BentoAI — Auto-create guides from existing articles and recordings

Hey Product Hunt, I’m Emily, the founder of Bento, and this time, we’re so excited to be properly launching Bento, alongside our most meaningful upgrade yet – BentoAI. Bento is a platform that enables Product managers and designers to craft effective in-product user experiences to activate new customers and deepen their usage of the product. For the past few years, we’ve enabled forward-thinking b2b software companies like Ashby, Ironclad, and Shopmonkey to launch self-serve onboarding and “Everboarding”. But one of the most challenging aspects has always been knowing what to build and how to build it well. A few months ago, we published our Figma templates of UX components that are commonly used in activation and onboarding. Today, we’re taking it a step further and bringing AI powered UX building! 🚀 *Create diverse experiences* BentoAI offers an array of inputs – from videos and help articles to click-through interactions. With these versatile building blocks, you can effortlessly craft various guides, such as onboarding checklists, contextual guides, or interactive click-through flows. For example: - Take your “getting started” help article and input that link to generate a multistep checklist guide which you can embed in your product’s dashboard or homepage - Make a Loom recording of you walking through an advanced feature, and Bento can generate a contextual guide which you can embed on that particular page of your product. - Have Bento record you clicking through a core workflow, and then produce a multistep clickthrough flow guide. 🌟 *Best practices out of the box* Our guides are more than just templates; they embody the best practices drawn from a wealth of customer guides. They’re tuned for length, tone and calls to action 🎨 *Customize effortlessly* We understand that each product is unique and UX flows are ultimately subjective. After BentoAI produces a guide from your inputs, you can easily tailor the content and styling to make it your own. You can even split test different versions to see the impact of length, tone or content. We’re excited to see what you build, and together, ensure that your users and customers get the most value from your products!

Well done, this looks amazing. There's so much potential for AI to automate the maintenance of help resources. Congrats on the launch!

Congrats on the launch! Looks like you've found ways to convert onboarding guides between formats - video recording to doc, or written guide to checkboxes, etc. I know it's probably early but which inputs and outputs are the most popular so far?

Congratulations on the launch Emily! This will help a lot of founders streamline their onboarding and help articles and resources and deploy them in all 3 formats: text, audio and video type!

Two things have stopped me from checking the site at onboarding. Google signup does not work: it keeps throwing error and asking to use business email; you either take Google signup off or you shall allow the use of any email. The second even more important issue is that your certficates on url5882.bentohq.co after one clicks on email link to activate trial is invalid; on top of raising security concerns, users who browse from protected machines (every user with a business email, most likely) get a warning wall and are impeded to proceed to the website. You might to fix those issues.

Congrats, @emily_wang4! This looks super useful. I'm working on some demos now and it can feel overwhelming- will try this out to see if it can help!

Congrats on the launch Emily and team! We are a very happy Bento customer and super excited for this!

This is groundbreaking! 🚀 Integrating onboarding checklists and feature activation with no code is a game-changer for product teams. How does BentoAI ensure that the generated guides are user-friendly and intuitive?

Wow! This is going to make the creation of great onboarding flows so much easier. Can’t wait to try it out!

Very cool use of AI! We have a ton of great help center articles, so this should make it much quicker to create new guides in Ironclad!

Congratulations @emily_wang4 and the rest of the Bento team! What a massive update with SO much potential. The ability to be able to have a jumping-off point with guide creation versus starting blank is massive. So so excited for this :)

Congrats on the launch Emily and Bento team!! I love that you're leveraging existing content to make Bento features even more plug and play.

Big fan of Bento and so excited to see all that BentoAI can do!

Hey Emily! 🌟 Major kudos on launching the upgraded Bento with BentoAI! 🚀 It sounds like a fantastic tool for product teams aiming to enhance user experiences seamlessly.

Great launch and such a perfect application for AI! The automation of help centre articles into onboarding flows is a great time saver for product teams and will provide an amazing customer experience.

Such a great feature that makes scaling and improving the customer experience so much easier. A big win for customer success teams that are constantly juggling multiple implementations and onboardings at the same time.

Whoop! 🙌 Congrats @emily_wang4 & team on the amazing launch – the product is so slick!

First off, Bento sounds amazing! As someone deeply involved in video production for SaaS, I can totally see how game-changing an AI-powered UX building tool can be. I'm particularly intrigued by how BentoAI can turn a simple Loom recording or an article into a dynamic onboarding experience. It’s like magic! 🎩✨ Can't wait to see more SaaS products leveling up their onboarding game with Bento. Cheers to making users' lives easier! 🚀

🤯 this is amazing! This is going to make it so much easier to create guides and extend Bento to other PMs in the org. Also those flows are 🔥, exactly what we're looking for!

Congratulations Emily and team! I'm a big fan of Bento and this upgrade takes it to a new level. It's refreshing to see AI being used to solve real problems!
