Tooltips and checklists point at the work and hope the user follows through. Aimdoc's AI agent clicks, fills fields, and completes onboarding with every new trial, personalized to the account behind it.
Everything is built for you up until go-live.
Amplitude Guides is well-targeted in-product messaging: tooltips, checklists, banners, and surveys triggered by behavioral cohorts. But a nudge still leaves every step of setup to the user.
A tooltip can highlight the connect-your-CRM button. The user still configures the integration alone, in a product they've used for four minutes.
One feature launch means a tooltip, a checklist item, and a follow-up for non-engagers, each designed, targeted, shipped, and maintained by your team.
Behavioral cohorts target “users who didn't finish step three.” They don't know this trial is a 200-seat HubSpot shop evaluating you against an incumbent.
Guides first see a user inside your product. By then you've lost everything the buyer said and asked on your website.
One nudges users toward activation. The other performs it.
| Feature | Amplitude Guides | Aimdoc |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | In-product messaging module inside Amplitude's analytics platform | AI agent that converts and activates trials |
| Onboarding model | Tooltips, checklists, banners, and modals targeted by cohort | An AI agent that clicks, fills fields, and does the setup with the user |
| How experiences get built | Your team designs each guide, checklist, and follow-up | Record a task once; the agent runs it for every new trial |
| When users get stuck | Shows another guide or points to help content | Troubleshoots live, even searching third-party docs to fix integration errors |
| Personalization | Behavioral cohorts and user properties | Per-account: the buyer's website conversation plus your CRM context |
| Website conversion | Not covered | Qualifies buyers on your site; context follows them into the app |
| Product analytics | Yes, it's the core platform | No. Aimdoc acts on top of the analytics you already have |
| Pricing | MTU-based add-on to Amplitude plans, scales with tracked users |
Not a smarter tooltip. An agent working inside your product, account by account.
The AI navigates, clicks, and fills out fields to complete setup with the user, turning a 14-day trial into a productive first session.
Record yourself performing an onboarding task and narrate the context. The AI learns it and runs it for every new trial after that, with no guide-building backlog.
With verified identity, the agent unlocks your CRM context for that user and company, then onboards them like a human who read the file.
Salesforce connection failing during setup? The agent searches the third-party docs, finds the fix, and keeps the user moving.
Guides start when the SDK loads. Aimdoc starts on your website, so the onboarding already knows who it's onboarding.
A buyer talks to Aimdoc on your website: use case, stack, and goals captured.
Aimdoc identifies them in your app and connects the website conversation to the account.
Using your recorded onboarding tasks, it configures the account for their use case.
The user reaches value in the first sitting, not on day 13 of 14 or never.
Guides suggest. Aimdoc does.
Amplitude is a great way to measure your product. Aimdoc is how every new user gets set up, and the two work fine side by side.
