HelpBar enables users to search help resources, navigate your product, and launch other “actions” from within your product, helping them get answers and achieve success quickly.
Thanks @sheel_mohnot! We think this should be standard across all SaaS apps and didn't want to add any barriers to adoption by charging for it. We already have a successful core product that we charge for and hopefully HelpBar generates some interest for our Product Adoption features!
@sheel_mohnot great question:
We want to maximize adoption and didn't want to add friction
We were able to sustain this because we've found a way to make it relatively inexpensive for us to maintain (helps that it's fully self-serve)
We're hoping to drive value from it via generating awareness for our main product

@sheel_mohnot I laughed out loud -- really just what @jaymmtl and @_pulkitagrawal said most of the relevant Help center content we're targeting is already public but only available on the "help." subdomain
Remarkable product from such a smart, funny, kind, thoughtful, and creative team of humans! An all-in-one place for everything "help" related is exactly what the world needs right now with so many different tools in so many different places. Congrats, everyone!
@ashley_hyman1 you can use it today! Don't even need any engineering 🙃

@ashley_hyman1 Woohoo! Thanks for lovely note. So excited to work with y'all on setting this (and other Chameleon products) up - Shoot me an email if you want to chat about it at all before we meet next week ☺️

@ashley_hyman1 I would love to see our Drata content searchable via the HelpBar -- would be so helpful to search "disclosure" and find our policies that reference Security disclosures, and then search Heroku and jump to the right page!
@ayesha_awan1 thanks for your support!! 100% – let's make it easy for users to self-serve the answers they need and give team's back time to focus on proactive support 🙌
Massive congrats on launching HelpBar. The concept of an easily accessible, comprehensive in-product search tool is absolutely fantastic. Keep up the fantastic work!
@dino123 Thanks Shane! It's almost surprising that this isn't already prevalent..! Some companies build a version of this in-house but it's typically for in-app actions and shortcuts (think Slack) but not for getting access to help content
Thanks for your support @neildevani! They now can for free using HelpBar.ai. Its become such a natural pattern, especially for us mac users!

@neildevani absolutely! As a CS leader, I wish HelpBar was around long ago to add to the efficiency of my team -- reducing the support workload, supporting a scale motion, and opening up more time to spend on proactive, strategic 1-1 time.
@dskaletsky me too! You can try it for the Copper help center here: https://www.helpbar.ai/?url=http...
Click "Show" and then ask a question (end with a ?) and see how it does. Would love your feedback!

@dskaletsky looking forward to your feedback as well!
