Pendo is a product analytics and digital adoption platform used by product managers, customer success teams, and UX researchers to understand how users interact with software products and guide users through features with in-app experiences.
Pendo AI applies GPT-powered analysis to product usage data — automatically generating insights from behavioural data rather than requiring analysts to build manual reports. When a product team wants to understand why a feature has low adoption, Pendo AI analyses usage patterns and generates explanations with supporting data.
AI-powered user segmentation identifies cohorts of users with similar behaviour patterns automatically — grouping users by their engagement intensity, feature usage patterns, or journey stage without manual segment definition. These AI-generated segments reveal user groups that manual analysis would not find.
In-product guides, Pendo's core feature, deliver onboarding walkthroughs, feature announcements, and help content directly within the application — without requiring engineering code changes for each update. AI guide creation uses AI to generate guide copy from product descriptions, reducing the content creation effort for product teams.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys embedded in products collect in-context feedback from users — AI sentiment analysis of NPS verbatim responses surfaces themes from qualitative feedback at scale.
Pendo AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and data 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.
