Reprise Introduces First Agentic AI Capture System for Enterprise Demo Creation
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Reprise, the leading AI demo platform for enterprise software companies, today announced the availability of its Agentic Demo Builder. This new auto-capture technology fundamentally changes how demo environments are created. It transforms software into ready-to-use demo environments without requiring manual work. Unlike other demo products — which produce static, guided tours — Reprise's Agentic Demo Builder creates fully interactive demos that behave just like the real product and are customizable by a business team to create an optimal demo experience. Reprise releases new auto-capture technology to fundamentally change how demo environments are created and deliver an optimal demo experience. Share Demos are the most critical part of the B2B sales process. 81% of sellers admit they've lost a deal to a bad demo, and 72% of buyers report that the vendor they chose was the one that gave the best demo. However, most demo tools still use error-prone live environments or screenshot demos. With those tools, it can take weeks or even months of working with the vendor just to configure a single demo environment. Now, go-to-market teams can clone their product on their own. As a customer captures their application, Reprise's AI agents learn how the software is rendered and automatically write the code needed to help ensure the resulting demo works out of the box. Reprise is the only AI demo platform that combines this agentic approach with full support for every type of demo creation, from guided tours to complete application clones. 'B2B software is full of intricacies, so creating customized demos has traditionally been time-consuming and technical,' said Asaf Stein, Global Director of Solutions Engineering at Optimove. 'Today, our team uses Reprise to make high-quality demos that scale. With AI, Reprise will transform the historically tedious demo capture process, so our solutions engineers will now be able to focus on more impactful, revenue-generating tasks.' The Reprise Agentic Demo Builder includes two core features: AI Demo Diagnostic Engine: Automatically detects blockers to demoing a software application. Identifies issues like expired tokens, hardcoded domains, timestamp issues, or broken requests. AI Demo Setup: AI agents automatically fix issues behind the scenes, turning error-prone demos into clean, production-ready environments. 'Sales engineers are a vital resource for any fast-growing software company, but they're spending 24% of their time maintaining demos instead of giving them,' said Sam Clemens, co-founder and CEO of Reprise. 'Reprise's AI capture system allows sales engineers to generate a perfectly cloned environment with ease. That frees them to do what they do best: build and sell solutions. By removing the single biggest bottleneck in demo creation, the Agentic Demo Builder is the breakthrough the market has been waiting and wishing for.' Agentic Demo Builder follows the company's December release of AI-powered data injection, which lets users instantly generate custom data to populate their demos. Today's announcement builds on this momentum, giving Reprise customers the ability to auto-capture, auto-maintain, and auto-populate their demo environments in a single platform. The Agentic Demo Builder Diagnostic Engine is live in the Reprise platform now, and AI Demo Setup will be available in September 2025, to any company looking to transform its demo creation process. The new capability will be accessible to existing customers who use application clones.

