Portal

Links to try any product at any moment with no setup

Overview

What it is

Portal exists because trying software is still weirdly fake. We send landing pages, videos, and demos - but the first time someone actually uses a product still requires signups, installs, or a sales call. Portal lets you send a browser session, which can be open to any real, running state of your product. That could be opened to localhost:3000, with an extension installed, or logged into a demo account with safety, resets, and optional AI. You get analytics. The link allows a temp session.

Intent

I need it when

Onboard new users into pre-configured product states with guided assistance

Portal allows teams to drop users into a specific application state with an AI guide trained on product documentation. The guide answers questions and provides contextual product experiences, reducing time-to-value and support burden during onboarding.

Conduct user research to identify friction points and drop-off moments

Portal captures click-level analytics on every user interaction within shared sessions. Researchers can watch where users hesitate, get stuck, or abandon exploration, providing qualitative insights into usability issues without requiring screen recordings or manual observation.

Replace initial sales calls with self-serve product demonstrations

Portal lets sales teams share interactive product links that prospects can explore instantly without installation or signup. Recipients experience the real UI in an isolated session, and AI guides can provide structured product walkthroughs. Click-level analytics show which features prospects engage with, enabling data-driven follow-ups.

Share Chrome extensions and localhost projects without requiring local installation

Portal converts any browser state—including Chrome extensions, localhost servers, and local files—into shareable links. Recipients access isolated sessions instantly, eliminating installation friction for developers sharing early-stage projects or extensions.

Enable DevRel teams to run synchronized workshops where all participants access the same environment

Portal lets DevRel teams generate shareable links to a configured product state. All workshop participants open the same environment instantly in isolated sessions, ensuring consistent experience and eliminating setup delays.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Users need to share static mockups or video recordings instead of interactive product experiences
  • Organizations require on-premise or self-hosted solutions without cloud infrastructure
  • Products are desktop-only applications that cannot run in a browser environment
  • Teams need to automate user workflows rather than provide guided product exploration
  • Users require integration with legacy systems that do not support browser-based access
