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 --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://gitsbt.gitbook.io/waylume-documentation/what-is-waylume.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
