Developer-first in-product assistant and product-adoption platform that learns a product by using it, answers questions, provides guided workflows and can take actions through an Assist API, SDK and configured tools.
When this is useful
Good fit for a SaaS growth-engineering team that wants in-product onboarding, answers and guided activation tied to the application rather than a separate help center or rigid no-code tour builder.

Pricing model: Hosted subscription with a Growth plan and custom Enterprise; self-hosting with customer LLM keys is an Enterprise capability. Growth starts at $1,000/month and includes 2 product agents, 2,500 queries and unlimited seats; Enterprise is custom and adds scale discounts, analytics integrations, mobile SDK and self-hosting.
License and deployment: Hosted service with US or EU data residency; the product page says self-hosting with the customer’s own LLM keys is available, and the pricing page places it in Enterprise.
