A voice guide that shows people around your real product.

Add one script tag to your web app. Anyone can press a button, ask a question out loud, and watch the guide answer it on screen: it moves its own cursor, clicks, fills in fields and points at what matters. In their browser, in your actual product.

Talk to the guide

app.acme.example/invoices Sample app

Illustration: the guide opens the Invoices page of a sample app, starts a new invoice, fills in a sample customer and amount, then stops and asks before sending it.

Your browser will ask to use your microphone. No microphone, or somewhere quiet? Type instead. The guide still shows you everything on screen, with captions.

What the guide does on a call

Think of a patient colleague sharing your screen. It points while it talks, does the clicking when you ask, and gets out of the way when you want to try it yourself.

  • Points while it talks

    The guide moves to whatever it is describing and circles it, so nobody has to hunt for the button it means.

  • Clicks and fills in fields

    It can open pages, press buttons and type sample data, on the pages and controls you allow.

  • Asks before real changes

    Anything that saves, sends, pays or deletes waits until the person says yes.

  • Steps back when you take over

    Move your own mouse and the guide moves aside. Ask again and it picks up from where you are.

  • Takes the fast path

    For the flows people ask about most, it follows paths you mapped ahead of time instead of working out your menus as it goes.

  • Learns with your approval

    After calls it suggests new paths and answers. Nothing it learns reaches visitors until you approve it.

Two jobs, one guide

The same script runs demos for people deciding whether to buy, and setup help for people who already did.

Demos for prospects

Visitors ask about the feature they care about and watch it work, at any hour, without booking a call. You point the guide at a demo workspace filled with sample data.

Onboarding for new users

New users ask how to do the step they are stuck on, and the guide shows them in their own account. It tells them what it is about to change and waits for a yes.

Install it yourself

Paste one line into your app, choose what the guide may touch, and map the flows people ask about most. There is no sales call and no deployment team.

Each step, in order

Example. The real line, with your site ID, appears in your dashboard after sign-up.

We publish our numbers

You should be able to check what the guide costs and how well it works before you talk to anyone. Both pages are public. The benchmark isn’t finished yet, and it says so.

You won’t find customer logos or testimonials on this site. We don’t have any yet.

A live guide or a captured demo?

A captured demo is a clickable copy of your screens. It costs little to show and plays the same way every time. A live guide works in the product itself and answers the question that was actually asked.
