What is Waylume?

Waylume is a guided navigation service for websites.

Instead of relying only on static help articles, Waylume can guide a user through the live UI in context. The user opens a guide, starts a flow, and sees step-by-step instructions tied to actual elements on the page.

Core Use Cases

• Onboarding users to multi-step product flows
• Reducing support load for repetitive UI instructions
• Guiding users through setup, billing, or configuration tasks
• Embedding product-specific walkthroughs directly inside a web app

Two Ways to Use Waylume

• Chrome extension

  • Useful when guidance is delivered through the browser extension experience.
• Embedded SDK

  • Useful when you want to place the guide entry point directly inside your own product UI.

This public documentation focuses on those two surfaces:

• The extension as the end-user guidance experience
• The SDK as the integration surface for your own website

Why It Matters

Traditional documentation explains what to do. Waylume is designed to help users do it inside the product itself.

That is useful when:

• The UI changes frequently
• The task spans several pages
• Users need confidence that they are clicking the correct control
• You want a lighter-weight alternative to recording and re-recording full product tours
