👋, Product Hunt! Tango is back and we’re here to help you Get Sh*t Done! Before I explain how, let me provide the backdrop. When we originally launched on Product Hunt (Product of the year runner up in 2021 thanks to all of you!), our goal was to make creating documentation, how-to guides, and SOPs less painful. The response from this community was incredible, and helped validate what we were building. Fast forward and there are over 350,000 people using Tango. Wow, it’s still hard to believe! While people were using Tango to create beautiful how-to guides, faster than ever before, we were talking with customers. We learned what product improvements would have the biggest impact on their lives, and we quickly went back into build-mode. Now, what’s up with the expletive above…? As exciting as our prior PH launches have been, this one takes the cake. It’s not even close. I am thrilled to announce the launch of Guidance. Guidance is an entirely new way to learn on the job and get work done faster. Starting today, Tango’s frictionless how-to guides are transformed into on-screen interactive walkthroughs with built-in peer insights. With Tango Guidance, users get: 🔎 Guidance without meetings. Guidance shows viewers exactly where to take action on their screen. With built-in context and personalized insights, experts can get nuanced information across that previously would have required a live conversation. ✅ Cross-platform integration - no code required. Guidance works for any website, SaaS product, and cross-application processes without code. 🙋‍♀️ Answers in the right place, at the right time. Answers show up where and when they’re needed in the flow of work so viewers don’t waste time and energy searching for the right information or switching tabs. ✍️ Opportunity to provide feedback. Comments and reactions allow viewers to respond and react to specific steps in a documented process. This alerts creators to improvement opportunities including when something is out of date, doesn’t make sense, or there's simply a better way. Following these steps to start using Guidance today: 1️⃣ Visit https://tango.us to download our Chrome extension for free 2️⃣ Capture your first (or thousandth) Tango and put it in your Shared Workspace 3️⃣ Add teammates to your Shared Workspace 4️⃣ Send them the URL and tell them to click “Guide Me” 5️⃣ Get Sh*t Done! Last but not least, be sure to join our launch event at 10a PT today: https://www.tango.us/guidance-la... Event attendees are automatically entered into a giveaway which includes AirPods Pro, a Tango Swag Pack, and one year of Tango Pro. There will also be a world-famous celebrity joining us who none of you would ever want as a coworker. I’m not kidding. We’re so excited to hear what you think about Guidance. Thanks for reading 🙏 Let’s Tango! 💃🏻

@ken_babcock this is so awesome. Guidance will change the game. What personas will benefit most from guidance?
Rocco Seyboth
Hey @zachary_dewitt 👋 Everyone needs to get sh*t done 😁 Here are just a few examples of how departments can use Guidance: Support teams will ramp agents faster, enable outsourcing, and ensure mistake-free work which will lead to happy customers and higher NPS. Sales teams can get new reps running the perfect demo in days and ensure 100% perfect data entry which is critical for pipeline accuracy. Marketing teams can make the most of their expensive tech stack and crush product launches to increase their contribution to revenue. Success teams can create highly tailored onboarding flows for new customers which leads to sticky usage in days, not months. Product teams can teach everyone to be an expert on new product launches faster, with less training time. HR & Training teams will help new hires spend less time learning software and more time learning customers, product and their craft.

@zachary_dewitt @rocco_seyboth1 Quick question. I see the term agent being mentioned often recently (last few weeks). what does it mean? What kind of agent? sales, LLM? customer success or is it something else?
Rocco Seyboth
Hey Andre @eonpilot 👋 That's just what customer support teams sometimes call the humans who on thier team - customer support agents.
Greg Kihlstrom
@ken_babcock Love this product and this is exciting - Guidance looks really interesting - keep up the great work!
Olly Meakings
This is really interesting. Two questions: So does guidance REPLACE help guides? I looked at your landing page and all the language about creating help guides is gone. Also, do my customers have to use the chrome extension to see the guide. If you could remove that it would be killer.
Andi Bailey
@helloitsolly Tango's Guides are still very much a thing, but now you can follow them on-screen in an interactive walkthrough as well. Customers will have to install the Chrome extension to follow Guidance, but we're thinking about other options for accessing Guidance!
Iba Masood
Congrats on the launch folks, can't wait to give this a spin for our internal documentation and wikis!
Brianna Yoon
@ibamasood Thanks Iba! Guidance seriously has us feeling like this 🤩🤩🤩 Excited for you and your team to try it out.
Nitesh Banta
Congrats on another exciting launch @ken_babcock!
Ken Babcock
@nbanta Appreciate it, Nitesh!

