Use Cases

Customer Onboarding Guide Software

Use Guide Agent as customer onboarding guide software when new customers need help learning setup, configuration, and key product workflows.

Create onboarding guides that move customers to value

Customer onboarding guides should help a customer reach the first meaningful result, not explain the whole product at once. Guide Agent helps teams turn setup flows and product screens into onboarding assets that customers can follow after kickoff, training, or implementation calls.

The same onboarding workflow often needs several versions: one for admins, one for end users, one for customer success, and one for support. Captured product screens give every version a shared source of truth.

This use case is strongest when onboarding content needs to be repeated across accounts, updated as the product changes, and shared without asking a customer to join another live walkthrough.

Problems this solves

Customers forget setup steps after kickoff calls.
Customer success teams repeat the same onboarding explanation account by account.
Admin and end-user onboarding guides get mixed together.
Product updates make onboarding docs stale.

Customer onboarding workflow in Guide Agent

Step 1

Capture the activation flow

Start with the workflow that gets a customer to value, such as creating a workspace, inviting a teammate, connecting an integration, or publishing a first guide.

Step 2

Choose the customer role

Ask the agent to write for an admin, end user, customer success manager, or non-technical customer.

Step 3

Remove advanced detail

Keep the onboarding path focused on the first result. Move advanced settings, edge cases, and internal notes into separate versions.

Step 4

Share after onboarding moments

Send the guide after kickoff, embed it in a customer portal, or export it for implementation documentation.

Example: first workspace setup

A customer success team wants every new customer to create a workspace, invite the first teammate, and publish a guide. The live kickoff covers the flow, but customers need a resource afterward.

Guide Agent turns the setup screens into an onboarding guide that can be shared after the call and updated when the setup flow changes.

  • Admin version: include configuration decisions and prerequisites.
  • End-user version: focus on the first action they need to complete.
  • Customer success version: add notes for follow-up and adoption.
