Resource Centers

AI-Powered Self-Service
Built Into Your Product

One widget that binds your guides, knowledge base, AI assistant, checklists, and support links into a single in-app hub.
Users find their own answers without leaving your product.

One widget, everything your users need

UserGuiding's Resource Center is an in-app help hub that sits inside your product as a floating widget. Fill it with interactive guides, onboarding checklists, surveys, knowledge base search, external links, rich text content, and even live chat. Organize everything into collapsible groups so users find the right resource in seconds.

Personalize the title and launcher text with user attributes like name or role. Target the widget to specific pages and user segments so different audiences see different content.
