The chase starts here

Hey all - Ben here, founder of Essium - makers of Xenqu.

If you're checking this out because of our Product Hunt launch: welcome. If you found this some other way: also welcome. Either way, this thread is meant to be the one place to ask, answer, and think out loud about Xenqu - for people actually using it and for us.

A few things this thread is good for:

• Questions while you're getting set up. If something in the product isn't obvious, isn't documented well enough yet, or just doesn't behave the way you expected - ask here. If you're new, the Getting Started guide is the fastest way to your first working case; this thread is for everything that guide doesn't cover.

• Insights from how you're actually using it. Xena (the AI teammate that chases and validates documents inside Xenqu) gets better the more real-world cases we see it handle. If you built a workflow that surprised you, hit an edge case with document validation, or found a way to use Xenqu we didn't design for - that's genuinely useful to us and to the next person reading this thread.

• Comparisons and "how do I replace X with this." If you're coming from a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, a generic form tool, or another document-chasing product, say so. Other people in the same boat will want to see how that went for you.

• Feature requests and rough edges. We read everything here. We'd rather hear "this was clunky" now than have you quietly churn later.

A couple of ground rules: be specific (a screenshot or a case name beats "it's broken"), and if you're reporting something urgent or account-specific, flag it here and email support - this thread is public and best for things worth other people seeing.

If you signed up through Product Hunt: your 14-day trial doesn't need a card, you've got 100 bonus Xena credits to burn through while you explore, and code PH2026 gets you 25% off your first year whenever you're ready to commit. No pressure on the timeline - ask as many questions here as you need first.

What are you working on setting up first?
