An AI agent that learns your product and guides your users

Hey HN! My name is Christian, and I’m the co-founder of https://frigade.ai. We’ve built an AI agent that automatically learns how to use any web-based product, and in turn guides users directly in the UI, automatically generates documentation, and even takes actions on a user’s behalf. Think of it as Clippy from the old MS Office. But on steroids. And actually helpful. You can see the agent and tool-calling SDK in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPe0t3A1Vpg How is this different from other AI customer support products? Most AI "copilots" are really just…

In plain words

Frigade is an AI agent that learns web-based products and guides users directly within the application interface. It automatically generates documentation, provides in-app assistance, and can take actions on behalf of users. The tool includes an SDK for developers and differs from typical AI chatbots by offering hands-on guidance rather than generic suggestions, reducing the burden on users to self-serve through documentation.

From the sources

Frigade Assistant is the AI digital adoption platform for in-app user onboarding, product adoption, and feature adoption. It learns your product by using it, then guides users through real workflows in real time. No flow design, no prompt tuning, no docs to maintain.

Other tools read your help docs. Frigade learns your product by using it, so it can answer, walk the workflow live, or just do it. The ticket never happens. Frigade reads the same product the user is looking at, and handles the request from there. Most bots stop at explaining. Frigade picks the right response for the moment: answer it, walk it on the live screen, or do it for the user. Answers come from how your product works today, not from a help doc written two releases ago. When telling isn't enough, Frigade highlights the next click and walks the workflow, across pages and modals. Skills let the assistant run the action itself, inside what the user can already see and do. Send us a URL…from frigade.ai

    Hey HN! Christian here, cofounder and CTO of Frigade (https://www.frigade.com). Our tool helps product and engineering teams quickly build in-app experiences like getting started checklists, product tours, account upsells, and nps surveys. Basically all the little things that can help boost your product's activation and retention rates, but that you don't really want to spend the time building from scratch. We built React UI components such as , , and and combined them with a web app that you can use to control user targeting, content management, sequencing, and more. These…

    Built Figr AI because I got tired of AI builder tools market themselves as design tools and end up skipping the hard part. Every tool I tried would jump straight to screens. But that's not how product design actually works. You don't just design screens. You think through the problem first. The flows, the edge cases, the user journey, where people will get stuck. Then the design comes finally. Figr does that thinking layer first. It parses your existing product via a chrome extension or takes in screen-records, then works through the problem with you before designing. Surfaces edge cases,…

    Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

  • Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

  • Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
