You can now publish a help center directly from Userorbit, hosted on your own domain via userorbit.help subdomains or a custom CNAME.
Articles are organized into collections — group related content so customers can browse by topic instead of scrolling a flat list. Each collection gets its own landing page with article previews.
The help center includes full-text search, responsive layouts, and automatic SEO metadata. Write articles in the same editor you use for announcements, then publish them to a public knowledge base your customers can access without logging in.
If you currently maintain docs in a separate tool, this is a good reason to consolidate.

Publish a help center on your own domain

Every tour, survey, and announcement now has its own analytics view. See completion rates, step-level drop-offs, and engagement trends over time.
For tours, track which steps users finish and where they abandon. For surveys, see response distributions and completion percentages. For announcements, monitor read rates and reaction breakdowns.
A workspace-level dashboard aggregates performance across all entities — total views, unique engagers, and weekly trends. Filter by date range or content type to focus on what matters.
Analytics are available on all plans with no additional setup.

See how your tours, surveys, and announcements perform

Userorbit now integrates with GitHub and Slack to bring your development activity and team conversations into one place.
GitHub: Connect via OAuth and select which repositories to track. Userorbit indexes commits, pull requests, and releases so you can reference real changes when writing announcements.
Slack: Link channels and threads to your workspace. Surface product discussions, customer requests, and internal decisions alongside your content pipeline.
Both integrations are managed from a centralized Integrations settings page. Connect once, then use the data across announcements, help articles, and roadmap items.

Connect GitHub and Slack to your workspace

Integration

The automation engine lets you schedule recurring content generation. Set a cadence — weekly, biweekly, or on every release — and Userorbit drafts announcements or help articles from your connected sources automatically.
Each automation run produces a draft you can review, edit, and publish. Nothing goes live without your approval.
Access automations from the Cmd+K agent panel or the dedicated Autopilot page. The stats view shows generation history, publish rates, and average time from draft to publish.
Autopilot is available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Automate your announcements and help articles

Connected a GitHub repo or Slack workspace? You can now select a range of commits or a thread and have Userorbit draft a changelog entry from the source material.
The generation pipeline streams results with live thinking steps so you can follow the reasoning as it writes. Once a draft is ready, you get action chips to publish, save as draft, or archive — one click to move it forward.
Every AI-generated action supports undo. If you publish and change your mind, roll it back without hunting through version history.
This works for announcements today. Help center article generation is coming next.

Generate changelogs from GitHub commits and Slack threads

AI-powered features — changelog generation, writing assistant, and autopilot — are now metered by plan. Each plan tier includes a monthly quota of AI generations.
You can track your current usage and remaining quota from Workspace Settings → Usage. When you approach your limit, you will see a notification in the editor. Quotas reset on the first of each month.
Free plans include a limited number of generations to try the features. Pro and Enterprise plans include higher quotas suitable for regular use. If you need more, contact us about custom limits.

Updates

Tours now support carousel steps — multi-panel layouts that let you walk users through related features in a single step. Swipe or click through panels without advancing the entire tour.
The portal has a fresh visual design with cleaner spacing, updated typography, and improved loading performance.
A few more highlights:
<ul>
<li>overrideDismissed — re-show tours that users previously dismissed, useful for re-onboarding after major changes</li>
<li>Chrome extension layout improvements for narrower viewports</li>
<li>Builder v0.0.13 with better step reordering and preview accuracy</li>
</ul>

Carousel tours, portal redesign, and builder improvements

The help center now has an Organize page with a drag-and-drop tree view. Reorder articles within collections, move articles between collections, and nest subcategories — all without leaving the page.
Team invitations have been streamlined. Invite members by email, assign roles upfront, and track pending invitations from the team settings page. Accepted invites now provision access instantly.
The announcement editor includes an AI writing assistant. Open the chat panel, describe what you want to say, and get a draft you can edit inline. The assistant uses your workspace context — recent changes, product name, tone — to produce relevant first drafts.
