Potion Reviews

Great app overall, but here is my honest review with some areas for improvement:

1. The page layout, including the video, needs to be more robust. A wider layout is needed. It's great that there is an HTML element and a widget for the calendar, but if a calendar other than Calendly is used, it's not intuitive. An annoying aspect is that even when embedding Calendly, users have to scroll to see available dates. Improvements can be made in this area. Here's an example of how I would like it to look: https://share.cleanshot.com/K0pnRRJ5. Additionally, allowing users to choose the width of widgets, HTML embeds, etc. through custom CSS would be beneficial.
2. When trying to record via my iPhone camera (on Macbook), it often freezes and fails to start. Refreshing the page multiple times or trying different browsers is necessary.
3. For dynamic video, the option to upload a video should be available. The current video editor is not very helpful, or is lacking if you need to delete parts of your video.
4. Although promised for the near future, the feature to combine 2 or more videos for recording introductions and presentations is not currently available.
5. Advanced analytics such as heatmaps or notifications when someone views a video would be appreciated.
6. There is no way to change the privacy settings of a video to make it private or set a password.
7. Limited to 720p and 250Mb/video.
8. While the public roadmap may not be relevant anymore, it would be helpful to know what features are coming up at any given time.
9. Video processing speed could be significantly improved.
10. The AI lip-syncing feature needs better improvement.
11. A "👋🏻" in the thumbnail appears as "▣". This should be fixed.
12. Shortcuts such as Delete and Rename (besides Move to folder) on the "My videos" page would be useful.
13. An advanced video editor would be a welcome addition.

The positives:
1. The ability to have multiple CNAMEs and custom favicons.
2. Simple interface.
3. Customizable colors and the option to customize GIFs, add photos, etc.

Its a bit of a hassle to set up correctly, But once i did i was blown away with how well the voice and face clones do their jobs. I Plan to use potion extensively in my prospecting strategy and possibly upgrade in the future! Thank you so much for presenting appsumo with this deal!

I used this product before it appeared on AppSumo (this time around) and was surprised that such a well evolved product was available. I snapped up three tiers immediately after I saw it and consider the deal to be extremely good value for money. One of the top three deals I've purchased on AppSumo in that regard.

Having manually made and sent thousands of cold outreach videos using BombBomb, and in more recent years, Loom, I can confidently state that Potion saves major amounts of time. My experience has been that they also offer fast and helpful support, even for relatively complicated problems.

This deal is a no-brainer. Almost unbeatable value for your LTD dollar.

Potion is excellent! It's made creating personalized sales videos a breeze, and really fun. I'm impressed by how user-friendly it is and how well it gets the job done. Since I started using Potion in my outreach campaigns, my response rates have seriously improved.

While more customization options for scripts would be a nice addition, the tool still offers excellent functionality as is. If you want to take your outreach to the next level, I'd recommend giving Potion a shot. You won't regret it! I missed this deal the first time. I was hoping it would come back around after seeing other marketers use it to reach out to me. I thought, "Wow! What a cool tool!" I'm glad I got the opportunity to snatch this deal while it last! Happy with it!

I already have a full stack of BHuman, but I've found it hard to use, even though it SHOULD eventually sync with LinkedIn, which is huge. So why get potion?

I've known for AGES (you know 15+ years in internet time) that the more personalized an email is, the better, and one of the best ways to land a client is a personal video shot with something like Loom (another service I've used since it was in Beta, I was their #1 user early on, making over 3000+ videos in my first year when they were OpenTest) that shows the person THEMSELVES - a video shot over their website or LinkedIn profile is huge.

And potion does THAT, and does it well.

The biggest issues that I've had is getting it to synch correctly with the CSVs that I upload (actually, they oddly ONLY take .xlsx docs, NOT CSV which is the industry standard for spreadsheet uploads!), which has made using it a bit clunky, but this may be *ME* not fully understanding the platform.

(EG, to put it into an email platform, you use this code snippit like this:

<a href="https://app.sendpotion.com/6660ecb0a6xxxxe847fdacf/{{email}}"><img alt="" src="https://app.sendpotion.com/media/gif/6660ecb0a6xxxx847fdacf/{{email}}.gif" width="480" height="auto" /></a>

And I think that works regardless of whether potion is in the initial .csv/.xlsx document or not, making it a non-issue - the links are specific to potion, and tokened with the {email} - so having these added to the spreadsheet is kind of a non-issue, as I've come to understand it.)

However, I've had to figure this out on my own in the last few days, and burned about 200 credits in the process (but 3k/month is a good, generous limit).

Faster support would be helpful - I've submitted support tickets but received no response, and also no confirmation that support even got my ticket) - so an in-house chat messenger would be ideal (kinda standard these days) - but again, it does what it says on the box, and I think I'll use this a LOT moving forward.
