CommandBar for Mobile - AI-powered user assistance for mobile apps

Hey PH, I'm so excited about this launch! Having mostly worked on mobile-first products in the past, I relate so hard to the hurdles of getting eng teams to build "just one more pop-up" that eventually ends up getting dismissed by most users because it's intrusive, annoying, and untimely. The goal with CommandBar for mobile is to give product teams (although I do think marketing teams would love this too) the tools to build and ship these experiences themselves, whether it's an onboarding tour, a reviews campaign, prompting confused users to access Copilot (our AI assistant), or simply communicate product changes WHEN it's the right moment. Would love to hear if any of you have any WTF moments you've experienced with mobile UX in the past!

Hi PH! Since we started 3 years ago, CommandBar has made thousands of web & desktop apps simpler and easier to use through “personalized user assistance” — in-product experiences (e.g. embedded Copilot trained on your product, cmd+k search, nudges, etc) that help users instead of annoying them with pop-ups. Hopefully, you’ve experienced us in a product by now (maybe you did without realizing it 🦸). So far, we resisted the urge to launch a mobile product because (1) we wanted to stay laser-focused and (2) we felt like the “make all web and desktop apps easier to use” mission was a big challenge already. In hindsight, I actually regret not launching a mobile product sooner. When we dug into it with our customers who have mobile apps, it became clear the problems we solve on desktop are even more acute on mobile: - Limited screen space - Users are in a hurry with a specific job in mind - The status quo for mobile user assistance is bad — in-app browser horror, big interrupting pop-ups, incessant “rate me” asks So, introducing - CommandBar for mobile: mobile-native versions of our most popular in-product experiences: - Copilot: an AI-powered assistant for users, just a tap away. Works with voice too so your users can look like they’re speaking to a futuristic Siri / Google Assistant 😎 - HelpHub: make it easy for users to find training content, tutorials, etc. No in-app browser to be found - Nudges: announce stuff to users in non-annoying ways, using advanced targeting. Available today for React Native, iOS, and Android.

Way to go CommandBar team! 🎉

Yay - the day is here! Super excited to see CommandBar for Mobile finally out in the wild! Huge shoutout to the team for all their hard work here. 🙌

Awesome launch team!

Hey @cristinaibunea, congratulations on the launch! 🎉 I completely agree with the hurdles of intrusive pop-ups. CommandBar seems like a welcomed change! As a marketer who often collaborates with the product team, the ability to swiftly communicate product changes is super valuable. Have you considered any features to analyze the performance or user interaction with these guided experiences? Would love to see that in the future!

Congratulations on the launch of CommandBar, it's a great solution! We look forward to seeing how this improves the user experience!

Happy users -> loyal users. Great tool Cristina, thanks for sharing it. Congratulations to you, James and the entire team for building this gem. Supported and wish you good luck with the launch.

Is there a desktop version of this?

This looks fantastic, congrats to the whole CommandBar team! I'm especially looking forward to seeing more apps adopt this. There are some incredibly powerful mobile apps out there, but documentation and explanation of those features sometimes feel like a second-thought on mobile. So glad to see CommandBar releasing features to make this much more accessible for both app developers to offer in-app, and for users to access on the fly! Excited to try it out 🤩
