Howdy Product Hunters! Thanks @katmanalac! It's strange that nearly every software company stores session replays, and nobody watches them. It's just too time-consuming. But what if you could watch every moment of every user session? What would you learn? Which customers would you follow up with? What issues would you uncover? At PathPilot, we are building an AI that observes session replays like a business owner and then takes action on those observations, like a business owner. Our first product ingests collections of session replays and extracts a highlight reel of noteworthy events, allowing you to quickly keep tabs on your real user experience. We can help if you: + Have specific customers that you cannot lose + Want insights on where users get lost or confused + Care about minimizing bugs and UI issues + Want to understand how users interact with new features Our earliest customers use PostHog for session replays, but we can support most alternatives. If you book a demo we can get you started with sample reel of interesting highlights for free.

@katmanalac @inactive_user_ PathPilot's approach of using AI to analyze session replays and extract key insights is a valuable tool for understanding user behavior. The ability to automatically identify noteworthy events can save time and provide actionable insights for businesses. Here are some questions for further exploration: - Can PathPilot be customized to focus on specific user actions or behaviors relevant to a particular business? - How does PathPilot ensure the privacy and security of user data captured in session replays? - Does PathPilot integrate with other analytics or customer relationship management (CRM) tools? As a developer with experience in AI and data analysis, I'm interested in how PathPilot works. Here are some potential areas for collaboration: - Contributing to the development and refinement of the AI algorithms used for analyzing session replays and extracting insights. - Exploring additional features like user segmentation, heatmaps, or predictive analytics. - Integrating PathPilot with popular analytics or CRM platforms for a more comprehensive view of user behavior. I'd love to learn more about PathPilot's technical architecture and explore opportunities to contribute to its development. Additionally, I'm interested in trying out PathPilot with a sample of our session replays to see the insights it can provide.

Hey Vladimir, How does PathPilot determine what constitutes a "noteworthy event" in a session? Can users customize the criteria for what gets included in the highlight reel? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Good questions: Right now "noteworthy events" are not strictly defined. It is a mix of what the customer wants to see more of (e.g. users interacting with a new feature) and what is discovered organically (UI issues, interesting user behaviors, etc). We regularly adjust our highlights based on customer feedback. Highlight detection is currently semi-automated. It's a mix of humans and AI, moving increasingly towards automation (though much work remains).

@kyrylosilin I came to the comment section to ask the same question.

You guys fixing a huge problem. A lot of time savings due to these solutions will. Best of luck to the team.

@orkhanh Thank you, I'm interested to hear what you've been using session replays for. We've seen a lot of different use cases.
Orkhan Hajiyev
We've used it for several cases: - for detecting any bad UX (one time we found that the CTA button was hidden behind the chat overlay (when it was opened) - to find out any dead clicks - text to fit the UI frame of elements (especially when users have a different than English default browser language) - to identify where users think more before taking action - a lot of insights after watching the behavior of users in pricing pages (that helped optimize it) - and more

@orkhanh Nice, yeah. Those seem like great finds/use cases. It's a lot of digging to find the UX gold though right? I'll shoot you a message tomorrow to see if we can help. It's bedtime!

@daniel_xpo Thanks Daniel. @andressul designed our landing page on very short notice. He's great.

It would be great to see PathPilot offer customizable alerts for specific UI issues or user interactions.

@mozell_kraichely Excellent suggestion. Alerts are on our roadmap!

Giddy up! Passing this along to my product manager friends. I'm also excited to see if CSMs can use this to identity which new customers log on but fail to use features in a meaningful way.

@james_ulan Thanks James. We have a bunch of functionality planned specifically for CSMs.

@inactive_user_ can’t tell you how exciting that is because I’ve haven’t seen AI touch them in the same way as coding and sales.
Noah Christopher Bennett
This looks really interesting! A couple of quick questions - - How does PathPilot choose which moments to highlight in the reel? - Are there any customization options for what gets included in the highlights? Congrats on the launch! Looking forward to trying it out.

@noahchristopherbennett - Highlights are selected and refined using a mix of AI and humans-in-the-loop - Yes, we can generally shape and adjust the highlights around your needs. We're launching a "feedback" feature in the coming days to address this use case. Looking forward to learning more about how you use session replays at DataPulse. We'd love to help. Easiest way is to email me: vlad@getpathpilot.com

PathPilot sounds super useful! I’ve spent way too much time watching session replays myself, so having AI help with that sounds like a game-changer. Excited to see how it works. Congrats, Vladimir!

@davidcarter Thank you. What context were you watching them in? What were you looking for?

Congrats guys! 🚀, wishing you all the best!”

Amazing work, @inactive_user_ and team! PathPilot is setting a new standard for user experience analysis. The blend of AI and human oversight in generating highlights is intriguing. Can you delve into the process of how you fine-tune the AI’s understanding of what constitutes a "noteworthy event"? This could be a game-changer for product development! Go YC Alum!

It’s refreshing to see a tool focused specifically on actionable session insight.

I’m really impressed by how this tool turns hours of session replays into concise highlight reels. It’s a powerful for analyzing user behavior.

Launching soon!
In my last company this was a very important usecase where users would appreciate the product a lot and then we could pick those up and make a reel. Congrats on the launch!

Great product, really helped us analyse our user sessions to discover a few bugs before our launch.

Wow, PathPilot sounds like a game-changer for businesses looking to truly understand user experience without burning hours on session replays! 🎥 The idea of an AI that acts like a business owner to highlight noteworthy events is brilliant. This could save so much time and provide actionable insights for retaining key customers and minimizing bugs. I'm curious, how does PathPilot's AI prioritize which events to highlight? And are there specific industries you’ve found where this tool is particularly beneficial? Excited to see how this will revolutionize user experience monitoring! 🚀 @inactive_user_
