About Appcues
Appcues drops Embeds — in-product experiences that live inside the UI rather than overlay it.
Appcues is a product-adoption platform whose recent quarter has run two parallel storylines. Captain AI, the in-product assistant, has gone from a chat helper to something that drafts segments, analyzes funnels, diagnoses display problems, and explains performance — adding capability essentially every monthly release. Alongside that, the team has expanded the experience surface itself: an MCP Server that exposes Appcues data to ChatGPT and Claude, and Embeds — a new experience type that lives inside the product UI rather than as an overlay.
