Show HN: GuideLab – in-app user guides for their entire journey

4 pointsby ojameover 3 years ago
Hi HN, I’m James and I’m excited to share GuideLab, on-demand in-app guides to reduce support load and make your users happier.<p>After a decade of working on products with small (20k) and large (millions) user bases, one thing remained clear - level 1 support takes up a lot of time. From universal usability (’how do I reset my password?’, ’how do I invite team members?’) to product specific problems, the answer is sometimes in a chat bot or knowledge base, but it’s cumbersome for the user and often gets lost in translation.<p>Using GuideLab, you create in-app guides through a UI (&quot;no code&quot;) which can then be shared with your users via a link special link over any platform: email, Zendesk, Intercom, in a KB, social media etc. As soon as a user clicks the link, they’re taken to your app and instantly see the guide.<p>There’s also our search widget that you can embed directly in your web app. A &#x27;Help Guides&#x27; tab appears for the user, where they can search and view any guide you&#x27;ve created. In that way GuideLab is fundamentally different to other guiding software like AppCues or userpilot. They focus on opting users into guides based on cohorts&#x2F;attributes whereas GuideLab lets users view guides when they need them most.<p>There’s a quick (&lt;1m) video on the homepage (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;guidelab.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;guidelab.io</a>) walking you through how GuideLab works. If you have any other questions, or if there’s anything you’d love to see in this space, please share.
