboarding when exiting Demo Mode.

When Demo Mode is off, only your real connected data will be visible. Turn Demo Mode back on anytime using the sidebar toggle to see the sample ShopFlow project again.

Limitations

While Demo Mode is comprehensive, some features behave differently:

Feature	Demo Mode Behavior
Creating items	Simulated (not saved)
Editing content	Simulated (not saved)
Indexing repositories	Not available
Platform sync	Shows cached demo data
AI chat	Uses sample conversations
Bug recording	Not available
Webhooks	Not triggered

Completing Onboarding

When you’re ready to use Kasava with your real projects:

Exit Demo Mode or Resume Onboarding

Click “Exit Demo” in the banner, or “Resume Onboarding” if you skipped the initial setup

Connect GitHub

Install the Kasava GitHub App to access your repositories

Create a Product

Set up your first product and link repositories to it

Configure Integrations

Optionally connect Linear, Jira, Asana, or other platforms

Demo Mode is great for onboarding team members. Have them explore in Demo Mode first to understand the interface before connecting real projects.
