Always-on guidance that stays out of the way

Hotspots are static onboarding elements that sit on top of any page element, waiting for users to engage on their own terms. Unlike guides that take over the screen, hotspots present information on demand through a pulsating beacon and expandable tooltip. They never block interaction or force a linear flow.

Group multiple hotspots on a single page, target them to specific user segments, and control how often they appear. Build everything visually with the Chrome extension, no code needed. Track interaction data per hotspot through built-in reports with daily, weekly, or monthly breakdowns.
