Use case

Onboarding confusion is usually a missing path.

When users ask “Where do I start?” it often means the first successful path isn’t clear, prerequisites are implied, or the next step is buried in long content. Sol Helps captures those moments in the user’s own words—so you can fix onboarding with confidence.

Want the implementation view? How it works.

Fit signals (you’re in the right place if…)
  • New users ask basic questions you thought docs already covered.
  • People get stuck after signup, setup, or the first “blank state.”
  • Support is repeating the same onboarding answers in different words.
  • Your analytics shows drop-off, but you don’t know why.
The real problem
Onboarding confusion isn’t a “support volume” problem — it’s a clarity gap in the path to first success.
What Sol Helps changes
You stop guessing which onboarding step is unclear. You see the exact questions users ask at the moment they stall.
What it complements
Funnels show where users drop. Sol Helps explains why — in the user’s own phrasing.
Set expectations
Start small: train on your onboarding + getting started docs first. Expand once you see repeated themes.

Workflow

How Sol Helps resolves onboarding confusion

It captures raw help-seeking behaviour and turns it into themes you can act on — without adding a tagging project.

Capture real questions
Users ask for help in natural language while they’re stuck — not days later in a survey.
Cluster into themes
Similar questions roll up into stable themes as evidence accumulates — reducing noise.
Create decision-ready outputs
You get prioritized clarity gaps (and example wording) so you can fix onboarding confidently.

Proof block

What an onboarding theme looks like

Example structure you’ll see in Sol Helps. (Snippets below are illustrative.)

Theme
“I don’t know the first successful step”
Example question snippets (3–6)
  • “What’s the very first thing I should do after signup?”
  • “Do I need to create a project first, or connect data?”
  • “Which option is the recommended setup for new users?”
  • “Why can’t I see the button the guide mentions?”
  • “Is there a quick start path? The docs feel too broad.”
Where it happened

Onboarding guide, step 2 (“Create your first …”), plus in-product empty state on the first dashboard view.

Suggested change (example)

Add a single “First Success Path” block: 3 steps, one screenshot, explicit prerequisites, and a link to the “recommended setup” path. Update the empty state with a one-line next-step CTA.

Note: Sol Helps does not “invent” certainty — themes get stronger as repeated evidence accumulates.

Start small

A minimal first step that works

You don’t need perfect docs. Start with the smallest onboarding set that represents your real happy path.

Train on a small onboarding set
Upload only the pages that represent your first success path (quick start, onboarding, first setup, common blockers).
Watch themes emerge
Within days, you’ll see repeated questions cluster into 1–3 themes. Fix the highest-signal theme first.

Turn onboarding uncertainty into a clear next action.

Install once, learn from real questions, and fix the first high-impact clarity gap.
