Userlens

Userlens

Freemium

Product adoption agent that reads each user's in-product behavior and writes timely, personalized guidance to move them to the next feature or habit.

Key features

  • Adoption Goal Campaigns: You define the product behavior you want users to adopt and Lumi builds the campaign around it, qualifying an audience and giving a clear reason for every match.
  • Behavior-Grounded Personalization: Lumi reads each user's actual session history and writes a message specific to what they did, rather than merging variables into a shared template.
  • Actionable Plan Delivery: Every nudge hands the user's own stalled task back to them as a short runnable plan with a single call to action, instead of a generic feature announcement.
  • Brief-Based Guardrails: You set goal, context, tone and guardrails once - quiet hours, one nudge per N days, skip conditions - and Lumi writes every message inside those limits.
  • Dual Data Sources: Lumi combines your product database, which shows what each customer is entitled to do, with your analytics, which shows what they actually do, to pick the next best action.
  • Behavioral Outcome Measurement: Success is tracked against product KPIs such as feature adopters and usage quality rather than email opens or clicks, showing who adopted and who stalled.
  • PostHog and Database Integrations: Native PostHog and database integrations are available from the free tier upward, with additional data integrations on higher plans.
  • Ship-Speed Follow-Up: As the product changes, Lumi continuously finds the users who have fallen behind on new functionality and gives each the guidance to catch up.

Best for

  • Feature Launch Adoption: After shipping a new feature, automatically identifying which existing users it applies to and explaining it to each of them in their own context.
  • PLG Activation: Moving self-serve signups past their first stalled workflow so trials convert without a human onboarding call.
  • Scaled Customer Education: Giving every account the founder-level attention that was only feasible for the first ten customers, across thousands of users.
  • Churn Risk Intervention: Catching users who repeatedly retry, abandon or work around a task and sending them a corrective plan before frustration turns into churn.
  • Habit Formation: Nudging power users toward higher-leverage workflows such as planning before execution, and measuring whether the habit actually took.
  • Adoption Reporting: Showing product and growth teams which KPIs moved after guidance went out, tied to specific campaigns.
