Appcues is a product adoption and user onboarding platform enabling SaaS product teams to create in-app onboarding experiences, feature announcements, tooltips, and surveys without engineering resources. AI capabilities in Appcues assist product managers and growth teams in designing effective onboarding experiences — AI content suggestions for onboarding steps, AI audience segmentation based on user behaviour, and AI analysis of onboarding completion rates with improvement recommendations. No-code experience creation is the core value — product managers create onboarding checklists, product tours, feature spotlights, and welcome modals through a visual editor that overlays the actual product interface. Targeting rules determine who sees which onboarding experience — segmenting by user attributes (plan, role, signup date) and behaviour (pages visited, features used, events triggered) to show relevant guidance. NPS and user research surveys are deployable in-product — collecting satisfaction and feedback data from users in context without redirecting to external survey tools. Analytics track onboarding performance — step completion rates, drop-off points, and conversion from guided users versus unguided users. With customers including Amplitude, Brex, and Pendo customers, Appcues validates across analytics, fintech, and product-led SaaS for product adoption tooling.
Appcues AI runs as llm assistant software built around text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android (mobile sdk).