This is going to be a game-changer! I've been using Tango since the beginning on one-player mode, excited to unlock more with my teammates & clients.
Annie Ng
@maxmackey Thanks so much for your continued support, Max!! 🙌🏼
Syed Ahmed
Congratulations on the launch Tango Team! Guidance looks super useful for any team that has unique processes in place that need to be adopted but both new comers and the existing team. Definitely see a lot of value in this driving up internal adoption of tools and frameworks.
Annie Ng
@syedahmedz Yes!! We're excited for how this will help teams onboard new hires. Thanks for the support Syed!
Olly Meakings
I posted this as a review, my mistake. 1. I asked why you're moving away from documentation on your LP. You replied you're not, but the second key point on your LP is "Say goodbye to boring documentation." BTW I believe I have landed in an AB test? 2. I don't see how using this tool is better than reading documentation. Documentation can be loaded in context in the app. This requires my end user to go to Chrome, download and pin the extension and return to the product.
Andi Bailey
@helloitsolly Replying to this one too, just in case - Tango's Guides are still very much a thing, but now you can follow them on-screen in an interactive walkthrough as well. We're just increasing the options here, hopefully giving people with different learning styles other ways to follow documentation types!
Rocco Seyboth
@helloitsolly You're talking about your external customers? Yeah. You probably would not have all of your customers install the chrome extension. Most Tango customers use Guidance internally or with large clients where they have a lot of custom processes to teach them. For documentation, every Tango you capture still generates a beautiful how-to guide with perfectly cropped screenshots.
Hannah Cohen
@n_wentz @parthi_logan Thanks so much, Parthi!
Nick Berry
Tango is one of my favorite tools. I tell every business owner they need to implement it immediately for any workflow documentation.
Jessica Mauerhan
@nicholosberry Thanks so much Nick!

@frenchpinkhas Thanks Paul! The team really pulled together to crush this :)
Hannah Cohen
@frenchpinkhas Making our day over here. :)
Chris Truglio
Invaluable new tool for onboarding new hires, but tbh even more helpful just for myself when I keep forgetting how I “did that thing a couple months ago”
Jessica Mauerhan
@truglio Totally! So much easier than trying to write it out or remember :)
Ritik Singh Panwar
Hey @ken_babcock Could you please explain to me how "Tango Guidance" works as if you were explaining it to a five-year-old (Eli5)?
Ken Babcock
@ritik_singh_panwar Tango Guidance shows you exactly how to do what you're trying to do on your computer screen. Did I pass the test!?
Ritik Singh Panwar
Magnificent! @ken_babcock precise and to-the-point explanation. Tango Guidance has become a notable addition to my illustrious eli5.club/showcase list. Exceptionally impressive and refined! 🎙️🔥
Ken Lian
😹 LOL
I just want to support a good launch here that decide not to include the keyword “AI” in the tag line. LOL
Angela Wu Li
@kenlian 🤣 haha you and me both!
Andi Bailey

Jessica Mauerhan
@amy_watson5 Thank you Amy, hearing how much Guidance will improve everyone's daily work gives us all so much joy! You're why we worked so hard on this :)
Peter Xu
Wow, this is great! We're huge on playbooks, and this is way better than our average playbook. I think something like this could be really useful for our user-facing customer support as well!
Angela Wu Li
@peterxu Thanks, Peter! We appreciate the support!
Annie Ng
@peterxu We love using it ourselves for customer support! Thanks for the support Peter!

Love your description. Will give it a try. Good luck with your launch and congrats!
Rocco Seyboth
@svitlana_palamarchuk Thanks! Let us know what you think.
Brian Lovin
Congrats on the ship, this looks wild — now time to move all of our internal docs to this so it's easier to get people ramped up on tools 😍
Jessica Mauerhan
@brian_lovin Woohoo! The best part is, it's going to be so fast and easy to create new Tangos for all those old docs!
