What is Guidely?

Guidely is a browser extension that keeps you in the app and guides you step by step. Learn what it is, what it’s not, who it helps, and why it matters.

What is Guidely?

Guidely is a browser extension that guides you through SaaS interfaces, step by step, while you’re inside the product. Instead of switching tabs to search help docs or interpret a generic chatbot response, Guidely focuses on the next step and helps you move forward.

What Guidely does (in plain language)

Guidely helps close the gap between instructions and action. When you’re stuck, it aims to make three things clear:

  • What to do next
  • Where to click
  • Why the step matters

The problem Guidely solves: translating instructions into action

Getting stuck in software is rarely about “not knowing” — it’s about not finding.

  • Menus move.
  • Labels change.
  • Help Center articles are correct, but you still have to map them to what’s on your screen.

Guidely is designed to reduce that cognitive load by staying with you in the interface.

How Guidely works at a high level

Guidely follows a simple flow:

  • You tell it what you’re trying to do.
  • It references official Help Center/docs to generate a structured plan.
  • It guides you through the steps on the page, one at a time.

What Guidely is not (important boundaries)

Guidely is intentionally scoped. It’s not:

  • A replacement for product documentation
  • A generic chatbot that answers in isolation
  • An in-app tour tool built by SaaS companies for onboarding (like WalkMe/Pendo-style tours)
  • A tool that takes actions for you without consent

Guidely optimizes for clarity, trust, and forward motion, even when full automation isn’t possible.

Who Guidely is for

Guidely is for people who often think:

“I know this exists — I just can’t find it.”

Common fits include:

  • Power users juggling many tools
  • Product managers, ops, founders
  • Non-technical users working in complex SaaS
