Skene

About Skene

Imagine you're a solo developer or a small startup founder. You've poured your soul into building a beautiful, functional product. But now comes the hard part: growth. You need users to not just sign up, but to activate, to see the magic, and to stay. The traditional path is daunting—hiring a growth team, stitching together a fragile stack of analytics dashboards, A/B testing tools, and onboarding widgets that break with every code push. It's a distraction from your craft. Skene is the answer to that dilemma. It's a fully automated, product-led growth (PLG) iteration engine designed to grow your product autonomously. Built specifically for indie developers and early-stage startups, Skene turns your codebase into a self-optimizing growth machine. It works by deeply understanding your customer's code, observing real user actions to detect friction and drop-off points. Then, it automatically creates, tests, and deploys improved versions of user flows for onboarding, activation, and retention. The platform's core promise is powerful: stop managing external growth widgets and start shipping intrinsic growth loops. Growth becomes part of your infrastructure—code you own, version, and prompt, right from your IDE. With Skene, your product improves itself, freeing you to focus on what you do best: building.

Features of Skene

Codebase-Derived Growth Signals

Skene doesn't rely on superficial click tracking. It connects directly to your repository with read-only access, performing a deep analysis of your codebase structure, framework, and components. This allows it to automatically detect inherent growth signals, identify potential friction points in user flows, and uncover activation opportunities. The insights are derived from the source of truth—your product's architecture—ensuring they are accurate, relevant, and automatically updated with every commit.

Automated Flow Optimization & Testing

Once Skene understands your product's landscape, it moves from observation to action. The platform automatically generates improved versions of key user journeys, such as onboarding sequences or feature discovery paths. It then runs these variations as experiments, measuring their real impact on user activation and retention. Finally, it deploys the winning configuration without requiring manual intervention, creating a continuous cycle of self-improvement for your core growth loops.

Prompt-Driven Growth Infrastructure

Skene integrates growth directly into your development workflow. Instead of a siloed, third-party dashboard, you interact with Skene via prompts in your IDE or terminal. You can audit your growth setup, generate implementation code, or run analyses with simple commands. This "growth as code" philosophy means your AI agents can understand and modify your growth logic, and everything is version-controlled alongside your product.

Outcome-Based Analytics Dashboard

Move beyond vanity metrics. Skene provides a clean analytics dashboard focused on outcomes like user progress, journey completion rates, time-to-value, and bottleneck identification. You get real-time visibility into how your self-optimizing flows are performing, allowing you to measure the tangible impact of improvements and make data-informed decisions without sifting through complex, generic analytics.

Use Cases of Skene

The Indie Developer's Growth Co-Pilot

For solo builders and small indie teams, every hour is precious. Skene acts as an automated co-pilot, taking over the relentless work of growth optimization that they simply don't have time for. It handles the continuous testing and tuning of onboarding and activation, allowing the developer to stay focused on building new features and improving the core product, confident that the user experience is constantly improving itself.

The Startup's "Growth Team in a Box"

Early-stage startups need to achieve product-market fit and scale growth before they can afford a dedicated growth team. Skene serves as that immediate, automated growth department. It systematically tightens activation funnels, expands customer lifetime value (LTV), and strengthens retention loops—all without adding headcount or requiring specialized growth expertise from the founding team.

PLG Companies Scaling Efficiency

For established product-led growth companies, Skene eliminates the operational overhead of maintaining a brittle growth tech stack. It replaces manual tour builders, external analytics snippets, and weekly growth meetings with a unified, self-learning engine. This allows companies to scale their PLG motion more efficiently, ensuring activation and retention systems stay optimized as the product evolves, without proportional increases in team size.

Seamless Customer Journey Automation

From the first touchpoint to becoming a power user, Skene automates the entire customer lifecycle. It can guide new users through personalized onboarding, prompt feature adoption based on their behavior, and trigger re-engagement flows for users at risk of churn. This creates a cohesive, automated journey that nurtures users toward success, reducing the load on customer success teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PLG software?

Product-Led Growth (PLG) software is designed to help users discover and realize value within a product on their own, without requiring manual intervention from sales or customer success teams. It automates and optimizes the user journey, using the product itself as the primary vehicle to guide users to activation, drive feature adoption, and strengthen long-term retention.

How is Skene different from traditional customer experience software?

Traditional tools like tour builders or analytics platforms require manual setup, constant maintenance, and rely on brittle UI overlays that often break when you deploy new code. Skene is fundamentally different. It reads your actual codebase to automatically generate and update onboarding flows, analytics, and automation. When you push new code, Skene's understanding and implementations update automatically, making it resilient and integrated.

How long does it take to set up?

Setup is designed to be incredibly fast, taking less than 60 seconds. You simply connect your GitHub or GitLab repository, granting Skene read-only access. The platform then automatically analyzes your codebase to generate initial PLG flows and insights. No initial code changes, API integrations, or complex configuration is required to get started.

Is my source code secure with Skene?

Absolutely. Security is a primary concern. Skene only ever requests read-only access to your repository. Our analysis is performed in a secure, isolated environment. We do not store your source code, and we never have write access or the ability to modify your code in any way. Your intellectual property remains entirely under your control.
