Chameleon

Build in-app product experiences for power users

PaidAdded Dec 1, 2015

About

Chameleon is a product adoption platform focused on helping teams build targeted in-app tours, tooltips, modals, and launchers that adapt to each user's role, plan, and behaviour. Its unique approach prioritises experience quality and precision targeting over volume — Chameleon customers report higher NPS from guided features because the experiences feel helpful, not intrusive. The HelpBar feature adds a universal search and command palette to any web app in minutes, surfacing help articles, product announcements, and navigation shortcuts. Enterprise teams at Heap, MongoDB, and Asana use Chameleon for sophisticated user education at scale.

Origin Story

By Pulkit Agrawal

The Problem

Pulkit was frustrated that in-app guidance tools produced annoying, one-size-fits-all modals that users immediately dismissed — defeating the entire purpose of guided onboarding.

Building It

Founded in 2015, went through Y Combinator, and spent years building one of the most flexible and precise targeting systems in the product adoption space.

First Customer

The first paid customers were product-led SaaS companies that had tried competitors and found that Chameleon's targeting and customisation capabilities were in a different class.

What It Means

Chameleon proved that in-app guidance can be respectful — showing the right experience to the right user at exactly the right moment, not as a nuisance overlay.

The Dream

Software that teaches itself — every user guided to their 'aha moment' by experiences that feel like magic, not marketing.