Motorcycle event an alternative to street racing
RURAL MARION, S.D. (KELO) — Perhaps you've heard at it night while you're trying to fall sleep: street racing. Law enforcement and lawmakers have taken steps to curb street racing, including a new state law that goes into effect in July. It's a popular complaint fielded by Sioux Falls Police: motorcycle racing and exhibition driving on city streets. 'So loud engine noises, maybe doing wheelies or stuff like that. Sometimes it's a simulated race where they're driving at a high rate of speed. It may not be an actual race. Sometimes it may be an actual race,' said Sam Clemens with the Sioux Falls Police Department. But a three-day event at Thunder Valley Dragways near Marion will offer an alternative way to show off your bike. 'You want to race? I love it. I'm all for it, but let's do it in a controlled environment,' Organizer Jarrid Lawrence said. It's Rally at the Valley put on by Those Guys ABATE. The event starts Thursday and will give riders a chance to see whose bike is faster. 'As you can see, we have the track, it's all set up and it's a quarter mile track, so bring your buddies out, do it here. We have medical staff on call at all times when you're racing, so this would be a perfect opportunity. It's going to keep them safe, it keeps all the public safe, because they're not going down the streets,' Organizer Crystal Lawrence said. It's $20 to get in the gate for the whole event. 'Here at the track, we're promoting the fastest bike. We're promoting that grudge match between buddies saying, 'I have the fastest bike in the group.' Well, here instead of getting a ticket from a police officer because you're exhibition driving, you're careless driving, here you're going to get a ticket at the end of the track actually giving you logistics of, 'I am the fastest bike in my group,'' Jerrid Lawrence said. The event also features live music and camping. For a full list of events, click here. A portion of the proceeds will go to Children's Home Society. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Police hope falling car theft trend continue in Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The number of stolen cars in Sioux Falls dropped from 2023 to last year. However, police still warn people that car thieves are very active in the city. On Sunday, someone broke into two apartments at the Dow Rummel Village and stole cash and two cars. One car was recovered, the other is still missing. 'Masks and vests': Witnesses describe ICE in Madison 8 out of 10 cars stolen in Sioux Falls are left unlocked with the keys inside. It's easy pickings for criminals. Sioux Falls Police say there are thieves, sometimes working in groups, just looking for this kind of opportunity. However, there is positive news: for the first time since 2018, car thefts dropped in Sioux Falls. In 2023, a record 1,600 vehicles were stolen, but in 2024 that number dropped to less than 1300. That is significant because stolen cars are often used in other crimes. 'I think people have a misperception that these cars are stolen and get sent to a chop shop or parted out, that's the thing that you see in TV and movies. That's not what we are seeing in Sioux Falls. What we are seeing is people stealing these cars, primarily using them to commit other crimes, said Police Spokesman Sam Clemens. In February, a suspect fired shots at a police officer while burglarizing a vape shop before running away. Turns out both the vehicle and the gun were stolen. And in April a man accused of shooting and wounding a Sioux Falls police officer on west 12th street and was later wounded by Highway Patrol troopers was driving a stolen SUV. Clemens says the city of Sioux Falls's campaign to encourage people to Lock It and Pocket may be working. 'But we are talking 80 to 90 percent of the cars that are stolen are unlocked with the keys left in them,' said Clemens. 'Sometimes people leave it in a center console, under the floor mat, in a cup holder, it could be a spare key they keep their primary key with them, there's any number of different reason but people leaving keys in the car, somebody is going to come by and steal it that's what it really comes down to.' Full-size pick-ups are a primary target for car thieves, but they will take any make or model if the keys are left in them. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Two identified in fatal southeastern Sioux Falls car crash, police say
The Sioux Falls Police Department has released the names of two individuals who died in a fatal May 9 car crash in Sioux Falls, department spokesperson Sam Clemens said in a May 12 police briefing for media. Emergency responders were dispatched to East 57th Street and South Veterans Parkway around 6:30 p.m., according to a May 9 press release from Sioux Falls Police Department Sgt. Travis Olsen. Investigators determined a 2015 Ford Taurus initiated a left turn onto 57th Street, according to the press release. The vehicle, which had a flashing yellow turn signal, turned in front of an oncoming GMC Sierra, which had a green light, traveling southbound on Veterans Parkway, Clemens said. Previous Coverage: Two dead following Friday night car crash in southeastern Sioux Falls A passenger in the Ford Taurus, 78-year-old Linda Lee Metzger, was declared dead at the scene, Clemens said. The driver of the vehicle, 77-year-old Charles Dean Metzger, was transported to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Both occupants of the Ford Taurus were from Lester, Iowa, according to the press release. The sole occupant of the GMC Sierra, a 35-year-old Harrisburg man, was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries, according to the press release. 'There are traffic cameras at that intersection, so that'll help with the investigation,' Clemens said Monday. 'But it's too early to say whether speeds, alcohol or drugs were a factor in that.' The incident is still under investigation, Clemens said. This article originally appeared on Sioux Falls Argus Leader: Sioux Falls police identify victims in fatal Veterans Parkway crash
