Although popularity dwindled since then, built demos have still been submitted as late as November 2005, and are usually made with PrBoom.

The site was active until August 10, 2001, when Jonathan Donner posted a news message stating that their site would be an archive from now on, and pointing towards The Doomed Speed Demos Archive, a site mainly for non-assisted speedruns, of which the author agreed to take over the posting of tool-assisted speedruns. After a short while, when version 2.03 of Lee Killough's Marine's Best Friend Doom source port was released (based on the Boom source port), it became even easier for people to record these demos, adding the functionality of re-recording without having to replay the demo until it reached the point where the player wanted to continue. The site became a success, updating usually several times a week with demos recorded by its maintainers and submitted by its readers. Like many other tool-assisted speedrun communities, the maintainers of the site stressed the fact that their demos were for entertainment purposes rather than skill competitions, although the attempt to attain the fastest time possible with tools itself became a competition as well. A couple of months afterwards, in June 1999, Esko Koskimaa, Peo Sjoblom and Joonatan Donner opened the first site to share these demos, 'Tools-Assisted Speedruns'.

When Andy 'Aurican' Kempling released a modified version of the Doom source code that made it possible to record demos in slow motion and in several sessions, it was possible for the first players to start recording tool-assisted demos. The term was coined during the early days of Doom speedrunning, during which the first of these runs were made (although they were sometimes also referred to as 'built demos').

However, some authors may choose to lose time in order to produce a more entertaining movie since the fastest route to the intended goal may not be the most exciting. Tool-assisted speedruns are produced with an emphasis on entertainment value - such as including tricks and stunts that would otherwise be prohibitively difficult to incorporate. Rather than being a branch of e-sports focused on practical achievements, tool-assisted speedrunning concerns itself with research into the theoretical limits of the games and their respective competitive categories. The idea is not to make gameplay easier for players, but rather to produce a playthrough at a level of gameplay impractical for a human player. These give the creator of said speedrun the ability to perform with precision and accuracy beyond what a human can do.

Most of these tools are used more than once throughout any given TAS. Some tools used by creators of a TAS include savestates and branches, slow-down and frame-by-frame, and creating macros and scripts to perform automated actions. This includes, but is not limited to, the best path to completing a game, as fast as possible, and/or showing a new way to optimize a certain video game. Tool-assisted speedruns are generally created with the goal of creating the perfect speedrun. The person creating such a run uses what they know about the game, what they learned from others, and what they discovered themselves to make their tool-assisted speedrun.

A TAS is created by a person, who can go frame-by-frame through a video game, creating the perfect path through it.
