Skene

About Skene

Skene is your fully automated, AI-powered growth engine, designed to help your product grow on its own. Think of it as a self-learning system that continuously improves how users discover value in your app. It's built specifically for indie developers, early-stage startups, and product-led growth (PLG) companies who want powerful growth automation without needing a dedicated team or complex manual work. The core magic of Skene is that it connects directly to your codebase. Instead of adding clunky third-party scripts that slow down your app and hide your data, Skene analyzes your actual source code to understand your product's unique flows. It then uses this deep understanding to automatically detect where users get stuck, test better onboarding paths, and optimize for activation and retention. This means your product's growth infrastructure becomes just another part of your code—something you own, version, and can even prompt your AI assistant to manage. With Skene, you stop manually building and tweaking growth widgets and start shipping self-improving growth loops.

Features of Skene

Codebase-Powered Signal Detection

Skene reads your repository to automatically identify key user actions and friction points directly from your code. It scans your application structure to find onboarding steps, feature usage patterns, and potential drop-off points without you having to manually tag or instrument anything. This provides a rich, accurate context layer that understands your product's actual flow, not just surface-level clicks.

Autonomous Growth Loop Engine

Once Skene understands your code, it acts like a self-driving system for growth. It automatically creates improved versions of user journeys, such as tweaking an onboarding sequence. It then runs tests between these variations, measures their real impact on user activation, and seamlessly deploys the winning configuration. Your onboarding and activation flows literally improve themselves over time.

Prompt-Driven Growth Management

You manage your growth infrastructure through natural language prompts, just like you would with an AI coding assistant. Instead of navigating complex dashboards, you can ask Skene to analyze your codebase, generate a growth plan, or implement a specific optimization. This integrates growth work directly into your existing developer workflow within your IDE.

Secure, Owned Infrastructure

Skene operates with read-only access to your code, ensuring your intellectual property remains secure and private. The analysis happens in an isolated environment. Most importantly, the growth logic and manifests it generates become part of your codebase. You own and version this infrastructure, eliminating reliance on external, brittle third-party scripts.

Use Cases of Skene

The Indie Developer or Small Team

Solo founders and small teams wear many hats and often don't have time for dedicated growth work. Skene acts as an automated growth co-pilot, handling the continuous optimization of onboarding and activation so developers can focus on building core product features, confident that their user experience is constantly improving itself.

The Early-Stage Startup

Startups need to move fast and prove growth without the budget for a full growth team. Skene serves as a "growth team in a box," providing immediate, sophisticated PLG automation from day one. It helps them find product-market fit faster by systematically removing user friction and maximizing activation rates with minimal manual effort.

The Scaling PLG Company

For established product-led companies, scaling growth often means adding headcount. Skene helps scale activation and expand customer lifetime value (LTV) without linearly increasing team size. It automates the optimization of complex user journeys and retention loops, freeing up human teams to work on strategic initiatives.

Replacing Legacy Analytics & Onboarding Stacks

Companies tired of managing multiple, disjointed tools for analytics, user onboarding tours, and A/B testing can consolidate with Skene. It replaces a legacy stack of siloed widgets with a unified, code-native system that updates automatically with every deploy, breaking the cycle of manual tour maintenance and broken UI overlays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PLG software?

PLG, or Product-Led Growth, software is designed to help users discover and realize value in your product entirely through their own interaction with it, without requiring manual intervention from sales or support teams. It automates the user journey, guiding them to key activation moments, driving feature adoption, and strengthening retention—all through the product experience itself.

How is Skene different from traditional customer experience software?

Traditional tools like tour builders require you to manually create content, which then breaks every time you update your UI. They rely on external scripts that hurt performance. Skene is fundamentally different: it reads your codebase to automatically generate and update onboarding flows and analytics. When you push new code, Skene's understanding and your growth automations update automatically.

How long does it take to set up Skene?

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

Is my source code secure with Skene?

Absolutely. Security is a top priority. 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. The growth logic and manifests generated are added to your own codebase, which you fully own and control.
