Acceleration of product adoption

Checklist + tours: driving fast, focused onboarding

To accelerate user activation, the Factors.AI team implemented Product Fruits onboarding elements designed to guide users through setup and achieve first win.

The embedded checklist, paired with feature tours and hints, provides new users with a clear path through the platform. This onboarding flow ensures users complete essential installation steps and engage with core features within the first seven days.

To support users who dismiss or complete the checklist but still need guidance, the team added flashing beacons and launchers for feature tours across key touchpoints.

These elements offer ongoing, contextual assistance, helping users revisit product education whenever needed without starting from scratch.

Help center: always-on support at your users’ fingertips

The Life Ring Button in Factors.AI acts as a central hub for user assistance, making support and resources easily accessible at any point in the user journey.

It brings together three key channels:

  • Knowledge base – A self-serve library with essential product documentation and onboarding guides
  • Live chat (Intercom) – Real-time support for users needing hands-on help or guidance through complex flows
  • Feedback widget – A passive channel for users to report bugs and raise issues at their convenience

By combining proactive support with self-service tools, Factors.AI ensures users are never more than one click away from the help they need. Whether it’s a walkthrough, a quick answer or a real conversation.

Product feedback that fuels progress

Surveys + feedback widget: a powerful combo

To optimize both product experience and onboarding, the Factors.AI team built a structured feedback system using in-app surveys and the feedback widget, which is embedded in the Life Ring Button (the in-app help center).

Each tool plays a distinct role across the user journey:

  • The feedback widget, captures insights around onboarding friction and product usability, reducing the load on live chat while surfacing actionable issues.
  • Surveys (NPS and CSAT) help the team measure platform improvement over time, identify weaknesses in the onboarding flow and understand why users churn.

"Integrating an in-app feedback widget with our Slack channel enables us to swiftly address user issues on our platform and gather important feedback for future product development."

Together, these feedback loops power a more customer-centric product roadmap and enable targeted interventions.

Power tip from Sarthak:
"We run surveys (NPS, CSAT) every three months for all users who have signed up at least 30 days before the survey date. Old users can help us validate whether our improvements based on the last survey were successful, while new users provide a fresh perspective on product usage and pain points."

"We have also set up rules to gather more details about users' experiences. Users who rate 7 or less on the CSAT are presented with an additional question asking why they feel this way and what we could change in the product today to better suit their needs."
